Still a free agent, but not a viable option now. Any deal we are going to make has to be a legit number 2 starter. We have the safety valve now as far as professional inning eaters.
We have to be thinking upside now...that means even if it was a FA...it has to be a guy who can strike the fear into someone. A LEGIT NUMBER 2 starter...Playoff thoughts.
Keeping Kendrys and signing Kyle Lohse would have been an option...I guess he was going to be too expensive as well.
Looks like a trade deadline deal will be in order for a number 2 starter.
In the meantime...Sign a left handed DH to replace Kendry's...it's the way to go. (Cheap)
