The Giants enter a critical offseason with a lot of pressure to upgrade the top half of the roster in order to get back to playoff contention in 2024. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi has made it clear the team will target top-of-the-rotation starting pitching this offseason, and the Giants figure to be in on just about every premiere pitcher on the free-agent and trade markets.
There is no question that Alex Cobb will be part of the Giants' rotation next season. However, he likely won't be the No. 2 behind Webb. Cobb was an All-Star for the first time in 2023 and was a steady presence alongside Webb throughout the season. The Giants picked up Cobb's $10 million contract option, but offseason hip surgery will sideline him for most of April. With the Giants targeting top-of-the-rotation arms this offseason, Cobb likely will slide back a spot when he returns.
