The article discusses Non-Roster Invitees (NRIs) in baseball, particularly how they affect the roster dynamics. It suggests that typically only relief pitcher prospects are likely to make the Opening Day roster without significant injuries, good performances in spring training, or available spots. NRIs serve as a way for young players to experience major league play while allowing management to evaluate their potential. Older NRIs may fill bench roles or serve as relief pitchers, fulfilling ongoing team needs. Additionally, further signings are anticipated in February for potential roster enhancement.
The team gets the coverage they deserve. NRI's out today generally only RP kids will make the OD roster if the pieces fall into place.
The NRIs that aren't kids have a chance to make it as last man in the bench types or just regular relief arms bc those are always in demand.
