One name the SF Giants have been connected to this offseason is free agent pitcher Zac Gallen. However, a recent nugget of information from Giants insider Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area suggests the Giants may not be super hot on Gallen.
Some conflicting reports created confusion about Gallen's status, but he is still very much available in free agency. However, the fact that he rejected a qualifying offer could be a sticking point for the Giants.
