The Giants weren’t expected to be big spenders this offseason even with young, marquee talent available, but given the hire of Farhan Zaidi, they were expected to at least be... active. Three days into the Winter Meetings and the biggest move so far has been a waiver claim of Sexy Ken Rosenthal outfielder Mike Gerber. Not a very hot stove.
However!
A lot of the chatter surrounding the Giants from both local and national sources has revolved almost exclusively around pitching. It started with Jon Morosi’s insistence that the Phillies and Brewers were hot for Madison Bumgarner.
