The San Francisco Giants look like the top candidate to sign reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell, according to USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale.
Snell may not sign with a new team until fellow free agent Yoshinobu Yamamoto finalizes his own deal, according to Nightengale. Yamamoto's contract is expected to exceed $300 million.
The starter led the NL with a 2.25 ERA and threw a career-best 234 strikeouts with the San Diego Padres in 2023. He finished the season with a 14-9 record through 32 starts and 180.0 innings pitched.
Snell declined a $20.
