Projected Rotation
RHP Logan Webb
LHP Robbie Ray
RHP Tyler Mahle
RHP Adrian Houser
RHP Landen Roupp
Even after signing Tyler Mahle (1/$10M) and Adrian Houser (2/$22M) to shore up the rotation, the Giants still have Landen Roupp (22 GS, 3.80 ERA, 1.48 WHIP) and Hayden Birdsong (21 G, 10 GS, 4.80 ERA, 1.49 WHIP) as the leading candidates to compete for the final rotation spot. There is some low-cost upside in that duo, but if the Giants want to make any headway in the NL West race, they might be better utilized as depth.
The Giants have been linked to Gallen as recently as late January by Jim Bowden of The Athletic, and it would be a great landing spot for both team and player. He would not need to be more than a quality No. 3 starter to be an upgrade for the Giants, and a pitcher-friendly park could be a nice assist in rebuilding his value.
