Giants Consider Trades and Free Agent Moves

The San Francisco Giants are entering the offseason under new leadership with Buster Posey as president of baseball operations, facing several key decisions. One major focus is addressing the team's pitching needs, especially with free agent Blake Snell, a top pitcher, potentially leaving after a standout second half of the season. The Giants are also considering acquiring free agent ace Max Fried, who could be a cost-effective replacement for Snell. Meanwhile, the Giants are exploring trade options, possibly involving veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski, whose future with the team is uncertain as they look to develop younger talent. Additionally, the Giants are protecting promising pitchers Carson Seymour and Carson Ragsdale from the Rule 5 Draft, indicating a focus on bolstering their pitching depth.
