Giants: Alex Wood could be this year’s Drew Pomeranz

Left-hander Alex Wood is a name the San Francisco Giants are all too familiar with from his time facing off against them as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

However, his Dodgers tenure came to an end last December when he was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in a deal that also involved teammates Yasiel Puig and Matt Kemp.

The Reds believed they were acquiring a mid-rotation piece in Wood, but injuries and ineffectiveness derailed his performance in 2019, and he ended up making just seven starts.

Now, Wood is set to test free agency for the first time, and his situation is very similar to where Drew Pomeranz was at this time a year ago.
