## Resource

The Padres’ starting pitching is in freefall, with multiple arms failing to go deep into games and leaking runs — even when they hold big leads. Veteran arms like Randy Vasquez and Michael King are inconsistent, while Griffin Canning and JP Sears are struggling mightily. Even Walker Buehler, their best option, had a rough outing. With key starters like Pivetta and Musgrove still sidelined and late offseason pickups underperforming, the team’s rotation is in crisis. If they can’t stabilize it soon, expect a fire sale before the trade deadline — a painful reality for a high-payroll squad. A league-average rotation might be their only path to playoff contention.
