When the San Francisco Giants lured in free agent pitcher Johnny Cueto this past offseason to a six-year contract worth a staggering $130 million, there was a lot of excitement from the orange and black fanbase. This was the big fish pitcher that the Giants were trying to reel in when they attempted to woo another big-time pitcher, Zack Greinke. After losing Greinke to a surprising contender, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Giants brought in Jeff Samardzija for $90 million over five years, but didn’t quite have that “second ace” kind of pitcher they wanted to slot behind Madison Bumgarner.
