The San Francisco Giants need pitching. Everybody knows it. While the bullpen will, correctly, draw the most attention, the rotation might actually be more important — again. It seems that every year since Kevin Gausman was kicked to the curb…

Bryan Murphy analyzes potential free-agent starting pitchers for the San Francisco Giants following a 65-win season. The article evaluates high-end targets, veterans, and reclamation projects, arguing that the front office will likely avoid expensive, long-term commitments like Tarik Skubal or Freddy Peralta.

The piece highlights several categories of free agents, including veterans such as Kevin Gausman, Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt, and Martín Pérez. Murphy also evaluates experienced pitchers with over 1,000 career innings, examining bounce-back candidates like Zac Gallen, Erick Fedde, and Jack Flaherty while expressing skepticism regarding high-risk reclamation projects.
