Giants face calls to trade starting pitcher Logan Webb this winter

The San Francisco Giants missed the postseason for the fifth consecutive year, prompting discussions regarding a major roster overhaul. President of baseball operations Buster Posey must address several personnel decisions this winter, including the future of manager Tony Vitello. Analysts suggest the organization should consider trading right-hander Logan Webb to acquire high-end prospects for a depleted farm system. Despite a down year featuring a 4.21 ERA, Webb remains a consistent presence who frequently records more than 30 starts per season. Webb is under contract for $18 million annually over the next two years before reaching free agency in 2029. Moving the veteran pitcher would represent a significant shift for the club, as other high-paid players on the roster remain difficult to move.
