MLB rumors: Giants 'willing to consider' signing Yasiel Puig as free agent

Yasiel Puig to the ... Giants? What?!

At first thought, it seems unlikely, but take a few steps back and think ... why not?

Giants insider Alex Pavlovic reported at the beginning of February, citing a source, the talks for the team to acquire the free-agent outfielder were "all but dead." And the team's longtime broadcaster Mike Krukow didn't hate the idea of having him roam Oracle Park's outfield.

Still, the recent signing of Billy Hamilton and Hunter Pence appeared to make that an unlikely option as time went by.

MLB Network's Jon Heyman said on Wednesday's edition of the "Big Time Baseball Podcast" that Puig did receive an offer from the Miami Marlins.
