The San Francisco Giants have bailed on the free-agent pitchers and are fully committed to trading for Tampa Bay Rays infielder Ben Zobrist.
According to Jim Bowden of ESPN, the Giants are no longer pursuing James Shields or Max Scherzer.
San Francisco has limited financial flexibility after re-signing Jake Peavy and Sergio Romo, and going after Zobrist suggests the Giants are more interested in improving their lineup than pitching rotation right now.
