San Francisco Giants free agency predictions: Agree or disagree?

The San Francisco Giants will need to do something to replace Bumgarner if he does, in fact, decide to walk, and they could do a lot worse than the former AL Cy Young winner.
Keuchel slots better as a No. 3 starter on a good team than he does at the top of a starting rotation, but his reliance on command and groundball rate over elite stuff means he should age better than a lot of his hard-throwing counterparts.
If the price is right, there could be a fit here.
Verdict: Agree
