He said the team needs a frontline starting pitcher, but then immediately added the team probably can't afford one in free agency nor does he want to give up the young players it would take to trade for one. Stewart wasn't telling people what they wanted to hear when he said that — or when he said he didn't envision a great deal of turnover on the roster — but he might have been charting a course that makes the most sense given the Diamondbacks' circumstances.
