The San Francisco Giants have plenty of under-performing veterans signed to long-term deals, and it seems those players are beginning to realize they will need to perform if they want to stay on the field.
In particular, the Giants have added depth pieces that could challenge both first baseman Brandon Belt and shortstop Brandon Crawford.
The 2019 season was truly a lost one for both players.
Crawford hit .228/.304/.350 for a 75 OPS+ across 560 plate appearances while questions about his declining defense also bubbled to the surface.
