Lacking the financial flexibility or willingness to surrender top prospects, San Diego Padres General Manager AJ Preller has failed to add significant depth to the 2020 starting rotation.
Everyone who follows baseball knows that the key to a successful team is the pitching depth.
So what do you do when you are unable to add any significant talent to an inexperienced starting rotation?
You add major talent to the bullpen to shorten the game for the starters.
If the Padres rotation can cover 5 innings per game in 2020 they have a heavy weight group behind them to lock things down.
