SATURDAY Previewing The Upcoming Starting Pitching Class

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.

I would think with the farm in the state it's in, they'd be willing to make one deal from it provided the right starter is made available. Given their history of no big, long-term contracts, I'd think a trade would almost be their default play, unless one year deals are all they're interested in.

This team has not done anything to earn a trade like that coming off of 97 losses. Trading a Level or Bresnahan and setting yourself back further to appease this group would be a monumental mistake. It would be the Reynolds for Cutch trade all over again.
