The San Francisco Giants continue to be one of the more aggressive teamsIn baseball, according to rumors, but they haven't necessarily landed a great player just yet. Over the past few years, however, the Giants have firmly been in the mix for some of the top players available.

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Giants are among several clubs showing interest in Bellinger as his market continues to ramp up. 

The Giants need offensive talent and a lot more, so Bellinger would make sense.

“Bellinger is believed drawing interest from at least the Dodgers, Giants and Mets, and the Blue Jays could make sense depending on their other big pursuits (Tucker and Bichette). Bellinger’s old Cubs team also expressed interest, but their agreement with Alex Bregman for $175M for five years, first reported by The Post, might take them out of it,” he wrote.

For the Giants, this is the type of opportunity they’ve consistently tried to capitalize on in recent offseasons. 

I don’t love him offensively at Oracle, but honestly, most hitters not named Barry Bonds aren’t exactly good fits.

Another aspect to consider is that while Bellinger might not be having the market he wants right now, if the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are involved, it'll probably be expensive.
