CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Guardians continued to add arms to their bullpen Thursday by adding ex-Pirates righty Colin Holderman on a one-year contract worth a reported $1.5 million.

After signing former Angels and Phillies right-hander Connor Brogdon to a big league contract ahead of the MLB winter meetings on Dec. 3, the club selected righty Peyton Pallette from the White Sox on Wednesday in the Rule 5 Draft. Manager Stephen Vogt told reporters in Orlando that the club was making relievers a priority.

“We need a lot,” Vogt said. “We need depth in the bullpen. We have four, maybe five, guys in our bullpen and we need eight.

“It’s an area we’re addressing for sure.”
