It’s clear that during the lockout Farhan Zaidi made pitching the scratch to itch before the start of 2022 season.
With the signing of starting pitcher Carlos Rodón over the weekend, the 2022 San Francisco Giants starting rotation is ostensibly complete, but unsurprisingly, the front office has continued to add depth and flexibility to its rotation today with the signings of Carlos Martínez and Jakob Junis.
Expect more of these moves all season.
Both Martínez and Junis have experience starting Major League games and were picked up with the hope that they’d fill in—along with Tyler Beede, Sammy Long and Sean Hjelle potentially—when the established rotation is not at 100 percent.
