The San Francisco Giants have a 44.4% chance to reach the playoffs, needing roster stability over the next 65 games. Performance from key players matching career norms could help, but the rotation lacks depth. As the trade deadline nears, acquiring an additional starter is imperative. Buster Posey dismissed the idea of limiting innings for pitchers Landen Roupp and Hayden Birdsong due to potential mental disadvantages. Despite concerns about their previous fatigue, the team faces challenges in finding an affordable and effective starter to bolster their chances.
"I think it's a disservice to the player to say, 'OK, this is how many innings you're going to throw this year, this is your marker.'"
"You can never have enough pitching. The cost to acquire a starter can be steep."
