Giants Predicted to Sign Cubs All-Star Pitcher in Free Agency
The San Francisco Giants are being predicted to sign Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga in free agency this offseason.
The San Francisco Giants, after offloading pitchers such as Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle before the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, are reportedly being eyed as a possible destination for Chicago Cubs' starting pitcher Shota Imanaga, according to a recent article by Christopher Kline for FanSided. Kline suggests that the Giants could secure Imanaga's services, hinting at a possible reunion with Buster Posey, who has been known to utilize his influence in free-agent negotiations.
Imanaga, a five-foot-ten left-handed hurler, has a 8-9 record, a 3.60 ERA, and 125 strikeouts in 23 appearances this season with the Cubs. He was an All-Star in 2024, posting a 15-3 record, a 2.91 ERA, and 174 strikeouts. Given his impressive statistics, signing Imanaga could bolster the Giants' pitching rotation for the upcoming season.
