Im in a similiar situation with my 2nd year marlins (dumpster fire save file). Offense is above average (castro nearly won batting title in 1st season) and my bullpen is stuffed full of good arms that i need to thin out before ST ends.
This season my rotation consists of tijaun walker who i aquired reasonably from arizona and a 15mil/yr guy that came to the mlb from japan. 55/55/60 my preferred type of "affordable" starter that didnt cost any compensation. The rest are 1/2 - 2 star starters. 6 guys going for 3-4 rotation spots. What ive done in the past while using tampa is find a starter a team has given an affordable extension to and work on a trade with them. If i feel i can compete for the playoffs i will toss in 1st 2nd 3rd round picks and a few reasonable prospects. The ai likes those higher picks and sometimes values them higher than i would if im picking in the 20s. Again theres never a gaurentee that a guy will perform as well for me as he has in the past. Risk vs reward
I have not had a great time developing top of the rotation arms in the past. Mostly just batters but many times at the same position that ill try and trade for better pitching
