Fresh off their third World Series title in five years, the business of baseball moves on for the San Francisco Giants.
Pablo Sandoval has signed with the Boston Red Sox, leaving a gaping hole at third base and in the middle of the Giants’ batting order. In addition to third base, general manager Brian Sabean is also in the market for a left fielder, starting pitcher and right-handed reliever.
The Giants will likely have about $30 million to spend to fill these needs, and it will be wise for Sabean not to spend it all on one player.
Let’s take a look at some of the key players the Giants have expressed an interest in and gauge the odds of whether we will see them in a Giants uniform.
