Breaking down which players the Giants could target this offseason

  • November 21, 2025

The Giants’ top targets this offseason are pitchers, and there are no shortage of intriguing arms available through free agency and trades.

While team chairman Greg Johnson warned the Giants will “be very cautious” about handing out nine-figure deals to pitchers, highly touted Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai could be a strong fit to join Logan Webb in the rotation. Additionally, future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer — who started Game 7 of the World Series for the Blue Jays — is a free-agent and has a longstanding friendship with Vitello dating back to their days at the University of Missouri.
