Since Martin is also a multi-positional threat, the Jays might try to develop him as a center fielder if Kim is signed to bolster the infield picture. He broke out as a solid rotation arm as a 25-year-old for the Orioles in 2016, beginning a three-year run of quality rWAR production of 3.9, 2.0, 3.9, the last of which he earned while splitting his time between Baltimore and Atlanta. The right-hander pitched to a 3.62 ERA/3.09 FIP across 59.2 innings this past season. Predictive player evaluation models, of course, assume a range of potential outcomes, making for a murkier process than the one described above. By Anthony Franco | November 1, 2020 at 10:30pm CDT. After missing out on Gausman, however, the Jays are clear about their desire to acquire someone else to fill out their rotation. Acquiring Kevin Gausman could give the Cubs the pitching depth they need. Though Richards comes from a different pool of free agents than Gausman – meaning free agents unburdened by a qualifying offer – there’s still no indication that Toronto has moved beyond those initial meet-and-greet level of courtship with Richards. If his arm remains attached for another six weeks heâs likely to have successfully done so. By Mark Brown Jul 30, 2019, 10:00am EDT Reds acquire Kevin Gausman off waivers; Braves recall 2018 All-Star Mike Foltynewicz to fill out rotation Gausman, a 2018 trade deadline pickup, posted a 6.19 ERA for Atlanta this season In a dream world, maybe both would turn into strong members of the rotation or bullpen and allow Zaidi to deal for another Mauricio Dubon at the deadline. The Giants flexed their newfound payroll flexibility in their trade with the Angels, as they assumed the remaining $12.7 million on Cozart's contract to land Wilson, a 21-year-old shortstop who was the 15th overall Draft pick out of North Carolina State this year. The Braves have a acquired right-hander Kevin Gausman from the Orioles in a six-player trade. We’ll turn things over to the readership with a pair of questions: should Gausman take the qualifying offer, and will he do so? After being traded from the Baltimore Orioles at last Julyâs trade deadline, it seemed as if Kevin Gausman found new life in an Atlanta Braves uniform. The Jays are known to have made a three-year, $40MM offer to Kevin Gausman, according to the Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Kevin Gausman MLBTR Originals MLBTR Polls San Francisco Giants, By Connor Byrne | November 2, 2020 at 4:22pm CDT. Zaidi said Cozart has resumed swinging a bat but still has a "ways to go" in his rehab. Looking ahead for the Giants, they now have Gausman, Johnny Cueto, and Logan Webb likely holding down spots in their rotation, with Tyler Anderson and Tyler Beede rehabbing from injury, and prospect Sean Hjelle looking to make a run for a spot, writes Pavlovic (via Twitter). He previously played for the Baltimore Orioles, Atlanta Braves, and Cincinnati Reds. Longtime major league lefty and former Giant Dave Righetti is out after 21 years as an assistant. Realmuto Kevin Gausman Marcus Stroman New York Mets New York Yankees Newsstand Philadelphia Phillies San Francisco Giants Trevor Bauer, By Anthony Franco | November 1, 2020 at 3:47pm CDT. Should he accept, heâll return to San Francisco on a one-year, $18.9MM deal. The narrative was an easy one to build as the Giants shopped the bargain bin in the offseason. Thanks to Kevin Gausman’s enormous rebound effort in San Francisco this year, the Giants decided over the weekend to issue the free-agent right-hander an $18.9MM qualifying offer. Does the former Oriole make sense as rotation depth for an ailing Yankees team? By Connor Byrne| December 10, 2019at 4:43pm CDT. As noted on the podcast, many conversations happen during the courtship process and only some actually end in contract offers. Or perhaps Drew Smyly would be his next Pomeranz. Share this article 331 shares share tweet text email link Ted Berg. The San Francisco Giants may be actively shopping several players ahead of the August 31st trade deadline, and that includes pitcher Kevin Gausman who has looked solid in his last few starts. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said the Giants considered drafting Wilson with the 10th overall pick in June, though they ultimately used their first-round selection to snag Arizona State outfielder Hunter Bishop. However, the Giants are also interested in re-signing Gausman to a multiyear contract, according to Baggarly. Two minutes later, they announced a one-year, $9 million deal with right-hander Kevin Gausman. New Braves right-handed Kevin Gausman reacts to being traded to Atlanta and joining multiple former Orioles at "Baltimore South." The trade isnât bearing much fruit yet. In terms of their process for free agents like Gausman with qualifying offers attached (J.T. In effect, it’s hard to know where exactly Toronto’s dollar value began with Gausman, only roughly where it maxed out. San Francisco acquired veteran infielder Zack Cozart and 2019 first-round Draft pick Will Wilson from the Angels in exchange for a player to be named or cash considerations. Besides, the offseason is just beginning. Gausman truly was among the game’s elite at fooling opposing hitters. A multi-year deal might be in the cards. The 32-year-old not only brings a top-of-the-line bat, but he’s a versatile defensive player who would fit on most any roster. If the Blue Jays did sign Realmuto, it’s fair to assume the Jays would shop at least one of their in-house catchers to other teams. Below Gausman was Scherzer, Yu and, well, everyone else, but some huge names. The Baltimore Orioles traded right-handed starter Kevin Gausman and reliever Darren OâDay to the Atlanta Braves today. Team and player remain in contact regarding a potential multi-year deal, Baggarly adds, making the move unsurprising. Gausman is projected to slot behind veterans Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija in the Giants' rotation next season, though Zaidi said he's still having discussions with other free-agent starters, including left-hander Madison Bumgarner. Garrett Richards Kevin Gausman Toronto Blue Jays, By Mark Polishuk | November 24, 2020 at 2:24pm CDT. Two minutes later, they announced a one-year, $9 million deal with right-hander Kevin Gausman. Gausman looked like a solid rebound candidate when San Francisco inked him to a buy-low, one-year contract last offseason. As for the rest of this year’s qualifying offer crop, MLB Insider Jon Heyman suggested on his Big Time Baseball podcast that Kevin Gausman is the only relative sure thing to accept his offer from the Giants. Rejecting the qualifying offer might pave the way for multi-year offers from other clubs, though. Now, it turns out he barely lasted a year with the Braves. Next offseason might still have COVID-19 effects, and there’ll be anticipated labor uncertainty with the scheduled expiration of the collective bargaining agreement in December 2021 (although it’s possible MLB and the MLBPA broker a short-term CBA extension in the wake of the pandemic). The Giants are among the teams to have made a multi-year offer, Rosenthal adds. Each of that group will certainly reject the offer. That seems unlikely, given his position as perhaps the top starting pitcher on the market, but a decision will be made by tomorrow evening. He will accept that offer this evening, per MLB Insider Jeff Passan (via Twitter). Kevin Gausman has until November 11 to decide whether to accept the qualifying offer he was issued by the Giants. The Brewers have been interested in Gausman for some time, believing his talent exceeds his basic stat line. While Gausman won’t do nearly as well as Bauer this winter, a deal in the three-year, $40MM to four-year, $50MM range isn’t out of the question, Baggarly notes. Should Gausman deliver another good season in 2021 and then return to the free agent market next winter, he’ll surely receive offers beyond the two years and $21.1MM he left on the table to accept the Giants’ qualifying offer. Realmuto, George Springer, DJ LeMahieu, Trevor Bauer), the Jays have a fairly specified process, per the same podcast as above. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that Gausman has already received multi-year offers and is weighing those against the QO. To take any valuation of a player as gospel is unrealistic. Gausman has already given the Giants plenty of bang for their buck since they signed him to a $9MM guarantee last December. In what may go down as his only year as a Giant, he provided the club 59 2/3 innings of 3.62 ERA ball with the National League’s seventh-best K/BB ratio (4.94; 11.92 K/9 against 2.41 BB/9) and its ninth-ranked FIP (3.09). While possibilities abound on the position player side, pitching is Toronto’s chief focus this winter, so it isn’t surprising that they made an early pitch for Gausman. Indeed, the Giants do have him ranked as the No. Kevin Gausman would be the next Drew Pomeranz for president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi. This leaves teams feeling like they're realistically out of options. The Giants flexed their newfound payroll flexibility in their trade with the Angels, as they assumed the remaining $12.7 million on Cozart's contract to land Wilson, a 21-year-old shortstop who was the 15th overall Draft pick out of North Carolina State this year. Gausman was already among the market’s more appealing free-agent starters, and one of the names alongside him in the second tier (behind Trevor Bauer) is now off the board. SAN DIEGO -- The Giants struck a balance between addressing their needs for the present and the future on Tuesday, completing a trade and a free-agent signing that brought three new players into the organization on Day 2 of the Winter Meetings. Our plan right now is to just kind of help him in his rehab and bring him along. The SF Giants find themselves in a similar position to ⦠He got elite results on both the fastball and his signature splitter. The Baltimore Orioles' selloff accelerated on Tuesday, with a trade of perhaps their most valuable -- or undervalued, depending on your perspective -- asset, Kevin Gausman, who has ⦠The 32-year-old posted a 4.03 ERA/4.28 FIP across 51 1/3 innings with San Diego last season, presumably showing enough in his full-speed return from Tommy John to prove that he’s back to full strength. By TC Zencka | November 28, 2020 at 2:07pm CDT. It's unclear if Cozart will fit into the Giants' plans for 2020, as they already have two other right-handed hitters -- Mauricio Dubon and Evan Longoria -- in their infield mix. What would a trade look like? 2 option available, trailing only ace Trevor Bauer, per Baggarly. The Kevin Gausman trade might have hurt Orioles fans last year. It should be emphasized that Gausman needn’t make a final decision on a multi-year contract today. The Giants flexed their newfound payroll flexibility in their trade with the Angels, as they assumed the remaining $12.7 million on Cozart's contract to land Wilson, a 21-year-old shortstop who was the 15th overall Draft pick out of North Carolina State this year. If the hard-throwing Gausman’s breakout continues, a contract along those lines could be a bargain. According to Zaidi, “, While Zaidi’s first two years running the Giants’ front office have been defined by his many acquisitions of rather unheralded or under-the-radar players, the team is looking to expand that scope this winter. Granted, in a literal sense, that is exactly the free agent process – winning a free agent bid means signing those players for whom the Jays are willing to pay more than everybody else. The Blue Jays (and the 29 other MLB teams) will get their first chance to directly speak with Kim after his 30-day negotiating window opens on November 26. In terms of defense, even from a metric standpoint, he played an above-average shortstop in college. MLB trade deadline: Kevin Gausman, Dylan Bundy could be great change-of-scenery targets For the good of their careers, two Orioles starters should want to be traded By Matt Snyder The Orioles selected him in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft. The six players issued a qualifying offer is down from last offseason’s ten, which isn’t much of a surprise since this winter is expected to be particularly tough for players in the wake of teams’ pandemic-driven revenue losses. MLBTR’s list of the offseason’s top 50 free agents had Brantley and Turner right next to each other in the No. Some notable highlights…, Alexander Canario Austin Slater Brandon Belt Farhan Zaidi Heliot Ramos Kevin Gausman Notes San Francisco Giants, By TC Zencka | November 11, 2020 at 3:57pm CDT. Health provided, he can really help us next year.". Get advice on your decision to trade Kevin Gausman for Kwang Hyun Kim. In our top 50 free agents list, the MLBTR staff predicted Gausman would indeed accept the qualifying offer. Gausman would be one year older next offseason obviously, but he’ll only turn 30 in January 2021. One year ago tomorrow, the Orioles traded Kevin Gausman and Darren OâDay to the Braves. He's been a starter his whole career and that's obviously a need of ours, too.". Guerrero has been vocal about wanting to play third base again, so conceivably the Jays could find room for Brantley without a trade, but it doesn’t seem too likely that the team would install Guerrero as a full-time option at the hot corner. Gausman finished tenth overall in strikeout minus walk rate and seventh in swinging strike rate. As the trade deadline is rapidly approaching, the Cubs find themselves atop of the NL Central. That’s not a head-spinning development, as Toronto is largely expected to kick the tires on most of the top names in the free agent pool. It’s possible he and his representatives will take that lofty single-year salary, then, although they’ll have ten days to weigh the market before making a decision. Of course, teams aren’t solely factoring in a player’s performance in his platform year. Kevin Gausmanâs SwStr% was top 7 with 15.2%, about the same as Luis Castillo and, you guessed it, Gerrit Cole. The deadline to make a decision is tomorrow at 5 ET. Heâs a free agent at the end of the year and is purely a rental. One name that has come up in recent weeks: Right-hander Kevin Gausman. Kevin Gausman signed a 1 year / $18,900,000 contract with the San Francisco Giants, including $18,900,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $18,900,000. If he rejects, he could still take the coming days, weeks or even months to explore the market in hopes of securing a larger multi-year offer than the ones he has already received. That turned out to be the case. DJ LeMahieu Free Agent Market Kevin Gausman Marcus Stroman New York Yankees, By Anthony Franco | November 8, 2020 at 11:47am CDT. The Giants have signed right-hander Kevin Gausman, Andrew Baggarly of The Athleticwas among those to ⦠By Mark Brown Aug 5, 2019, 1:51pm EDT If neither the Mets nor Giants work out longer-term deals for their hurlers, Gausman and Stroman would enter free agency without the extra burden of a qualifying offer at the end of next season. Realmuto, according to Sports Grid’s Craig Mish (Twitter link). Cozart, 34, hit only .124 over 38 games for the Angels this year and missed the bulk of the season after undergoing left shoulder surgery, but he was an All-Star in 2017 and played all over the infield when healthy in Anaheim. Toronto already has Lourdes Gurriel Jr. in left field and a Vladimir Guerrero Jr./Rowdy Tellez tandem penciled in for the first base and DH roles, so a Brantley signing would to hint that a trade could be in the offing. Between his swing-and-miss stuff, youth (30 in January) and mid-90’s velocity, Gausman now looks like one of the best pitchers on the upcoming free agent market. Realmuto Justin Turner Kevin Gausman Los Angeles Dodgers Michael Brantley San Francisco Giants Toronto Blue Jays, By Mark Polishuk | November 21, 2020 at 12:01pm CDT, Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi discussed several topics with reporters (including the San Francisco Chronicle’s John Shea and NBC Sports Bay Area’s Alex Pavlovic) earlier this week. Turner just celebrated his 36th birthday yesterday and, like Brantley, continues to swing a powerful bat into his 30’s. The 27-year-old-old has a 4.54 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP in 117 innings this season. The claim means that Gausman is now a member of the Reds, who by claiming him are agreeing to take on the remainder of the right-handerâs $9.35MM salary â a ⦠The fact that Stroman is no longer on the market is surely a notable factor. And with that rebuilt value, surveying the landscape of 30 MLB teams, it seems logical that heâd pursue a more competitive environment. If Gausman were to receive three-year offers in the $13-15MM range, for instance, that could certainly prompt him to forgo the heftier one-year payday. Marcus Stroman accepted his offer from the Mets today, choosing to take the large one-year contract to play out the beginning of the Steve Cohen tenure in New York. Before his professional career, Gausman attended Louisiana State University and played college baseball for the LSU Tigers. That may not be a group set to take down the juggernaut Dodgers, but it’s certainly better with Gausman than without him. The only players Toronto could ever expect to sign would be ones they rate higher than the market norms (or those that could be convinced with supplemental appeals, such as culture, the tax situation in Canada, or the quality of the roster). If he pitches well, he could end up becoming a trade chip at the 2020 Trade Deadline. Adding Kim might also made it more feasible for the Jays to trade one of their top infield prospects, with Jordan Groshans, Miguel Hiraldo, or Orelvis Martinez probably more likely to be moved than 2020 fifth-overall pick Austin Martin. Anthopoulos never grew interested in what the Rays were seeking for Chris Archer, but he managed to gain a controllable starting pitcher on Tuesday by acquiring Kevin Gausman and veteran reliever Darren O'Day from the Orioles in exchange for infielder Jean Carlos Encarnacion, right-handed reliever Evan Phillips, catcher Brett Cumberland, left-hander Bruce Zimmerman and $2.5 million in ⦠His contract guarantees him slightly below the $10.6 million MLB Trade Rumors projected him to earn through arbitration. As Zaidi said with some humor, “, In other injury updates, Zaidi said star prospect. From the top seven in Swinging Strike rate, Gausman had the best Zone% by far. The alternative, of course, is to take that $18.9MM sum, hope to bolster his stock with another strong year and return to free agency next winter without the burden of a qualifying offer; players can only receive one qualifying offer in their career, under the terms of the current collective bargaining agreement. Six players will be extended qualifying offers this winter, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com (Twitter link). Ha-Seong Kim J.T. Brantley turned 34 in May and is seemingly less of a positional need for the Jays since he has exclusively played as a left fielder or DH over the last five seasons. The SF Giants have reportedly been contacted by the Yankees about a trade for Kevin Gausman. Dunston had a long big league career as an infielder/outfielder and spent four seasons with the Giants. He's a very skilled player on the defensive side of the ball. Going beyond only established big leaguers, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reports that the Jays have interest in Korean shortstop Ha-Seong Kim, noting that Toronto has “evaluated him closely.”. Bauer, LeMahieu, Realmuto and Springer were all easy calls for their respective teams. Kevin Gausman Weighing Multi-Year Offers - MLB Trade Rumors. While Kim could play third base immediately, he is also a well-regarded defensive shortstop, so the Blue Jays could experiment with trying Kim at short and moving current shortstop Bo Bichette to second or third base (with Cavan Biggio playing the other position). While Marcus Stroman’s decision to accept the Mets’ QO led to natural speculation that Gausman would take the same route — both are represented by agent Brodie Scoffield — Gausman isn’t a lock to do so. Wilson, who is now ranked the club's No. Those players are: None of the players issued the QO comes as a particular surprise. 2:24PM: Toronto also has interest in J.T. Asked if he expects Cozart to be on the 40-man roster come Spring Training, Zaidi said, "I don't want to speculate on that. "The plan is for him to start," Zaidi said. Gausman and his representatives have surely been gauging the market the past few days to shape their decision. A return to Los Angeles is certainly possible, however, as Rosenthal writes that Turner “still appears to be [the Dodgers’] first choice” in terms of infield additions, though they perhaps couldn’t be ruled out as a potential suitor for LeMahieu. 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline, batted .275 with a .768 OPS and five home runs over 46 games at Rookie-level Orem in his first professional season. Gausman’s less consistent track record could lead to some trepidation on teams’ parts, particularly since signing him would cost them draft compensation at the very least. Free-agent righty Kevin Gausman has until 5pm ET today to decide whether he plans to accept the Giants’ $18.9MM qualifying offer or reject it in favor of fully testing free agency. ⦠He parlayed that deal into a $18.9MM contract for 2021 via 59 2/3 innings with a 3.62 ERA/3.09 FIP. Names like Robbie Ray and German Marquez are interesting, but both teams are in playoff mode, so they likely won't deal starting pitchers. More notable are the series of players who were not issued a QO. Gausman struggled mightily through 16 starts with the Braves to open 2019 (3-7, 6.19 ERA, -0.9 rWAR), but righted the ship with a 4.03 ERA over 22 1/3 innings out of the Reds bullpen. The CBA prohibits players from being offered multiple qualifying offers in their careers, so Gausman will never have to wrestle with this decision again, no matter what he decides in the coming days. As of early today, Kevin Gausman was weighing multiple multi-year offers against the one-year, $18.9MM qualifying offer he could accept from the Giants.

But Gausman’s only a year removed from being non-tendered by the Reds in a much more favorable economic situation. Kim ranked seventh on the list due to his younger age (25), projected for a five-year, $40MM deal and another $7.625MM in a posting fee to the KBO League’s Kiwoom Heroes. Two minutes later, they announced a one-year, $9 million deal with right-hander Kevin Gausman. All he’s required to do by this afternoon is simply accept or reject the qualifying offer. Braves manager Brian Snitker applauded the recent trades made by GM Alex Anthopoulos, including Tuesday's deal with Baltimore that landed Atlanta starters Kevin Gausman and Darren O'Day. I think he definitely stays in the middle of the infield. Furthermore, putting the onus of the lost draft pick on the player largely neglects the competitive aspect of free agency. He’d still be young enough to secure a lofty multi-year deal if he accepts the qualifying offer, then backs up 2020 with another strong season. Gausman’s had an up-and-down career to this point. Kevin Gausman Newsstand San Francisco Giants Transactions, By Steve Adams | November 11, 2020 at 10:44am CDT. 12:32PM: For the second straight offseason, the Blue Jays are checking in on a wide range of free agent options. There’s a case to be made for Gausman as the second-best starter on the open market. The team has officially announced the decision. Cozart, if healthy after missing ⦠Kevin Gausman Newsstand San Francisco Giants, By TC Zencka | November 10, 2020 at 10:24pm CDT. The Giants are planning to issue an $18.9MM qualifying offer to right-hander Kevin Gausman, reports Andrew Baggarly of the Athletic (Twitter link). Realmuto declined their qualifying offers, per MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand (via Twitter), though there was little doubt for any of the four. "For us to get a guy that we were considering with our first-round pick last year, it's a pretty exciting opportunity for us.". Kevin John Gausman is an American professional baseball pitcher for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball. The club has already been linked to George Springer and DJ LeMahieu, and now The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal (subscription required) adds that Toronto has spoken with representatives for Michael Brantley and Justin Turner, and the Jays also made an offer to Kevin Gausman before Gausman accepted the Giants’ one-year, $18.9MM qualifying offer. That wouldn’t foreclose the possibility of a multi-year extension with San Francisco, just as José Abreu and the White Sox brokered a three-year contract after Abreu accepted Chicago’s QO last winter. Kevin Gausman was visibly choked up, voice breaking and T-shirt doubling as a tissue to dab at his face. Cincinnati Reds DJ LeMahieu George Springer Houston Astros J.T. San Francisco also announced Tuesday it signed right-hander Kevin Gausman to a $9 million, one-year contract. His 32.2% strikeout rate ranked eleventh in baseball (minimum 50 innings pitched), topped only by Trevor Bauer’s 36% among free agents. Still, the greater point here probably comes from simply knowing Toronto’s thinking. Along with Righetti, the Giants waved goodbye to Shawon Dunston, who held coaching roles with the organization for 12 years. "Offensively, we feel like he's potentially a guy who could hit for average and power. Kevin Gausman has been dangled and traded before and understands itâs a part of the game he plays. While Turner’s positive coronavirus test during Game 6 of the World Series and subsequent post-game return to the field to celebrate with his Dodgers teammates adds an inescapably strange footnote to his career, Turner won’t face any league discipline for the breach of COVID-19 protocol. But he would prefer to not play that game this year. The players issued the qualifying offer will now have ten days to weigh their options. Heyman couldn’t quite decide on Marcus Stroman, though he at least thinks there’s a possibility that Stroman would accept. Gausman more than doubles his year-over-year salary by accepting the qualifying offer. Players who reject the offer and become free agents will cost their signing teams draft compensation (or the right to recoup draft compensation if they sign with their current team). It was enough to earn a one-year, $9MM offer with the Giants in the offseason. Price, 34, is owed $96 million over the next three years, so the Red Sox could follow the Angels' example and attempt to move him by packaging him with a younger asset. Kevin Gausman is overlooked so much. In a vacuum, that makes sense. Moreover, he’s also one of the harder-throwing starting pitchers available. Kevin Gausman has until November 11 to decide whether to accept the qualifying offer he was issued by the Giants. One function of the waiver claim is that it does get Gausmanâs money off of the Bravesâ books which, given how much salary the Braves took on at the trade deadline, is a ⦠Stroman and Gausman might’ve been tougher calls but had been reported previously. We offer recommendations from 35+ fantasy baseball experts! Beginning with the position players, Brantley, Turner, and Kim would each cost less than the likes of Springer or LeMahieu.

As for the other qualifying offers, Trevor Bauer, DJ LeMahieu, George Springer, and J.T. Yankees potential trade target: Kevin Gausman. In other Giants news, the club has made a pair of noteworthy cuts behind the scenes, Baggarly relays. Most people think of (and rightfully so) Lance Lynn when they think of a pitcher on the trade market. New, 8 comments. Gausmanâs earning roughly a third of his $9 million salary as a result of the short season. Gausman, who turns 29 in January, was non-tendered by the Reds last month after logging a 5.72 ERA over 102 1/3 innings between Atlanta and Cincinnati in 2019. The Blue Jays have expressed preliminary interest in Garrett Richards, per Ben Nicholson-Smith with Arden Zwelling on sportsnet.ca’s Blue Jays’ podcast. Given their financial resources, the Giants could also be a potential trade partner for a team like the Red Sox, who are reportedly shopping left-hander David Price in an attempt to shed payroll this offseason. Given that LeMahieu posted and MVP-type season in 2020, it’s no surprise that he’ll head to the open market seeking a multi-year deal. Above him (and them) was deGrom, Giolito, Maeda and Bieber. The two sides may continue working on a multi-year deal, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area (via Twitter), but either way he’ll be back in the Giants rotation in 2021.
