It’s tempting to call the A’s current rotation a disaster, but A) it doesn’t currently exist and B) it didn’t stop them from going to the playoffs last season.
Regardless of last season’s bullpen-centric success, it’s highly likely the A’s will acquire some new starting pitchers, and with the playoff window open the A’s will have to look in multiple places. New arms could come via trade and via free agency. So who will those pitchers be?
The free agent crop is impressive in depth and quality. Unfortunately, this is an A’s blog meaning the top free agents aren’t all that interesting to discuss because the A’s are out-priced.
