    Give me Snell from SD than make the call to Colorado and grab Bard and Marquez. If not Marquez call Boston and grab Eovaldi. Snell, Gray, Ryan, Marquez/Eovaldi and Smeltzer/Winder as your 5 man rotation. Duran, Bard, Jax as reliable bullpen arms Call up Strotman, Canterino, SWR or any other young capable arm and give them a chance. DFA Smith and Sano. Maybe Archer or Bundy can be bullpen arms or else they can be DFA'd as well Assuming we won't give the prospect capital to be in on Montas or Castillo this adds arms you would feel ok with starting in the postseason.

    And Correa isn't going to want to play on a team that he doesn't think is serious about winning.

    I think yesterday shows why I'm so high on adding and Ace. I love what Ryan has done this year but in an ideal world he's your #2 or #3 pitcher on a contending rotation. Let's worry about next years depth or "to many pitchers" next year. Find an Ace now when you have a team and figure the rest out next year. Show Correa your willing to make moves to win now and maybe that sits better with him and adds to the hope he resigns.

    We've hit some aces well this regular season for sure, and come post season we could do that as well. When facing Verlander, Valdez, Javier Cole, Taillon, Severino. etc.. I'd like us to be able to matchup starting pitchers. We've seen the rodeo before where we go into post season games with far less superior pitching and have the mindset we have the bats and will just out hit them....that doesn't play in the postseason. You need DUDES in your rotation that can carry a game if need be. **Also need some bullpen arms to shut the door as well

    I think the people who are saying our SP is already stable and hasn't been an issue so we don't' need a SP are probably worried about winning the division and not making any noise in the post season. Need a legitimate #1 or #2 starter if you have any chance at winning playoff games. A playoff rotation of say Castillo, Gray, Ryan at the front of the rotation is the minimum you'll need. Also strengthens bullpen by allowing Ober, smeltzer, ect.. to throw out of the bullpen come postseason. Winder, Ober are fun young guys with upside who hopefully are longterm answers for us but when you get to the postseason again Houston, NYY or TOR they have proven pitchers with really good lineups. Need an Ace to go against those lineups come postseason. Winder, Ober, Smelzter round out the rotation nicely to win a bad division and be ok with no post season success.

    Few other names that aren't so much reclamation projects but pitchers who could become available or have been named as available who could probably help the rotation and not cost a huge prospect package. David Price- has been the bullpen and not what he was but could be used in the postseason with a ton of experience in the postseason Jose Quintana- Should be a cheap get (doesn't move the needle much) Noah Syndergaard- If the Angels keeps sliding he could be a nice pitcher to snag for the postseason push and if he is successful hopefully enjoys his time and resign this winter. Blake Snell/Mike Clevinger- Padres won't fall out of the race because of all of their arms but because of injuries could the Twins entice them to move off of one of their arms for a bat? Kepler or Urshella maybe in exchange for one of the arms? Snell coming back from injury and so maybe more likely of the 2 but Clevinger is a FA this winter as well.

    That's not a rotation you want to go into the post season with IMO. Gray and Ryan yes....Ober, Archer and Smeltzer/Bundy are not ideal starting pitchers against the yankees, blue jays. astros, etc.. Kendricks and Marques should both be cheap prospect wise and if they aren't willing to sell prospects for a Castillo, Montas type starter than they need to throw some darts and hope something works because we've seen what the current guys have and I don't' want to see that come postseason if they get in!

    Perfect time to use Kepler with some prospects to get a SP that can be added to the rotation to help this year. Between Celestino, Kirilloff and Larnach or even Gordon they can handle the corner OF spots and shouldn't lose much prodcution from what they are getting from Kepler.
