Does it make sense for SF Giants to deal starting pitching? Alex Wood says ‘this is where I want to be’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:23:51 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have a surplus of starting pitching. They could also use a rotation upgrade.Huh?Even as the club is reportedly exploring deals for Justin Verlander and other frontline starting pitchers, other teams are inquiring with president Farhan Zaidi about their stable of starters filling out the back of their rotation, according to a report from FanSided insider Robert Murray.Chief among the possible trade chips is Alex Wood, who has lost his spot in the rotation and is set to become a free agent after this season. Other logical candidates include Ross Stripling, Sean Manaea and Anthony DeSclafani, all of whom have also been asked to pitch out of relief at some point this year.One reason why Wood leads the speculation has been his outward displeasure for his usage, remarking on multiple occasions that he believes he should be starting games, not coming out of the bullpen. Four of Wood’s last six appearances have come out of the bullpen, following an opener.Bu...
