yardbarker.com

The San Francisco Giants finished the 2024 season with an 80-82 record, placing fourth in the NL West. Key departures include Blake Snell and Michael Conforto, while new additions are Justin Verlander and Willy Adames. Buster Posey, now president of baseball operations, faces the challenge of improving the team's performance, which has been below .500 for six of the last eight seasons. Top prospect Carson Whisenhunt is expected to debut this season. Jung Hoo Lee, recovering from a shoulder injury, is set to contribute as a leadoff hitter. Adames, with a seven-year contract, joins Matt Chapman to strengthen the infield. The team seeks reliable pitching from Verlander and others.
