" starting pitching help"
" probably No. 1 on the list"
" it just depends on what's out there. We may be over. We may be under," Johnson said. " We're going to look at each situation and make the decision and see how it fits into not only next year, but the longer-term plans."
Giants intend to approach offseason payroll cautiously, prioritizing starting pitching help while avoiding committing nine-figure contracts to pitchers. Whether the team exceeds the $244 million Competitive Balance Tax will depend on available opportunities, and each situation will be evaluated against next season and longer-term plans. The franchise has exceeded the tax line four times, paying it in 2015–17 and 2024. The 2025 payroll returned under the line despite major moves including an extension for one player, a seven-year/$182 million free-agent signing, and a high-profile trade. Most salary is concentrated in six players, with one upcoming free agent opening additional space.
