Those guys could be Montgomery and Butler..
Adding Quintana and maybe another SP , not only improve the rotation but will also improve the bullpen by adding those two to it..
Question then will be who goes , between Grimm Strop and Rondon

Rumor is they are still in on Gray. Honestly All they can afford to trade right now is Almora, Candelero and DeLaCruz. Maybe add Preston Morrison. It is not a epic trade but it have depth/control which Oak may like more than 1 top flight guy that they can't hold onto.
So that is a maybe.
Over all Rondon had been off more than on. Strop can put out a turd then toss 2 weeks of clean. Edwards just walks too many guys. He is the "Sexy" choice but really lacks that consistency.
Butler not sure honestly. He has a really nice breaking pitch and in 1 inning situations he might play up his slider/fastball more. He does walk his share and that is a issue in short stints where you need to get clean innings.
In the pen you have high leverage types. IE SO guys. Those guys you want to bring in with guys on base vs starting a inning. Strop and Edwards are ideal here. When they are not giving free passes.
Then you have guys that are better starting a inning. Davis and Rondon fall under this type. Kinda a starter mentality. Grimm also was a starter so he falls here.
So seeing how we are talking the 8th. Rondon should have been that guy. but he has really not been that guy. Honestly they need to upgrade him and cut. Uraha has been used in this and for a guy over 40 he does a fine job. But we are talking about a guy over 40 who doesn't break 90 MPH.
