Shinji Mori is a talented reliever who will add depth to our bullpen. He's had a successful career in Japan, and we look forward to his continued success with the Devil Rays. This is the organization's first agreement with a player from the Japanese leagues, and we hope this will lead to more opportunities in Asia.

It doesn't make sense for us to make a trade unless we get a piece or two back to add to our collection of young talent. If we don't get that piece or two, it behooves us to keep the momentum we built in the second half with our young players and build off that.

As we've stated from the beginning, our objective is to add as much pitching as we can. If any deal presents itself that makes sense pitching-wise or otherwise, we're prepared to make a move. If not, we're content with the way the roster is shaping up.
