The San Francisco Giants are looking at other free agent starting pitchers after dropping out of the race to sign Tatsuya Imai.

Former Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen and the San Francisco Giants have reportedly talked in MLB free agency.

The Giants and left-handed pitcher Sam Hentges agreed to terms on a one-year Major League contract. Hentges (HENT-chiss), 29, missed the entire 2025 season while recovering from left capsule surgery performed in September 2024.

Giants infielder Casey Schmitt had the carpal boss removed from his left wrist, which is where he was hit with a pitch last June.

The San Francisco Giants eye two heavy-hitters, potential steal signings that could significantly shake up their offense.

The San Francisco Giants were linked to Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Katel Marte in a potential trade this offseason.

That platoon would give the Giants a much-needed boost defensively. Wiemer (+7 career outs above average) and Gilbert (+2 outs above average) are both above-average defenders, and San Francisco needs an upgrade on defense after its outfielders had the fewest outs above average (-18) in the majors last season.

The San Francisco Giants are reportedly in the market for modestly priced pitching. Perhaps that’s because they have their eye on another big bat.
