The San Francisco Giants are looking for outfield help prior to the 2015 MLB season, and could find their man in a former member of the team they beat in the 2014 World Series - the Kansas City Royals.
According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Giants join the Atlanta Braves and Baltimore Orioles as potential destinations for outfielder Nori Aoki:

Aoki gained notoriety during the 2014 MLB Playoffs for the adventurous routes he would take to fly balls in right field, seemingly misjudging balls on contact before adjusting for catches in spectacular fashion.

The 32-year-old in a career .287 hitter in his three season in the big leagues, and has posted a 7.5 WAR over that time span as well. If the Giants were to sign Aoki, he'd likely slot in as the team's everyday left fielder going forward into the season.
