Pitching needs to be the focus.
Injured Players: We need Steele and Brown to be healthy and Horton to come back at some point later in the season.
New Free Agents: Need to pick up at minimum one guy for the rotation, a 1 or 2 guy. Skubal would be great but that’s a pipe dream. Michael King has a player option for $28M so he will probably stay with the padres.
Need 1-2 elite relief pitchers. The guy who stands out is Morejón from Padres. If we don’t get him then the offseason is a failure.
Current Guys: Should re-sign Holmes or Gausman. I think Holmes has a player option but idk if either of these guys will want to return after this disaster end. Holmes didn’t even get an inning in Wild Card series.
i am not ready to give up on Cabrera yet either. He’d make a solid 4-5 guy if he can figure it out.
Rotation
1. Free Agent
2. Steele
3. Brown
4. Holmes
5. Cabrera
6. Horton in the mix if he’s back
Top pen guys: Morejón, Palencia, Zeferjahn, Miller, Rolison, etc. Hopefully 1-2 elite additions.
