go ahead and win 5 games in a row here or so and consider buying an arm for the second half to follow Giolito/Cease...
get Lopez to be good Lopez for a stretch,
any arms on the move worth sniffing that can help both now and later? They could stand to move a young corner outfielder or middle infielder and its not too soon to start looking at buy options if it also helps the window.
The window can start whenever they choose it to start now. So make it now!! Add something as simple as a young arm with upside you think you can fix for cheap, or see what it would cost to re-acquire Quintana on the very cheap to free...
Explore every option to find an arm or two and this team could work there way into a frail wild card situation.
