Not seeing much of a fit for the Giants. Bradish (while I do like him) has an extremely bloated 5/$90MM that's only just starting in 2027. Baz has 4/$66.2MM left. Helsley is a 1/$14MM potential closer, but missed most of last year with an elbow injury. Maybe Cowser to play CF?

Players predicted by at least one writer to land with Giants
21. Imanaga, 2/$40M
38. Iglesias, 1/$17MM
42. Okert, 2/$14MM
49. Ward, 1/$12MM
Giants aren't being seen as a team that could make a splash like in previous years.
Giants have 6 pitchers on their 40-man roster in the rehab process:
Randy Rodríguez (pitching in AFL)
Rowan Wick
Hayden Birdsong
Trevor McDonald
Carson Whisenhunt
Blade Tidwell
Wick’s option was for the league minimum, but declining his option kicks him to arbitration. They’ll have decisions to make on him, Walker, and Hentges primarily in a couple of weeks.
The #SFGiants made the following additional roster moves today:
• LHP Reiver Sanmartín designated for assignment.
• RHP Rowan Wick had his club option declined for the 2027 season. He remains under team control.
Yes and no. He has a 1.3 HR/9 over the last two years with a career mark at 0.88. But on a pitch level data, he still held batters to a .194 xBA and saw his K-rate rebound. Fwiw, his ERA has far out-performed his FIP and xFIP over the last eight years
If the Giants want to get their proven closer at a relatively decent cost, Kenley Jansen makes a lotta sense. They were linked to him in 2022.
Was doing a cursory scan of what FA pitchers could exceed GenPub expectations. Most of these guys are without a QO: Skubal, May, Gray, Griffin
Rogers got one. Holmes missed too much time to get 2 WAR. Severino opted in.

Today, the Yankees have extended a qualifying offer to RHP David Bednar.
Additionally, the Yankees have added INF/OF Marco Luciano to the 40-man roster.
The general rule for tendering QOs is that you do it if it is likely that the player could receive a $50MM or greater contract. So whatever 3/$39MM deal you thought Morejon was getting can be thrown out the window (he’s likely getting 3x that money)
Unsurprisingly, Giants would have to give up substantial compensation to acquire the top-of-market closer in Bednar. Also true for Adrian Morejon, if teams don’t see him as a starter.
After this wave, the Giants' 40-man roster is down to 41. They still have not announced a decision on Rowan Wick's club option.
The #SFGiants made the following roster moves today:
• RHP José Buttó claimed off waivers by Texas.
• RHP Duncan Davitt claimed off waivers by Cincinnati.
• IF Brett Harris and IF Shay Whitcomb claimed off waivers by Philadelphia.
• C Zach Morgan claimed off waivers by Baltimore.
• RHP Joel Kuhnel and LHP Seth Lonsway cleared waivers and were outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento.
• RHP Tristan Beck placed on unconditional release waivers.

The #Reds today claimed off waivers RHP Duncan Davitt from the Giants and RHP Paxton Schultz from the Nationals.
