There are undoubtedly numerous questions for the San Diego Padres as they look towards 2017, but none is more compelling than their pitching staff. Both the rotation and bullpen appear incomplete, as acquisitions are most likely coming in the near future.
Of course, the most pressing question is free agency. Five San Diego pitchers are currently free agents, two starters and three relievers. Depending on where Clayton Richard and Edwin Jackson sign, the rotation could look significantly hold true. The same goes for the bullpen, as Carlos Villanueva, Brandon Morrow, and Zack Braddock weigh their options.
