Fantasy Impact:

Cora said that both Matt Barnes and Adam Ottavino would be important relievers for the team this season. We would bet on Barnes receiving the majority of save chances this year, but he might not be the preferred ninth inning option in every game. This will be a situation to monitor early this season.
