Giants Make a Push for Corbin Burnes

Late Tuesday night, Buster Posey, the new President of Baseball Operations (POBO) for the San Francisco Giants, met with Corbin Burnes, the 2021 NL Cy Young winner. According to reports from the New York Post, the Giants are making a strong push to bring Burnes to San Francisco. The Toronto Blue Jays are also heavily involved in the pursuit.

With Max Fried and Blake Snell already signed, Burnes stands out as the top available free-agent starter. The Giants have already made a significant move this offseason by signing Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182 million deal. They are also reportedly interested in Astros outfielder Kyle Tucker, showing their ambition to strengthen the team.

Adding Burnes would give the Giants a second ace to pair with Logan Webb, providing much-needed reliability in their starting rotation. The Giants have relied heavily on bullpen games and openers in recent years, and Burnes could be the solution to solidify their pitching staff
