Blake Snell or Matt Chapman to the San Francisco Giants? It could come down to a simple coin flip. According to the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser, multiple sources have indicated that the SF Giants are still pursuing Snell and Chapman, and one source described the odds of the Giants landing one of them as '50-50.'
Who better to talk to about reigning Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell than Locked On Padres host Javier Reyes, who has watched all of Snell's starts over the past few seasons? Locked On Giants and Locked On Padres discuss Snell in detail, and why signing him would make a ton of sense for the Giants. And less sense for the Padres.
Giants fans are hungry for a winner and Snell would give them one of the best rotations in baseball once Robbie Ray and Alex Cobb return from injuries. Meanwhile, the Padres have done the all-in thing and it hasn't worked, so taking a more measured approach—and waiting for a really good starting pitching free agent class next year—might make the most sense. For the SF Giants, however, the time is now to finally take a risk and push in their chips.
