In the frenzy of the media lockout, and the Giants claiming and then losing players in a heady rush, it’s a good time to take a step back before the start of spring training and understand who the Giants have actually added to their major-league roster. From Zaidi’s comments earlier, it sounds like there are unlikely to be any more major moves before the start of the season.
So... who are the new Giants? I’m going to break down every major league free-agent contract the Giants tendered this offseason (Carlos Martinez, for example, is not included here because it is a minor-league contract).
