According to Andrew Baggerly of The Athletic, there is a growing acknowledgement within the Giants organization that they want to create more “lineup continuity” this offseason. But with a thin top of the free agent class (Ohtani, Bellinger, Chapman), the Giants could be willing to trade some of their top pitching prospects in order bring in stronger hitters. Baggerly: “If ther Giants learned anything from this week’s boat races in Arizona, they’ll need to get younger and more athletic while creating more lineup continuity to compete in the NL West for the forseeable future. It’s becoming clear to the Giants’ top decision-makers that there might be just one way to do that: trading from what they view as a largesse of young pitching.” Baggerly suggested a few different potential trade suiters that would make sense. The Reds have a surplus of infield depth (Baggerly: Kyle Harrison for Matt McClain, who says no?), the Cardinals could trade an outfielder out of desperation to get pitching (Lars Nootbaar or Jordan Walker), and Mets are in a similar position to the 2020 Red Sox with Mookie Betts (Pete Alonso). The Giants had Kyle Harrison, Keaton Winn, Tristan Beck, and Ryan Walker all debut with the Giants this year and show flashes of success. Their top pitching prospects also include Carson Whisenhunt, Mason Black, Landen Roupp, and Hayden Birdsong. Attracting big name free agents has not been a strong suit of the Giants in recent years, but they have pulled the plug on bigger trades before (Kris Bryant in 2021). The lineup needs help, and they do have a strength with their young pitching. It would be really nice to bring in someone who can slot in at the top of the lineup everyday and just mash, and if you can’t do it through free agency, then a trade may have to be the move. · · · 🏷️: #louseal #sfgiants #giants #sanfranciscogiants #lousealnews #sanfrancisco #mlb #sfgameup #baseball #baseballnews #resilientsf #majorleaguebaseball #sanfranciscogiants #farhanzaidi #madisonbumgarner #mikeyastrzemski #gabekapler #pablosandoval #busterposey #sergioromo #farhanzaidi #oraclepark #loganwebb #joeybart #jocpederson
