If there is anything San Diego Padres fans can take away from our Faux Winter Meetings at FanSided, it’s that finding a top of the rotation pitcher will not be an easy task.
It seems like almost every team is hungry for top of the rotation pitching this offseason, and as a result, the price tag for these pitchers (both in money and prospects) has skyrocketed.
So when you see this trade below, just know this wasn’t my first, second, or even sixth choice for a starting pitcher. But it was the best I could do with what was left out there.
