The San Francisco Giants lost closer Will Smith to free agency, leaving a hole at the back of the bullpen.
If they decide to pursue another top of the line reliever to replace him, Daniel Hudson is now the best reliever available in free agency. Should the Giants make a run at trying to sign him?
Now that Will Harris has signed with the Washington Nationals on a three-year, $24 million deal, Hudson is clearly the market's top relief pitcher. On the surface, it might not make sense for a Giants team that is not expected to contend to sign him, but he could end up being a valuable addition and a future trade chip for the club.
