Should Giants target Morejón? Gausman? Five free agent pitchers who could fit
With the CBA expiring on Dec. 1, the San Francisco Giants will have roughly a month before the expected lockout to address some of their shortcomings via the free-agent market.
San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey has admitted that the team's bullpen needs improvement. The team, which lost 97 games last season, will have a month to address this issue before the lockout after the World Series. Five free agents who could potentially fit the Giants' needs are Adrian Morejón, Clay Holmes, Kevin Gausman, Robbie Ray, and Sonny Gray.
Morejón, a 27-year-old Padres reliever, has a 1.23 ERA at Oracle Park and may not command a closer's salary. Holmes, a 33-year-old ground-ball pitcher, is expected to opt out of his Cubs deal and can play both starting and closing roles. Gausman, a 35-year-old former Giants starter, has a .216 average allowed at Oracle. Ray, Robbie Ray, and Sonny Gray are also potential options for the Giants.
