The Giants have thus far been a victim of their own success this offseason. Six weeks ago, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said he hoped to bring Kevin Gausman and Drew Smyly back after both had strong bounceback seasons, but it cost $18.9 million to lock up Gausman, and Smyly fled for the Braves, a contender willing to give him $11 million because of the promise he showed in orange and black.
Going one for two is better than at least one alternative, and the Giants believe strongly that Gausman's best days are ahead of him. But he needs plenty of help in a rotation that still has holes and lacks sizzle. Luckily, this is a great market if you're looking for flyers who could wind up as much more.
Zaidi and Scott Harris will surely add some pitchers on minor league deals later this offseason, hoping to replicate what they've done with guys like Trevor Cahill. But first they should add someone with a chance of giving them a bit more dependability.
Here are five guys who could ably fill a rotation hole if they're right.
