It's a major weakness. It's a rotation with three #3-4 starters, Scherzer with 1 thumb, and then an overachieving Lauer. They desperately need to add to the rotation at the deadline, and not a bottom of the rotation starter.

Luck and we lost a lot of blowouts.

Problem is they do not have the assets to get a legit top of the rotation guy. The rotation was not adequately addressed in the off-season. Unless they trade their top two prospects, you are not getting a top of the line rotation guy with their farm system that is one of the worst in MLB. Have to settle for another 3rd/4th starter instead.

They’ll trade both of those prospects I expect.

Massive blow to the organization when both Pearson and Manoah flamed out. Could’ve been 2 top of the rotation anchors.

Only way I am trading Arjun Nimmala and Trey Yesavage is for a legit top of the rotation guy, who is under team control also for multiple years. Your farm system already sucks, so no way I am parting with those two guys for some rental.

Was Pearson a top mlb prospect or was he just the top jays.

Looks like his peak was #8 overall in 2020

Rated #2 RHP in 2020 and #1 in 2021

Who said it was? It was a caught stealing attempt. It wasn’t a throw over for no reason.

This FO won’t care about the future at this point. Both of those guys are at risk of moving.
