The San Francisco Giants have not yet signed a free-agent reliever to replace Will Smith in the closer role. If they fail to make a significant outside addition, Shaun Anderson is someone to watch among the incumbent options.
As a rookie last season, Anderson was used primarily as a starter, but he did not shine in that role.
He remained in the rotation into August, recording a 5.33 ERA in 82.2 innings over 16 starts before he was moved to the bullpen.
