According to a report from NBC Sports Bay Area, the Giants are still considering the possibility of adding Blake Snell to their roster, despite having a strong offseason in free agency. While the team has already begun spring training in Scottsdale, Arizona, they remain in contention for Snell, who has received a contract offer from the New York Yankees, as per MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, citing a source.
Snell, represented by super agent Scott Boras, is one of the prominent free agents still available in the market. The Giants have been linked to the left-handed pitcher since the beginning of free agency, aiming to reinforce their rotation alongside Logan Webb.
Although the Giants have made notable acquisitions like Robbie Ray and Jordan Hicks, Snell’s availability presents an enticing opportunity. Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi mentioned that while the team’s current roster is likely finalized, they haven’t completely ruled out further additions. Zaidi highlighted the logistical challenges of adding players during spring training but emphasized that the team remains open to opportunities.
As Snell approaches a decision, the status of the Yankees’ offer remains unclear. However, considering the Giants’ continued interest in Snell, there’s speculation about the possibility of the Cy Young winner reuniting with manager Bob Melvin in San Francisco.
