SAN FRANCISCO — The “hot stove” seemed to finally get going Wednesday morning when several reporters tweeted that Pirates right-hander Gerrit Cole was headed to Houston.
Would that lead to free agent starters signing deals they had in hand? Would the Pirates finally tear it down and trade Andrew McCutchen and Josh Harrison, too? Would the Giants be on the other end of a McCutchen deal?
Well … none of the above. Cole hasn’t been traded, at least as of this posting, and the offseason remains as quiet as ever.
But, there are still Giants topics to go over, so here’s another round of Q&A as we wait for real moves.
