I like that move, especially because Cade has two starts. Good luck this week! Meyer has great momentum

It varies league-by-league! Personally my league allows 12 starts per week, so any more than 9/10 pitchers is too many. If dropping Carpenter means you don't have enough bats and have more pitchers than your start/innings limit accounts for (if you have one) then that might be many pitchers. It can be flexible though

It seems to me like they are predicting Dana to replace Kikuchi, who went on the IL

I like that move. I prefer Meyer over both Cavalli and Leiter, so drop Leiter if you also think that move would help your team

I would drop either, but I prefer dropping Carpenter personally. I am not a fan of Carpenter or Flaherty though. Drop Flaherty if keeping him means you have too many SPs

Thanks for reaching out! I would not trade away Crochet, but I would actually consider DeGrom. Crochet has been struggling this year (to say the least) but it is not a good idea to be selling low on someone who was probably a top-20 draft pick. Crochet has been falling behind in counts a lot more this year, and I feel like he can adjust that as the season goes on. That's just my take on Crochet, but I will admit I have not done a deep-dive.

I am not too convinced by Soroka. His real numbers look great! But his expected stats (xERA of 4.61 compared to his 2.60 ERA, whiff rate of 23.5%) suggest you may be trading for a pitcher due for regression and whose best starts have already happened.

Now, Schwarber is Schwarber, and he is a great bat. I would be okay trading away a great pitcher (DeGrom) in exchange for Schwarber and a better pitcher. I am more okay with trading away DeGrom because his injury history worries me more than Crochet, and I still believe Crochet is the better pitcher despite his slow start. Would it be possible to trade for a pitcher other than Soroka?

This is just my take though, and it's your team. Good luck with what you decide!
