Minor league deal. Gotta think he’s a favorite for a pen spot.

Right. You can’t just hold onto everyone. Guys eventually need to be added to the 40-man and guys run out of options. Elias seems hellbent on trying though.
Maybe to cover for a couple of years but should they be that concerned about not having a "real CF prospect" over the next couple of years? Cedric Mullins also has 2 years of control left.
Realistically, how many innings can even throw this year? Might just need to be a couple inning opener and 1 inning relief type role. That is, until he gets hurt and ends up on the IL…again.
