I would be happy with Haren and Marcum added to the rotation both may not posses the stuff they once had but are veterans who know how to pitch and overcome drop in velocity with smart pitching. They would bring stability to the rotation.
You will need to overpay for Haren but if you go 2 yrs @ 14 and 3rd @ 15 if he has pitched 400 innings over the previous 2 years
Marcum 2yrs @15 total 7.5 per year
You go into a 4 game series with morrow, Haren ,Romero, marcum you may not have an ace but 4 guys with the ability to win every time out. Throw Happ at 5 and a decent rotation it is
Maybe you can flip Escobar for Jason Kubel. Arizona needs to move an OF and need an SS. Kubel provides that LH power bat to hit 5 behind EE and fill LF
Those 3 moves allows the kids like Gose and Sierra get more time in Buffalo and better to see them in a better league than Vegas
Signing Haren and Marcum allow Hutch and Drabek both to go back to AAA and get 1.5 years of rehab in AAA and be ready to come back strong and with innings under their belt to avoid the Strausberg shutdown
All that is left is to deal for a 2b and DH to fill
