Giants to look at ‘intriguing avenues’ to bring in talent, per Zack Minasian originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Giants have had MLB offseason spending questions swirling for a few years now, only to be eventually outbid by other teams.
The largest deal the Giants made before Willy Adames’ last season was Buster Posey’s nine-year, $167 million contract back in 2013. Now, with Buster at the helm in his sophomore season as President of Baseball Operations, general manager Zack Minasian spoke with KNBR 680’s “Murph & Markus” show on Thursday about San Francisco’s approach in the 2025 offseason.
“I certainly want us to be an organization that closes deals…”, Minasian shared, “… And certainly feel like there are some intriguing avenues now that we’ll continue to explore and see where they go.”
His comments came hours after it was reported that the Giants are bringing in former Los Angeles Angels manager Ron Washington for an infield coaching position.
One big-name free agent Minasian was asked about specifically is Japanese star pitcher Tatsuya Imai
“Some possibilities are going to open up more and more as players start to sign, and yeah, hopefully we can add talent, that’s always the goal”, he continued.
Minasian further referenced San Francisco’s experience in snagging talent from the Korean Baseball League and Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball, specifically Jung Hoo Lee.
“It’s obviously very well known our activity on other players that have come over from those countries, and we’re going to continue to be active with players that have a chance to make the team better.”
The Giants made history by hiring Tony Vitello as their new manager, and bringing back Bruce Bochy as a special advisor will surely give a veteran presence to the front office. Until then, Zack Minasian is “continuing to really look at all avenues for bringing in talent”.
