The Cleveland Guardians got active in free agency again by making a somewhat surprising investment in reliever Paul Sewald. We discuss why the Guardians decided to use limited free agent budget to add to an already good bullpen and why he's an upgrade there. We also get into the lesser mentioned signing former first rounder, top 100 prospect Riley Pint to a minor league deal.

3:48 - Bullpen volatility and why the Sewald signing makes sense

4:30 - Sewald's injury history and potential value
