‘”I mean, it helps,” Beane stated. “The goal is to try and fill as many spots as we can so that we’re not going into this draft with a void somewhere. If we hadn’t been able to sign those guys and if they left and we didn’t find proper replacements, it’s not fun going into the draft going, ‘Man we can’t get out of day two without this player.’ It puts a lot of pressure on you, and sometimes you’re reaching a little bit. It can happen because sometimes you lose a free agent and you’re not able to find the right guy in free agency for whatever reason. So, I’ve seen it happen, but very glad to get those guys back and it does help open the board up to us not having to select for need.”‘
