This is the third in the series. So far we have not issued a qualifying offer to Josh Johnson and we have not traded Jose Bautista or Edwin Encarnacion for a starter. But we still need pitching depth. There are some teams out there with a surplus of starters and a weak bullpen, and you as GM have put together a deal to bring in a starter. As GM you have a surplus of relievers, and you will not be able to keep them all on the major league roster next season. You have a strength in the bullpen and you will use it to beef up the rotation.
The deal is that Toronto will acquire a starting pitcher in exchange for four bullpen arms. You get to decide who those arms are. Your decision is:
One of Casey Janssen or Sergio Santos
One of Brett Cecil or Aaron Loup
Two of Steve Delabar, Neil Wagner, Dustin McGowan, Todd Redmond, Esmil Rogers or Jeremy Jeffress.
Which four pitchers do you put in the deal?
I had this idea written down a few weeks ago but hat tip to shaker for coming up with the same concept in the last you be the GM thread.
