David Peterson sticks out as a potential fit just for the left-handedness and the innings. Same thing for his current Cubs teammate Imanaga.

Cal Quantrill seems like the type of ground ball artist the Giants have been hunting for in recent years.

Maybe a vet like Zac Gallen on a 1-year deal to see if there's anything left in the tank there.

Freddy Peralta could be a match if Adames is still around, they were teammates in Milwaukee.

Kris Bubic on a 1 year deal injury bounceback could make a lot of sense. Dodgers using him out of the pen for playoffs, but he'll likely seek starting opportunity.

I think they sign at least 1, maybe two veteran starting pitchers. Making a trade would involve good prospect capital which the Giants aren't really in position to part with.

Unfortunately it’s a pretty weak class for one of the Giants biggest needs. Unless they miraculously land Skubal, don’t expect much spending on that front.

I hear Tyler Mahle might hit the market.

If hes willing to sign sure, his performance with us and the braves was good

People say this every year with pitching free agency. At this point you’re paying for what they can potentially do and most importantly inning eaters.

I doubt skubal would sign with is us unless the dodgers lose.
