The San Francisco Giants missed the postseason in 2024. While listing players the Giants can pivot to sign, FanSided's Chris Landers named Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames as a Soto backup plan.

Free-agent shortstop Ha-Seong Kim gives the San Francisco Giants a path to a proven strategy after last offseason's Matt Chapman signing.

The San Francisco Giants enter this offseason with hopes of competing soon. Two of their players were recently considered among the most likely to be traded this offseason by former MLB executive Jim Bowden of The Athletic. Slugging first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr was ranked at No. 13 and veteran outfielder Mike Yastrzemski followed close behind at No. 15. "In a departure from the previous administration, the Giants' new front office leadership, led by president of baseball operations Buster Posey, appears to want to emphasize everyday players more than platoon types," said Bowden.

The San Francisco Giants saw an area in need of improvement as they approached the 2024 MLB trade deadline, and went out in search of a deal to bring in reinforcements. While the trade was not a complete bust for the Giants, as Canha did improve upon the abysmal offensive production at first base, it still was not enough to propel the team to the postseason, and they finished the year with an 80-82 record and in fourth place in the National League West. Now that the season is over and the offseason is underway, Canha is a free agent, but people have not forgotten his short time with San Francisco.

The San Francisco Giants finished 80-82 during the regular season and missed the postseason. Jeff Passan of ESPN linked them to breakout Boston Red Sox slugger Tyler O'Neill. "[Aaron] Judge was the best hitter in the majors against left-handed pitching this year, but O'Neill wasn't far behind.

The San Francisco Giants may be looking for some creative ways to improve their ball club entering the first offseason of the Buster Posey era. Understandably, every team in baseball is going to be after Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki as the 23-year-old has been posted and is set to receive what will likely be a massive long-term deal after being posted by the Chiba Lotte Marines. Due to his age, he is classified as an international free agent and not subject to the same negotiation rules as younger players like Sasaki and Shohei Ohtani.

San Francisco Giants | SF Giants' Matt Chapman named finalist for Silver Slugger The Angels on Tuesday agreed to a two-year, $12 million deal with catcher Travis d'Arnaud. The Angels have also already added right-hander Kyle Hendricks via a one-year, $2.5 million deal, but the hot-stove season won't really kick into high gear until players — 13 in total — make decisions on qualifying offers extended by teams to start the offseason. The former Padre headlines the players weighing their $21.05 million qualifying offers, but he's seeking the biggest payday of the offseason after helping the Yankees get to the World Series. The Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox and Blue Jays headline the teams expected to pursue the 26-year-old, four-time All-Star.

With the 2024 MLB season behind us, everyone's attention has turned to the Juan Soto sweepstakes. The New York Yankees and Mets have set meetings with the 26-year-old. Reports have attached the Blue Jays to Soto, the Rays are allegedly throwing a Hail Mary, and you can never count out the Dodgers. The San Francisco Giants have also shown interest in Juan Soto but have not set a meeting to discuss his free agency, per Jayson Stark of The Athletic.

Giants fans eagerly awaiting the results of a potential meeting between San Francisco and prized free-agent slugger Juan Soto reportedly will be disappointed.

The San Francisco Giants are looking to make some improvements this offseason, as the team hopes to close the gap between them and the rest of the National League West. After years of missing out on top free agents, the Giants made a big switch in their front office, as they hired Buster Posey to be the new President of Baseball Operations. The hope is that Posey is going to be able to lead San Francisco into a new successful era. Now, he will be tasked with trying to lure some of the top free agents to the Bay Area, and there are some players that make a lot of sense for the team this offseason.

First base has been a position in flux for the San Francisco Giants since the decline and eventual departure of Brandon Belt. In fact, the Giants have not had any hitter knock 30 or more home runs in a single season since Barry Bonds hit 45 in 2004. 20 seasons have come and gone, and not a single Major League batter has been able to reach that plateau with "San Francisco" emblazoned across their chest.

The San Francisco Giants have a rather large hole to fill in their starting rotation for 2025. Former reliever-turned-starter Jordan Hicks did not have a seamless transition. Youngsters Kyle Harrison and Hayden Birdsong showed some promise, but the jury is out on whether or not they have a future in the rotation. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, San Francisco should have eyes on former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes.

The San Francisco Giants are headed into this offseason with many goals to improve a ball club which has missed the playoffs in seven of the last eight seasons, but it's no secret that one goal sits high above the rest. It's not often a player the caliber of Juan Soto becomes available at the young age of 26, but the Yankees outfielder is the prize of free agency this winter with some of the most high profile teams in baseball in hot pursuit. Count the Giants among those teams as the latest attempt by San Francisco to lure a superstar to the Bay Area. While the actual ability to get him to sign remains a question, Giants fans can take solace in the fact that the noise connecting the team to arguably the best hitter in baseball seems to be very real.

The Giants are among a handful of teams expected to travel to Southern California this week to visit superstar free-agent outfielder Juan Soto, MLB insider Jon Heyman reported Monday. Also tied to the 26-year-old slugger are the Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox and Yankees, with whom he reached the World Series this fall. Heyman specifically identified the Blue Jays as a team that could swoop in for Soto and added that two “mystery” teams are also expected to meet with Soto.

For all the well-warranted discussion of Juan Soto, another in-their-prime superstar has officially hit the free-agent market. This past Saturday, the Chiba Lotte Marines announced that they will begin the process of posting 23-year-old right-hander Roki Sasaki. Considered by many to be one of the most best pitchers on the planet, Sasaki stands to make his long-awaited MLB debut next season. Over four seasons with the Marines in NPB (Nippon Professional Baseball), Sasaki has a 2.10 ERA with 505 strikeouts over 394 2/3 innings.

The San Francisco Giants reportedly are believed to be meeting with free agent outfielder Juan Soto, and are viewed as a "legit" contender to sign the superstar slugger.

Free agency has not been the San Francisco Giants' strongsuit over the last few years. The team missed out on big-name guys like Bryce Harper and Aaron Judge and was a part of the Carlos Correa debacle before he ultimately signed with the Minnesota Twins.

The San Francisco Giants head into the offseason with a renewed sense of urgency to win after the dismissal of president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and subsequent installation of franchise legend Buster Posey in his place. In Posey's first offseason as an executive, he is tasked with fixing the roster of a team that has missed the playoffs in seven of the last eight seasons and really just not played competitive baseball since they were winning championships in the early 2010s. As someone who witnessed first hand what it took to bring World Series titles back to the Bay Area, there may be no one better equipped to bring the Giants back to prominence than Posey. One of the first big decisions he will have to make comes with free agent two-time Cy Young ace Blake Snell.
