As the SF Giants look to rebuild a bullpen that was ravaged by injuries in 2025, they have been linked to reliever Michael Kopech. He dealt with injuries himself in 2025 and would be more of a reclamation project for San Francisco.
Kopech spent 2025 with the Los Angeles Dodgers and had a 2.45 ERA across 14 appearances. He dealt with numerous injuries that ultimately limited him to just 11 innings and he also walked 13 batters so he struggled with command at times.

Kopech's name was thrown out as a potential closer candidate for the Giants if they signed him which would not be the most inspiring development since he has just 15 career saves but maybe he has what it takes.
