ZiPS projects Kevin Gausman to be Giants best starter
This year's ZiPS projections are out and offseason free-agent signing Kevin Gausman is predicted to be the San Francisco Giants best starter in 2020.
In the wake of Madison Bumgarner departing in free agency, the San Francisco Giants began the offseason in need of starting pitching help.
The only locks for the staff at the start of the offseason were veterans Johnny Cueto and Jeff Samardzija, but the team added another proven arm to the mix on a low-risk deal in December.
Right-hander Kevin Gausman was inked to a one-year, $9 million contract on Dec. 10, 2019.
Additionally, the Giants included incentives for Gausman to potentially earn more on the heels of the worst season in his MLB career.
