PANIC: Can the Padres Rotation SURVIVE After Missing Out On MacKenzie Gore & Freddy Peralta?

San Diego Padres rocked by FanGraphs’ #24 rotation ranking—are fans right to worry, or is this underrating a team on the edge of a comeback? Javier Reyes breaks down Padres rotation projections, from Michael King’s health to Nick Pivetta’s potential regression, and questions whether Randy Vasquez’s devil-magic in 2025 can hold up. With Joe Musgrove’s value, bullpen depth, and free agents like Chris Bassitt still in play, the pitching staff’s upside might surprise critics.Javi also calls out MLB’s broader issues: Are teams like the Brewers and Nationals sabotaging their own futures with questionable trades? Will league-wide reluctance to spend derail parity more than the Dodgers ever could? All of that and more!
