The San Francisco Giants must do this when the lockout ends. They got a lot of their offseason work done prior to the lockout, but there's still much work to do. Their starting rotation, while solid, is thinned out with the loss of Kevin Gausman to the Blue Jays. Logan Webb, followed by Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, and Alex Cobb, features four quality starters, but Ben believes they need to add another starter who is a clear upgrade over Tyler Beede, who's out of Minor League options and currently projects as the fifth starter. Carlos Rodón, Clayton Kershaw, Sonny Gray, Luis Castillo, Tyler Mahle, Sean Manaea, Chris Bassitt, and Frankie Montas are the names Ben is looking at.
On the position player side, the Giants must add at least one significant piece, Ben believes. Buster Posey has retired and Kris Bryant is a free agent. Seiya Suzuki, Bryant, Tommy Pham, Nick Castellanos, and Michael Conforto are among the names Ben is circling. Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi even said in November that a right-handed hitter with good at-bat quality and power fits their team, but as of yet they have not addressed it.
