GIANTS' PITCHING PLAY: SF PRIORITIZES VALUE LUCAS GIOLITO OVER EXPENSIVE IMAI
The Giants are seeking pitching value this offseason. Expert analysis links them strongly to Lucas Giolito, whose high fly-ball rate suits Oracle Park perfectly.
Gavin Kilen is the first player picked in the first round, with Buster Posey as the Giants' President of Baseball Operations.
The San Francisco Giants have had a quiet offseason so far. They need help in a few spots, like pitching and adding depth to their lineup. One area they're still trying to improve is their starting pitching.
Logan Webb and Robbie Ray are their top two pitchers for new manager Tony Vitello. They still need to find a third starter and a veteran pitcher. The options are getting fewer. Framber Valdez from the Houston Astros and Michael King from the San Diego Padres are the biggest names still available. Both are rumoured to be going to East Coast teams.
One guy the Giants might be interested in is Lucas Giolito, a right-hander from the Boston Red Sox. Buster Olney from ESPN said that the Giants aren't trying to sign the most expensive pitchers.
Olney said that the Giants have been connected to Tatsuyi Imai, the best free agent pitcher from Japan, but they seem to be looking at cheaper options, which suggests they don't want to spend big money on pitchers like Imai.
The Giants are again predicted to get Red Sox free agent pitcher Lucas Giolito.
Giolito is not going to be back in Boston, and Zachary D. Rymer from Bleacher Report thinks he'll end up with the Giants in the Bay Area. The Red Sox didn't make him an offer after this past season.
Rymer said that Lucas Giolito had a good comeback season this year, but he also had some luck. His expected ERA was 5.00, and he should have given up more homers. It's not hard to see why. The righty didn't have many strikeouts, and his ground-ball rate (39.5) and exit velocity (90.3 mph) were worse than average. Basically, he gave up a lot of hard-hit balls in the air.
After not playing at all in the prior season, Giolito started 26 games for Boston and had a 10-4 record. He pitched 145 innings with a 3.41 ERA, 121 strikeouts, and 56 walks. He also had a 2.1 WAR. Giolito missed the Red Sox's playoff series against the New York Yankees due to an elbow issue. It was a big loss because manager Alex Cora had to start young Connelly Early in the deciding Game 3.
Oracle Park could be great for Lucas Giolito.
One problem Giolito had this year was keeping the ball in the park. He gave up 17 home runs. But, as Rymer said, Oracle Park could be a good place for him to pitch.
Rymer wrote that Statcast says it's the second-worst park for home run hitters in MLB, only better than PNC Park in Pittsburgh. It's a good place for any pitcher, but especially for guys like Giolito who tend to have fly balls. The Giants need a good No. 3 starter behind Logan Webb and Robbie Ray. Giolito fits that description.
Giolito isn't expected to cost a ton of money. He should be ready for spring training, even with the elbow problem he had in the playoffs. Rymer thinks he'll get a multi-year deal in the $30-40 million range. A two-year deal in that price range would be perfect for San Francisco behind Webb and Ray. Giolito is still being connected to the Giants, and usually, there's a reason for the rumours.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES TRADE JAREN JACKSON JR. TO UTAH JAZZ IN 8-PLAYER BLOCKBUSTER
The Memphis Grizzlies have traded Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz, creating a record $28.8 million trade exception for 2026.
The Memphis Grizzlies turned heads on Tuesday, pulling off a blockbuster trade that sent two-time All-Star and former Defensive Player of the Year Jaren Jackson Jr to the Utah Jazz. Along with Jackson, the Grizzlies shipped out Vince Williams Jr, John Konchar, and Jock Landale. Coming back their way: Walter Clayton Jr, Kyle Anderson, Georges Niang, and, maybe the most important part, three future first-round picks.
And honestly, it feels like Memphis isn’t done stirring the pot. Inside the organisation, they see Zach Edey and Cedric Coward as the future. Both went late in the lottery in the past two drafts, and the Grizzlies landed some value in the second round this year, too, grabbing Jaylen Wells and Cam Spencer.
All this movement means Ja Morant’s future in Memphis suddenly looks shaky. He’s been the face of the franchise since they took him No. 2 overall back in 2019. When he’s healthy, he’s electric—no question. But injuries and off-court drama have slowed him down, and now, with the trade deadline closing in, the Grizzlies are openly shopping him. Teams around the league are watching.
There’s another wrinkle here: by dealing Jackson, Memphis created a massive trade exception—$28.8 million, the biggest in NBA history, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks and Shams Charania. It’s a huge chess piece. With that exception, the Grizzlies can absorb big, ugly contracts from other teams in exchange for more draft picks. Think of what the Thunder did a few years back—stockpiling picks by taking on bad deals until they rebuilt into a contender.
Now, you’ve probably heard Giannis Antetokounmpo’s name floating around in trade rumours. He hasn’t officially asked out of Milwaukee, but everyone in the league expects something to happen soon. Teams like the Timberwolves and Knicks are circling. The Grizzlies? They’re not likely to chase Giannis directly. But with that trade exception, they could play a big role as a third team—taking on salary dumps or unwanted contracts, collecting more picks, and helping another franchise pull off the Giannis blockbuster. Memphis just put itself squarely in the middle of the NBA’s hottest rumour.
KLINT KUBIAK SNUBS NFL RIVALS TO LEAD RAIDERS’ NEW ERA UNDER TOM BRADY
The Las Vegas Raiders are zeroing in on Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak as their next head coach, with Tom Brady leading the search.
The Las Vegas Raiders are in the middle of a huge shakeup right now. Klint Kubiak, the offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, is set to become their new head coach—and honestly, he’s nothing like Pete Carroll.
Kubiak’s still in his 30s, calling plays on offence, while Carroll just wrapped up last season as the NFL’s oldest head coach. The Raiders had their eyes on Ben Johnson previous year, but when he decided to take the Bears job, they turned to Carroll instead.
This time, Las Vegas seemed to have that same level of interest in Kubiak, but they had to wait things out because Seattle was still in the playoffs. Tom Brady, who’s a minority owner with the Raiders, clearly played a big part in picking the new coach.
Since nothing’s official until after the Super Bowl, Brady can’t come right out and talk about Kubiak joining the team. Still, he didn’t hold back when it came to sharing what he liked about the guy.
“Klint’s played to his team’s strengths. Last week, he did a ton of good things against a really strong Rams defence,” Brady said on the “Let’s Go!” podcast. “That’s what it took for them to win. The Rams are a tough team. That game in Seattle could’ve gone either way... Seattle really had to play a complete game in all three phases to pull it out, and they’ll need to do the same this weekend in Santa Clara.”
Brady also talked about Fernando Mendoza.
Another big reason the Raiders’ coaching job is so appealing? They’ve got the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Everyone expects them to grab Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.
Brady doesn’t have to be secretive about it—nobody’s jumping ahead of them in the draft. He was pretty open about how much he likes Mendoza.
“What do I value most? When I see him, he’s always talking up his teammates. He wins the Heisman, and he’s giving credit to everyone else,” Brady said. “That’s the kind of attitude you want in a leader.”
Kubiak focused on the Super Bowl, not the job switch.
Kubiak’s career is about to take off, but right now, he’s locked in on trying to win his first Super Bowl. So, he isn’t ready to talk about the Raiders just yet.
“I’m coaching the Seahawks in the Super Bowl, and that’s all I’m thinking about,” Kubiak told reporters on Monday. “I’m just excited for this week and this game.”
Not everyone in Seattle is thrilled to see Kubiak go. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold had nothing but praise after working with him this year.
“He was unbelievable,” Darnold said Monday. “The stuff I picked up from Klint—just with schemes, and then learning from him as a coach and a person—the grit. He’s up before the sun, gets to the facility at 4 or 4:30, and leaves later than anyone. The guy just grinds. He loves football, and he’s always straight with his players. I know I really appreciated that, and so did the rest of the guys.”
