Giants don't plan to add starting pitching depth during offseason

SAN FRANCISCO -- It was overshadowed by the firing of Gabe Kapler and then
the celebration of Brandon Crawford, but members of the Giants player
development staff experienced a pretty cool moment on Sunday when Kyle
Harrison took the mound.
Harrison became the third consecutive rookie to start, joining Keaton Winn
and Tristan Beck. It was the first time in 20 years that the Giants started
rookies in every game of a three-game series and the first time since 1909
that they did it against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
It was also likely a 2024 preview.
President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi has made a habit of signing
veterans to short-term contracts, with huge hits in Kevin Gausman and Alex
Cobb, and also a few notable misses and additions that didn't move the needle
one way or the other. Zaidi anticipates a much different approach this
offseason, though.
"I don't imagine us looking to add starting pitching depth," Zaidi said on
Tuesday. "It's a little bit like what we talked about at the trade deadline,
where we were looking for top of the rotation help, and if that wasn't
available we felt like we had answers internally that were maybe similar to
what was out there. I would imagine the same approach in free agency."
The Giants plan to be in on the biggest names, including Shohei Ohtani -- who
won't pitch in 2024 -- and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a Japanese superstar who is
viewed as a potential ace. But the days of offering one- and two-year deals
appear to be over, at least for now.
"When we look at what we have, between Logan Webb, Alex Cobb, the young guys
who pitched the last three games of the season for us, we're going to have
Anthony DeSclafani coming back and we'll see what happens with (Ross)
Stripling and (Sean) Manaea, I just think we have a good amount of that
depth," Zaidi said.
The Giants have Webb signed long-term and they intend to soon finalize a
no-brainer decision and officially pick up Cobb's $10 million option for next
year. That's a good start, and Harrison, Winn and Beck will all be in the mix
next season. DeSclafani has one year left on a deal that thus far hasn't at
all lived up to expectations. Stripling intends to pick up his player option
for next season, while Manaea said he is still undecided about whether to do
the same or hit the open market again.
Of course, there's a difference between having depth and having usable depth.
When he was pressed about the organization's use of openers over the last
week, Zaidi mentioned multiple times that the Giants entered the 2023 season
with six starting pitchers. But DeSclafani struggled and got hurt again,
while Alex Wood, Stripling and Manaea all pitched their way out of the
rotation.
It's unclear what the Giants will do with DeSclafani, Stripling and Manaea if
all are back, especially given the presence of the three young starters.
There's little doubt that a lot of the young options are simply better at
this point, and in Carson Whisenhunt, Mason Black, Hayden Birdsong and Landen
Roupp, there's more on the way.
For all that is wrong with the organization right now, rival executives are
envious of that pitching depth. But depth is no longer the goal. The Giants
need upside, and that will guide their offseason.
The front office plans to scour the trade market to see if a young arm or two
can bring back an everyday player. When free agency opens, the bargain bin is
likely to be ignored.
"Anytime you have a chance to add top of the rotation options, we'll look at
it, but for guys that are more back of the rotation options, we just don't
view that as a need," Zaidi said.

Giants don’t plan to add starting pitching depth during MLB offseason – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Unlike previous offseasons, the Giants don't plan to pursue free agent pitchers, believing they have enough in-house depth for 2024. ...

儘管壟罩在Gabe Kapler解雇和Brandon Crawford將離隊的陰影下，但巨人隊球員發展部門
看到Kyle Harrison登板見證這很特別的時刻。
在面對道奇隊的三連戰中，巨人啟用Keaton Winn、Tristan Beck和Kyle Harrison三位菜

這也可能是2024年的預覽。
棒球營運總裁Farhan Zaidi有以短約簽下老將的習慣，如Kevin Gausman和Alex Cobb等，
以及其他失敗和沒作用的合約，不過Zaidi預計這個休賽季情況將大不相同。
Zaidi在週二表示：「我不認為我們會增加先發輪值深度。這有點像我們在交易大限前談到
的，當時我們正在找前段輪值的挹注，如果不可行時我們內部可能有類似外部的人選。我
想在自由球員市場上也會採取同樣的方法。」

巨人隊休季想找大咖球員加入，包括2024年不會登板的大谷翔平，以及被視為可能成為王
牌的日本超級巨星山本由伸。但至少目前來看，提供一、兩年約的作法已不適用。
Zaidi說：「當我們看到我們的陣容，Logan Webb、Alex Cobb、上個賽季為我們出戰的年
輕球員，還有即將回歸的Anthony DeSclafani，Ross Stripling和Sean Manaea的情況還有
待觀察，我認為我們擁有足夠的輪值深度。」

巨人隊已和Webb簽了長約，並正式執行Cobb明年1000萬美元的選擇權。這是好的開始，而
Harrison、Winn和Beck明年都將競爭明年的先發輪值。DeSclafani還剩下一年約，但還
沒達到預期；Stripling打算執行明年的球員選擇權，而Manaea表示他尚未決定是否要執行
選擇權還是再次進入自由市場。
當然，擁有深度和擁有可用深度之間還是存在差異。
在被問球隊在過去一周內使用開局投手的情況時，Zaidi多次提到巨人隊在2023年以六人輪
值開季，但DeSclafani表現不佳再次受傷，而Alex Wood、Stripling和Manaea都在季中離
開輪值。

如果上述三位能重返輪值，巨人隊會不知道怎麼安排DeSclafani、Stripling和Manaea，更
何況還有更年輕的三名先發投手。毫無疑問，這時選擇啟用年輕投手並不是件難事。另外
還有其他更多年輕投手如Carson Whisenhunt、Mason Black、Hayden Birdsong和Landen
Roupp。

儘管目前巨人隊內部存在問題，但其他球團高層都很忌妒巨人隊的輪值深度。現在輪值深
度不再是目標，巨人隊休季最重要的便是更進一步。
巨人管理階層正在調查交易市場，看看是否能用年輕投手換回一名先發球員。當自由球員
市場開始時，價值折損有可能被忽略。
Zaidi說：「任何時候有機會增加前段輪值我們都會考慮，但對於那些更適合後段輪值的
人，我們並不會考慮。」
