What if there were a couple dozen of these guys in MLB---itinerant free agents. They just keep in shape and are available on a temporary basis to fill in wherever they are needed. Injury reserves, middle relievers, whatever. All the way up to the superstar pitcher who can get a million dollars a game. A team could carry a 24 man roster, and phone an iFA that fits their current need. There could even be one that lives in NYC, for example, and when you need him for a series against the Yankees or Mets or Phils or Red Sox, and it you let him know by 5-pm, he can be there suited up by game time. Maybe he could even hang out at the ball park, and if you use up too much of your bullpen, and go into extra innings, send somebody into the field boxes to tell him to put on a cup.
