SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS TEAM OUTLOOK:
In the offseason, the Giants signed starters Alex Wood, Anthony DeScalafani and Aaron Sanchez. They also signed relievers Jake McGee and Matt Wisler, second baseman Tommy La Stella, and catcher Curt Casali. Besides additions, the Giants lost starters Drew Smyly, Trevor Cahill, Jeff Samardzija, Tyson Ross, and second baseman Daniel Robertson.
Regarding their offense, the Giants do not have a star player. In terms of their pitching, the starting rotation will be competitive but can have some downsides. While the team does not have a clear-cut closing option, both relievers Jake McGee and Matt Wisler improve depth. Generally speaking, the San Francisco Giants are missing young, developed talent in all aspects of their squad, and this will hold them back from making the postseason in 2021.
