Should the Phillies wait until 2020 to pay a starting pitcher?

The Phillies have been connected to nearly every big-name free agent this offseason, including most of the starting pitchers available. While pitching carried the Phillies through the first half of last season the young arms fell apart in September, resulting in an 80-82 season.

Adding an established starting pitcher is on the wish list of most fans and the front office, but is this the year to go all in on a starting pitcher? Is there actually someone worth giving a $100 million contract this offseason?

The top five names available this offseason are Patrick Corbin, Dallas Keuchel, Charlie Morton, Hyun-Jin Ryu, and Nathan Eovaldi.
