The San Francisco Giants are reportedly considering pursuing free agent first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the 2025-2026 offseason. However, doubts arise regarding their financial capacity to acquire a high-demand player given their longstanding budget constraints and past disappointments in signing elite talent. Furthermore, the presence of top prospect Bryce Eldridge, projected as a future first baseman, complicates the decision. Despite potential recruiting efforts led by figures like Buster Posey and Matt Chapman, the Giants’ historical inability to secure top market players suggests that they might falter in this pursuit, echoing past criticisms of their free agency strategies.
The Giants have long struggled to land top-tier free agents, raising questions about their ability to pursue Vlad Guerrero Jr. despite degrading performance.
Financial limitations force the Giants to seek surplus value, casting doubt on their pursuit of Guerrero, who won't come cheap amid a $150-$180 million payroll.
