SF Giants will focus on pitching, but these 3 free agent outfielders also make sense

The SF Giants figure to focus pretty much all of their resources on adding pitching in the offseason. Major additions need to be made to both the starting rotation and the bullpen so it wouldn’t be a shock if San Francisco does not do much to address the position player side of things.

The lineup next season is already pretty set if guys come back healthy, but the one area that could use some additional help on paper is the outfield. That’s a bit ironic since the Giants have so many outfielders, but most of them are young and unproven at the big league level.

If the Giants decide they want a slugger roaming left field, or maybe even right field if they decide Jung Hoo Lee needs yet another position change, then these three free agents could make some sense.

3 free agents outfielders who would add even more pop to SF Giants’ lineup

Seiya Suzuki

The Giants made a play for Seiya Suzuki when he was first available as a free agent but were unable to land him. Now he hits the market again after a great year for the Chicago Cubs in which he hit .270/.368/.473 with 26 homers and 86 runs batted in.

He’s 32 years old and we know the Giants have to grossly overpay sluggers to get them to come to San Francisco (see: Jorge Soler) so they may just roll the dice on Victor Bericoto and Bo Davidson instead for a fraction of the cost which is probably smarter, but adding Suzuki to an already pretty good lineup on paper could be dangerous.

Randy Arozarena

The Giants have been missing speed from their offense for quite some time and Randy Arozarena would solve that problem while also adding pop to the lineup. He had 53 homers the last two seasons combined with the Seattle Mariners and 57 stolen bases which is a combination that is very enticing.

Still, he’s 32 and would have to be overpaid which the Giants aren’t really in a position to do right now after such a bad season in 2026.

Randal Grichuk

This would be a more modest signing for San Francisco as Grichuk could probably be had on a one-year deal, but the veteran right-handed outfielder could be a platoon bat with a younger outfielder while also providing a bit more experience to the outfield.

He hit .287/.314/.566 with 15 home runs and 46 runs batted in and spent time with both the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox. He’s 35 so he wouldn’t break the bank the way Suzuki or Arozarena would. Still, there’s an argument the Giants would be better off letting the younger guys play over a veteran like Grichuk.

Adding a high-end free agent outfielder definitely feels unlikely, but if Buster Posey can’t land any good pitchers then maybe he’ll have to pivot and add another big bat in the hopes the Giants can just out-slug everyone. You know, that classic brand of Giants baseball: offense, no pitching, and poor defense.
