I haven't gone through the entire thread so I apologize if I echo any thoughts already shared. From the front office's perspective, I feel they wanted to make sure they didn't overreact to the Jimmy Nelson injury. If we look at the team's progression to 2019, Nelson, Anderson, Davies, Chacin, Woodruff, Burnes, Peralta, and Ortiz would all appear to be viable candidates to battle for the five rotations spots. The goal obviously isn't to throw away 2018, but balance also must be found by not over-investing to help save face for 2018, either. Miley, Guerra, Suter, and Woodruff may not be the greatest collection of talent for two rotations spots, but they have all shown something in the past. If the season progresses and the team needs a top-of-the-rotation guy to compete, which Cobb is not, then they still have financial flexibility to add on any sort of player salary-wise.

Miley is solidifying his spot on this team...faced the minimum over three innings, no hits, 4 k's

Eduardo Rodriguez had a decent 2017 and doesn’t become a free agent until 2022. He’s a player I would love to receive in a deal for Domingo.

Cobb would slot in as our number two starter to begin the year, and as long as cost is reasonable (4 years, $56 million tops), you take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade your rotation to this degree.
