The SF Giants starting rotation registered a 4.99 ERA in 60 games in 2020, but they got solid returns from the new arrivals.
When last offseason began, the SF Giants had Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija, Tyler Beede, and Logan Webb tabbed as the team’s rotation incumbents.
However, they brought in Kevin Gausman, Drew Smyly, Trevor Cahill, Tyler Anderson, and Tyson Ross on one-year deals.
