TL;DR
- San Francisco Giants prioritize acquiring another slugger after Rafael Devers acquisition was insufficient.
- Giants are reportedly monitoring Kyle Schwarber, a premier power hitter available in free agency.
- Fans are frustrated with the Giants' perceived hesitancy to make significant offseason acquisitions.
- Giants may pursue more modest salary agreements after reportedly abandoning pursuit of $100 million pitchers.
As the Winter Meetings approach, the San Francisco Giants appear poised for significant action. The team's front office acknowledges that acquiring just one player, Rafael Devers, this past season wasn't enough to lead the offense. Consequently, securing another slugger has become a top priority for the team's offseason.
『MLBネットワーク』のアナリスト、ジョン・モロシ氏は「ジャイアンツはカイル・シュワーバーの動向を注視しているチームの一つだ」と報じた。
The Giants are among the teams that have checked in on Kyle Schwarber, as I just reported on @MLBNetwork.

Schwarber, who led the National League with 56 homers and 132 RBIs last season, stands as the premier power hitter available in this offseason's free agent pool. Pairing him with Devers would bolster the Giants' lineup, leading to a dramatic increase in their scoring potential.
ジャイアンツは大型補強を期待するファンに応えられるか
For the 2025 season, the San Francisco Giants achieved a strong start with a record of 41 wins and 31 losses, placing them second in the National League West. The club acquired Devers to fully commit to aiming for a postseason berth, something they haven't done since 2022. This acquisition signaled to fans that the team was serious about competing.
However, despite making a bold move midway through the season, many fans are dissatisfied that the front office is hesitant to make significant acquisitions this offseason. With several quiet offseasons in a row and missed opportunities, the patience of Giants fans is nearing its breaking point.
『The Athletic』のアンドリュー・バガリー氏 がジャイアンツは今井達也やその他のトップクラスの投手たちを獲得するために必要な金額を出さないだろうと報じたことで、ファンの間には苛立ちが広がった。
According to Bagari, the Giants have reportedly abandoned pursuing pitchers expected to command contracts in the $100 million range due to financial considerations, and are instead targeting players with more modest salary agreements.

The Giants are “not inclined to spend what it takes” to sign Japanese start Tatsuya Imai, according to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic.

This news was disappointing for fans who had anticipated that acquiring Rafael Devers and signing Willy Adames and Matt Chapman to long-term deals would be the initial steps in competing with their division rival, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have won the World Series for two consecutive years.
しかし、『MLBネットワーク』のジョン・モロシ氏による最近の報道は、ウィンターミーティングに向けてジャイアンツのファンに一筋の希望の光をもたらしている。
Schwarber is anticipated to receive a substantial contract ranging from $120 million to $160 million over four to five years, equating to approximately 18.6 to 24.8 billion yen. He will likely face competition from clubs in major markets such as the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Mets, and Boston Red Sox. Amidst this, the Giants could emerge as an unexpected contender.
チームが上を目指していく上で、そして思い切った補強を切望しているファンの期待に応えるためにも、バスター・ポージーとフロント陣には今、こうしたアクションが求められているのかもしれない。
