    Anyone have Gusto in the 5 or 6 man rotation moving forward?

    Valdez
    Brown
    Javier
    Arrighetti
    Walter (hopefully he's ok)
    Garcia
    France

    Seems like he was pretty far down the pecking order.

    Sure hope none of Arrighetti, Javier or Garcia were in the Correa deal

    No issue trading Gusto

    But gotta fill the rotation. Astros must be happy with health of Arrighetti, Javier, Garcia, and Walter

    Astros are like you waste our time we are going to waste your time too. Padres get nothing but the final 2 month of Dylan, simply because they got greedy. Astros have guys coming off the IR, and they aren’t chopped liver. Maybe a little rusty, but hopefully one guys steps it up to seize the #3 starter spot.

    It's supposedly a "minimal" prospect, and the Twins are picking up $33M of the tab.

    Padres overvaluing their players in trade talks with the Astros. Boy, never seen that before.

    So my interest now turns to what we gave up for Correa (apparently not Matthews )

    I've read multiple places that "other major league players" were involved

    It's extremely weird none of it has been released yet

    Serves them right for tossing around prospects like strung out imbeciles every time Preller takes another bump of coke.

    Maybe we will get lucky for and Walter will actually return. Dubin managed to avoid surgery so who knows it could happen.

    7 legit choices to whittle down to 5.

    They don't all have to be successful in their return.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we go 6-man rotation...

    We feel good about Dubin's return? That would be tremendous.

    He has rehab appearances on the slate.
