Giants linked to All-Star pitcher Shota Imanaga ahead of offseason

Summary

The San Francisco Giants are focusing on rebuilding for the 2027 season after missing the playoffs again in 2026. President of baseball operations Buster Posey is prioritizing pitching, seeking to add quality arms to the roster. Free agent left-hander Shota Imanaga, previously with the Chicago Cubs, is a target for the Giants. Analysts project Imanaga could sign a two-year deal worth $40 million with San Francisco. Concerns about his home run rate may influence his free agency impact, but his performance in a pitcher-friendly park like Oracle Park may benefit him.
