"MLB's Winter Meetings was not without its fireworks. Kyle Schwarber re-signed with the Phillies after being loosely connected to San Francisco while Edwin Díaz and Pete Alonso left the Mets for the Dodgers and Orioles, respectively. The Giants' roster, though, is effectively the same now as it stood on Sunday. The team's lone transaction this week was the acquisition of catcher Daniel Susac, who might have the edge in the backup catcher competition."
"The Giants entered the Winter Meetings - and the offseason - needing starters and relievers, but left-handed reliever Sam Hentges remains their only free-agent signing. San Francisco's rotation currently features three locks - Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, Landen Roupp - and two vacancies. The Giants have a plethora of young starters - Hayden Birdsong, Blade Tidwell, Carson Whisenhunt, Kai-Wei Teng, Trevor McDonald - but still needs proven arms capable of providing quality innings."
San Francisco made minimal moves at the Winter Meetings, acquiring catcher Daniel Susac and signing left-handed reliever Sam Hentges as the only free-agent addition. The rotation lists Logan Webb, Robbie Ray and Landen Roupp as locks, leaving two starting vacancies. The organization has multiple young pitching prospects—Hayden Birdsong, Blade Tidwell, Carson Whisenhunt, Kai-Wei Teng and Trevor McDonald—but lacks proven innings from established starters. Birdsong remains viewed primarily as a starter despite command concerns and a high upside. The club is considering trade options for experienced pitching and believes recent activity positions them for further deals.
