The San Francisco Giants landed one of the top free agents available earlier this month when they signed star shortstop Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182 million contract. Zachary Rotman of FanSided listed San Francisco as a potential landing spot for slugger Pete Alonso, assuming that the Giants are unable to sign Corbin Burnes.

Ehire Adrianza, a member of the San Francisco Giants' 2014 World Series team, announced his retirement on Instagram earlier this week. Brandon Belt, who was one of the stars of that championship team, announced his retirement last month.

Reports have indicated that the San Francisco Giants are open to moving Lamonte Wade Jr. The Giants have been linked to a few first basemen on the market, but many of the top options available are on new teams already. There are still a few sneaky options available, including Josh Bell. Wade is a better player than Bell at this stage of their careers, but if San Francisco doesn't want to re-sign Wade next winter, moving him now would be the logical thing to do.

The San Francisco Giants are still seeking starting pitching, but according to a report this week, they may still have a shot at reeling in the most sought after player still available in Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki. By all accounts, the Giants pursuit of Corbin Burnes is very real and still has a great shot at ending in a signing, but Sasaki was not someone San Francisco was looked at as having a great chance to land.

The first offseason with Buster Posey as president of baseball operations for the San Francisco Giants has already been a successful one. It will take more than one winter, but there are things that can be done to move the franchise closer to that level. Here are three Christmas wishes the franchise should have this holiday season to continue moving up the standings. The Giants have a bonafide workhorse atop their rotation in Logan Webb.

The San Francisco Giants made a huge splash this offseason and are hoping to move closer to become serious contenders with an improved offense. While the pitching staff still currently needs some more help, the Giants may not do too much more to change the lineup any further. Last year, San Francisco finished at No. 19 with a 97 wRC+. The Giants added a huge star in Willy Adames and let Michael Conforto walk in free agency.

The signing of Willy Adames was expected to represent a beginning to the Giants' offseason additions. Supplementing the rotation is their top priority with Adames signed to play shortstop, but they stand to benefit by taking a look at first base and designated hitter. Following an eventful weekend, San Francisco's list of options has considerably dwindled. The first domino to fall was Christian Walker, who signed a three-year, $60 million contract with the Houston Astros.

The San Francisco Giants have had a strong offseason thus far, and the franchise is still looking to improve. After some years of mediocrity and losing seasons, the Giants have recently made some big changes with the hopes of turning things around. Buster Posey was named the new President of Baseball Operations before the offseason, and things started out well under him. Signing Adames was a top priority for San Francisco, as they wanted to improve the shortstop position and also the middle of the lineup.

The San Francisco Giants have made some huge offseason moves already and hope they aren't done just yet, but as is the case for every team that doesn't win the World Series, the most important development will have to come from within. One player who took a huge step from 2023 to 2024 and will try to improve even further in 2025 is Giants catcher Patrick Bailey. After a beyond solid rookie season in 2023 in which he finished in the top-ten for the National League Rookie of the Year, Bailey won a Gold Glove in 2024. While the offensive output was similar to his rookie season and not anything to write home about, there's confidence the bat will come along for the 25-year-old.

Another potential starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants has come off the board just two days before Christmas. Former Giants and current New York Mets pitcher Sean Manaea has agreed to terms on a three-year deal worth $75 million to remain with the Mets after a season in 2024 that was the best of his career. The deal was first reported by MLB insider Jon Heyman. After a solid one-year stint with San Francisco in 2023, Manaea signed a two-year deal worth $28 million with the Mets that contained an option after one year.

The Giants' pursuit of right-hander Corbin Burnes is no secret. Over the last three days, the Giants' chances of signing the former Cy Young Award winner may have significantly increased thanks to another team's activity. The Boston Red Sox bolstered their starting rotation before Christmas, signing left-hander Patrick Sandoval to a two-year, $18.2 million deal and agreeing with right-hander Walker Buehler to a one-year, $21.05 million contract.

The free agency market has started to heat up again over the past few hours, with multiple players agreeing to deals with new teams. The San Francisco Giants haven't done anything on Monday, but former outfielder Andrew McCutchen did. In a post on social media, the Pittsburgh Pirates announced that McCutchen is "back." The veteran only spent half a season with the Giants, playing in 130 games during the 2018 campaign.

The San Francisco Giants will not be having a reunion with a former slugger who hit free agency this offseason. Two-time All-Star Joc Pederson — who spent the 2024 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a one-year contract — has agreed to terms with the Texas Rangers on a two-year deal worth $37 million that contains an opt out after the first season. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was the first to report the news of the agreement and Buster Olney of ESPN reported the contract details. Pederson spent the two seasons prior to arriving to the Diamondbacks with the Giants from 2022-23, both on one-year contracts.

The San Francisco Giants made a big splash in free agency when they signed Willy Adames to the biggest deal in franchise history. Corbin Burnes is clearly the best available starter available. While predicting landing spots for underrated free agents, Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer predicted that the Giants would sign Boston Red Sox starter Nick Pivetta.

The Texas Rangers have reportedly reached a deal with OF/DH Joc Pederson as the team continues to make offseason moves.
