"Posey has not been shy about acquiring star power, signing Willy Adames to a franchise-record deal then trading for three-time All-Star Rafael Devers - and inheriting roughly $250 million of salary. While this free agency class features big names who will make big money, Posey doesn't necessarily need to go star hunting. The Giants could make another statement by doling out another big contract to another big star, but it's more likely that they spread their money around to address multiple areas of need."
"Who are the Giants' impending free agents? The Giants have three impending free agents in designated hitter Wilmer Flores, first baseman Dominic Smith and right-hander Justin Verlander. San Francisco's brass didn't rule out the possibility of re-uniting with Flores, Smith or Verlander, but it's possible that all three have played their final games as Giants. Catcher Tom Murphy should also become a free agent as well."
Buster Posey hired Tony Vitello as manager after firing Bob Melvin and will work with general manager Zack Minasian to build the roster Vitello will lead. Posey signed Willy Adames to a franchise-record deal and acquired three-time All-Star Rafael Devers, inheriting roughly $250 million in salary. The team may avoid further single-star signings and instead spread payroll across multiple areas of need. Impending free agents include DH Wilmer Flores, 1B Dominic Smith and RHP Justin Verlander; catcher Tom Murphy is also expected to reach free agency with his club option unlikely to be exercised. Arbitration-eligible players include JT Brubaker, Joey Lucchesi and Andrew Knizner.
