As the San Francisco Giants attempt to rebound from a disastrous 2017, one name on their free agency radar is J.D. Martinez.

According to John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Giants "have had discussions" regarding the veteran slugger.

While it's unclear if San Francisco actually has sat down with Martinez's agent, Scott Boras, Shea notes that the Giants are considering various options to improve an offense that ranked dead last in home runs and OPS last season.

Martinez, 30, slashed .303/.376/.690 with 45 home runs and 104 RBIs for the Detroit Tigers and Arizona Diamondbacks in 2017.
