In need of different pitchers

My starting pitching has gone from a tenuous situation a few weeks ago to an outright disaster. Cobb is still out, Straily is in AAA, Hutch and Masterson are struggling on and off, and Kuroda is finally old. And Pineda is an asshole. So I'm looking to improve in that region. I'm not sure how, because I'm not exactly full of depth elsewhere, but if anyone is looking to add a catcher (Pinto or Castro), wants to buy low on a SP, or wants to take on an injured player (of which I have many!), I'm open to ideas.

Looking to make a 2:1 or 3:2 deal

Within the next couple of weeks, my 4 DL eligible players will be activated, which will unsurprisingly lead to a bit of a roster crunch. In order to alleviate this, I'm looking to make a 2:1 or 3:2 deal with an eye towards improving my starting pitching.

Everyone is on the table, but I think my corner infield depth is probably the strongest (Teixeira, Smoak, Donaldson, Seager, Santana, and Victor Martinez once he plays 2 more games at 1B).

I'm also willing to deal some of my injured players, who should be coming back soon:
Eaton - this Sunday (about to go on minor league rehab)
Paxton - end of May (throwing 3rd bullpen session on Weds)
Sabathia - end of May (minimum DL stint expected, had fluid removed from knee)
Hamilton - end of May/early June (taking BP)

Let me know if you think we match up somewhere.

Pujols on the block

I'm staring down a roster with tons of holes, so I'm looking to make some sort of 2:1 deal. Albert Pujols seems to be a good place to start, but I'm also open trading Reyes, McCann, or Verlander/Sale. Let me know if you have depth and are looking to upgrade a starting spot.

A post related to baseball IRL

I got home from work tonight and saw that Pujols had hit his 499th HR in the first inning. Went back out and drove to the ballpark, bought a $5 ticket and got here JUST in time to see him hit #500 (from quite far away, as you can see). Woot!

Looking to trade an outfielder or closer

I'd like to try and trade from my outfield depth for either an offensive upgrade or a starting pitcher. I'd be most interested in trading Rasmus, Markakis, Nava, or Colabello. I am also open to offering Brantley or Martin, but would need significantly more value in return.

I'm also interested in trading away one of my 3 closers for a starting pitcher. I am most interested in trading Axford and am pretty apprehensive about trading Rodney or Balfour, although I recognize that I could get a much better return for Rodney or Balfour.

I'm pretty satisfied with my team right now and am just looking to tweak it a bit, so I'm not in any big rush. Just trying to give people some ideas. So, if you are in need of saves and/or some outfield depth and think we match up, let me know.

Looking to trade an injured player for an OF

I've had a rough run of injuries and I'm burning up most of my bench spots with DL players. I'd rather not cut them, since I think they have value, but I'm also in a bit of bind in terms of fielding a starting lineup. Let me know if you're interested in waiting out any of these guys' return:

Hamilton - out 6-8 weeks because he slid into fucking first base, torn thumb ligaments
James Paxton - out 2 weeks with a strained lat
Nate Jones - hip injury, TBD
Mark Teixeira - out until mid-late April with a hamstring injury (Grade 1 - mildest)
AJ Griffin - shoulder weakness, out until ~mid May
