The San Francisco Giants have received a lot of negative feedback about how they handled their pitching staff this offseason. Two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell opted out of his contract, hitting free agency after one year with the team.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Jung Hoo Lee’s rookie season ended prematurely with a shoulder injury last May but the outfielder continued what’s been an impressive return for the Giants in Thursday’s 7-3 spring training win over the White Sox.

For the first time since their 2014 World Series win, the San Francisco Giants may finally have a clear path forward. Hiring team legend Buster Posey as their president of baseball operations may have been their biggest addition of the offseason.

The San Francisco Giants know if they want to get back into the playoff picture in the National League, they need to start producing runs at a more consistent clip. That is part of the reason they so aggressively pursued Willy Adames in free agency.
