The Giants have shown interest in left-hander , according to a report from . Morosi adds that Imanagas market is likely to come into further focus when the sweepstakes for right-hander come to an end. A recent report Imanaga to the Yankees as a potential backup plan should they mi s out on Yamamoto. The Giants are a suitor for the young right-hander themselves, though its unclear if their interest in Imanaga hinges on Yamamoto signing elsewhere or Casey Lawrence Jersey if they would consider pursuing both hurlers. The Tigers, Dodgers, Cubs, and Red Sox are among the other clubs that the lefty has been connected to in the weeks leading up to and following his late last month. Imanaga would certainly be a solid fit for San Francisco headed into 2024. With veteran righty set to mi s the start of the season as he rehabs from , right-handers and appear to be the clubs only surefire starting pitchers for 2024. Veteran along with youngsters like and could all plausibly start for the club next season, but the Giants seemingly preferred to use each in more flexible, multi-inning bulk roles last year rather than as regular members of the rotation. Adding another stable arm to pair with Webb at the front of the clubs rotation could be a sensible decision if that preference holds into next season, particularly if the Giants wind up to addre s other areas on their roster. The Giants have been among the more aggre sive teams in the league over the past few offseasons but have come away with little to show for it after whiffing on top free agents such as , , and . Should that same fate befall the club in their pursuit of Yamamoto, pivoting to Imanaga would allow them to bulk up their starting rotation with a player who, though five years Yamamotos senior, has posted a sub-3.00 ERA in four of his past five NPB seasons, including each of the past three. Since the start of the 2021 season, Imanaga has posted a sterling 2.51 ERA acro s 467 innings of work. That strong track record has led to that Imanagas price tag in free agency could surpa s $100MM, though the Giants have made clear theyre more than comfortable working in the deeper end of free agency both through their pursuits of Ohtani and Yamamoto but also by signing KBO star to a this past week. On the heels of a 79-83 season in 2023, San Francisco seems interest in upgrades all acro s their roster. Depending on exactly how much money the Giants have to spend this offseason, a pursuit of Imanaga could leave them with more room in the budget to make further additions to the club this offseason. Third baseman , right-hander and outfielder are among the other notable free agents the club has expre sed interest in this offseason, though its unclear if the club remains in on Cody Bellinger following their agreement with Lee.
