I like Cueto and all, but is he not a FA at season's end? I understand it would take a lot to land an ace like Cueto, I'm just not sure that I would be prepared to do so with this roster. While the past 8 games has been great, there are still some holes, and I don't know if Cueto would be enough to push them to an AL East crown.

I do think if Anthopolous thinks he is enough to get you a division crown, you pull the trigger on the deal. There is the outside chance that Stroman is back in September too. After all, Anthopolous is probably battling for his job next year too.

I personally would rather bolster the rotation with a #2/3 starter and two bullpen pieces. It doesn't have to be Papelbon neither, guy get a guy like Clippard, as we don't use the closer we have in place right now.
