Starting pitching is definitely top of the shopping list before the deadline. Hopefully Shota stays healthy once he is back, Taillon is fine, but the rest of the rotation basically is playing with house money for better or worse. Boyd has been pretty good but past injury history makes you wonder if he will hold up or get fatigued, Horton is just a rookie, Brown has been all over the place, and not sure what to expect from Rea as he's been shaky lately too. This is not a rotation you can trust in a playoff series, really need to add 1 or 2 solid starters if you are going all-in for a run. The bullpen is not a concern that it was early in the season but would not be against acquiring a proven closer or setup type guy as can never have too much pitching. Been very lucky that guys like Keller, Pomeranz, Flexen, and Braiser have far exceeded expectations and been solid and Palencia has been mostly good as well. Pressly and Cabrera are probably the 2 bullpen arms I least trust and that's saying a lot because earlier this season that list had some guys that are no longer with the org or back in Iowa. Seems to be a lot shorter leash this season if a reliever can't get guys out than it has been the past few years.
