Yep, that's the joke.
The serious point beneath the joke is that it is almost never a good idea to spend big on relievers. (I mean, they didn't even spend "big" on Diekman, but still.) To a first approximation, all relievers are at roughly the same level of "not quite good enough to be major league starters," and while some of them go on nice 100 IP runs to get the reputation of "Proven Closers," it is so rarely predictive as to not be worth spending big money on.
ADD: Current ERAs among relievers signed prior to 2022 for $8 million+ AAV:
Jansen: 3.75 Iglesias: 3.17 Kelly: 7.45 Neris: 3.36 Loup: 3.99
Graveman: 2.59
Average: 4.05
If these 6 guys were their own bullpen they'd rank between the 19th and 20th best bullpen in the majors.
If you take out Joe Kelly, the other 5 guys average 3.37. Matt Strahm, signed for $3 million, is as 3.38.
you forgot Barnes.....5.75 ! how could you do that ? LOL. And Kimbrel's 3.97 too! But technically those two weren't pre-2022 offseason FA signings.

Cordero's big looping swing doesn't catch up to many pitches. Black hole in the lineup.

The Franchy slide has begun. Begun? He is already around the Mendoza line.

Franchie is in more than a slide. He's cratering. Painful, and predictable, to watch

That ball was in the air a long time. Casas apparently does a lot of things. Cover ground is not one of them.

that was a good strike call, close, but correct.

Damn Franchy looks like an Achilles injury (total guess but looking at how he twisted it)

Casas does not look confident yet vs lefties.

Game is a bit like watching paint dry. Part of it is playing in Tampa with the 68 crappy fans. Rest is just lack of consistent offense again.

Another awesome start for Wacha.

Wacha with 1000 k's great accomplishment. Nolan Ryan had 5,714. That is ridiculous.
