Giants Prepared To Go After Shohei Ohtani
1 year agoFree-agent two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow) is the San Francisco Giants' No. 1 target this offseason. One agent who spoke with the San Francisco Chronicle's John Shea during the general manager meetings last week called the Giants a "natural fit" for Ohtani, especially because of their location on the West Coast. Ohtani isn't the only big-name free agent from Asia that the Giants are planning to pursue this winter, though. San Francisco has "serious interest" in Korean outfielder Jung Hoo Lee as they seek an answer in center field. If the Giants are going to land the biggest prize on the open market, they are going to have to outbid the rival Los Angeles Dodgers, who are viewed as the favorites for Ohtani.
