Banuelos, 23, pitched A, AA and Triple A last season after missing 2013 (Tommy John Surgery). Baseball Prospectus and Baseball America each had him as the No. 29 prospect in baseball prior to the 2012 season.
Carpenter, 29, pitched the last two seasons in Atlanta – putting up solid numbers in the Braves bullpen. Shreve, 24, pitched in 15 games for the Braves last season.
