We’ve all been holding our breath the last few weeks to hear news about Javier Lopez and Ryan Vogelsong. But as many of you know, rumors are flying around about Tim Hudson and Ricky Nolasco coming to the Giants to help fill out the starting rotation next year.
Here are the latest updates on Lopez and Vogelsong as well as other names being thrown around as potential new Giants in 2014.
Javier Lopez (LHP, Giants)
I’m pretending this is a joke.

Ryan Vogelsong (RHP, Giants)
#sfgiants continuing a dialog with Ryan Vogelsong's agent, Bobby Evans said. Door is still open. How wide? Don't know.

It's still a possibility that something gets worked out between Ryan Vogelsong and the Giants on a 2014 contract.

Ricky Nolasco (RHP, Dodgers)
I can see the #sfgiants pursuing Nolasco, but only if he lowers demand to 3 years tops. As of NOW, #sfgiants won't go 4.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) November 16, 2013
#sfgiants have talked about Nolasco "in passing" with agent.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) November 14, 2013
As @JeffPassan reported, action on SP Ricky Nolasco is heating up, but #sfgiants not really interested because he wants, could get 4 yrs.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) November 14, 2013
And Gil Meche promptly unretires ... RT @JeffPassan Agent: Ricky Nolasco has multiple 4-year offers. Source believes one is $52M.

Tim Hudson (RHP, Braves)
#GiantsTalk -- Should #SFGiants pursue Tim Hudson? @CSNBaggs weighs the Pros and Cons http://t.co/gp8tHsuudy #MLB
— NBC Sports Bay Area & CA (@NBCSAuthentic) November 13, 2013
Sources: #sfgiants target Tim Hudson willing to move west, and another morning notes from the GM meetings: http://t.co/uUJtpgQ1O1
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) November 12, 2013
In #sfgiants favor as they pursue Tim Hudson: #braves offer is significantly less than he earned last year. He's not inclined to stay.

— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) November 13, 2013
Corey Hart (OF, Brewers)
The #SFGiants are looking into the health of OF Corey Hart, according to @hankschulman. #Mets, #Brewers interested.
— Robert Murray (@ByRobertMurray) November 13, 2013
The #sfgiants are interested enough in Corey Hart that they're looking into his health. Not a front-burner item.

Brian Wilson (RHP, Dodgers)
Depending on where dollar figures fall, DET's preference among available closers may well be Brian Wilson,coming off his strong '13 showing.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) November 16, 2013
Can confirm @TBrownYahoo Tweet that #sfgiants willing to bring back Brian Wilson, tho they expect he'll be signed before SF addresses 'pen.
— Henry Schulman (@hankschulman) November 13, 2013
Brian Wilson won't go beardless, but could he return to #SFGiants? (via @CSNBaggs) http://t.co/mpdNmLbwt0 #MLB #GiantsTalk
