“We’ve got some starters already in our rotation, but we don’t feel like we have enough,” manager Davey Martinez told reporters at the Winter Meetings last week, reiterating the message he’d been sending since the end of the 2022 season about where the club and their front office would focus when it came to building for 2023.
“As the season goes along, things happen. We do need, especially if we can get another veteran starter, it will be great, one or two,” Martinez added.
Patrick Corbin, Josiah Gray, MacKenzie Gore, and Cade Cavalli figure to be part of the big league rotation, but both Martinez and GM Mike Rizzo stressed last week the need to find other arms who could help out in the rotation (and/or in long relief roles).
