I’m equally if not more bullish on them getting elite pen arms.
Depth in starting pitching can get you through a season and into the playoffs. As we saw in the playoffs, if starters can get you 5 innings and minimize damage, you can definitely win if you’ve got a lockdown pen.
An inning eating SP (like Bassitt, but ideally better) would also fit the bill and then look at adding power arms in the pen. Plus, an arm or two in the system (Tieddeman) could very well emerge.
