Earlier this week, we looked at three free agent starting pitchers the San Diego Padres should take a look at when free agency begins in just a few days. Outside of Patrick Corbin, there really aren’t many names worth throwing big money at for a team that is at least two years away from seriously competing. If AJ Preller wants to upgrade his rotation, he will need to pick up the phone and make a deal to bring in a front-line starter.
The free agent market isn’t completely void and each of the names we mentioned yesterday could be good fits but many of the top names available will be 30 or older when Opening Day 2019 rolls around.
