It’s becoming more clear what direction the San Francisco Giants are going. Here are the biggest three free agents the 2020 team needs to pursue.

If one thing became clear over the past week, the San Francisco Giants are no longer operating in the business of appeasing their fans. Well, not as a forefront anyway.

The Giants truly are rebuilding and this is the type of valley that tends to come after a team has peaked and won the World Series… three times.

The free-agency period is the best opportunity for teams to help that rebuild, or add the defining piece to help them win now. The Giants could use free agency to inject some youthful veterans into what was the oldest team in baseball last year.

There are plenty of trades that would be fun to predict as well but the Giants are not one to hit the trade market at this time given that their sell-able pieces like Johnny Cueto or Brandon Belt wouldn’t bring a great prospect return and they aren’t going to give up more prospects for big-market players.

I’ve already mentioned one player that would be a great fit for the San Francisco Giants (I’m not spoiling it here), but there are three guys available – as of the day this article is published – that could help the Giants now, and within their big-spending budget.
