San Francisco, which recruited Lee Jeong-hoo, plans to recruit additional sluggers

The San Francisco Giants of the American Professional Baseball Major League have rolled up their sleeves to recruit a slugger. According to Major League.com on the 10th (Korean time), Farhan Zaidi, president of the San Francisco Giants' baseball division, said, "We will have to keep our eyes wide open to see whether the outfield slugger position needed by the club will be filled through internal growth or reinforced by external recruitment." . Previously, San Francisco succeeded in strengthening its outfield by giving Lee Jeong-hoo a large six-year contract worth a total of $113 million. The reason San Francisco is putting effort into recruiting hitters is because it struggled with weak outfield offense last year. Major League.com reported, “San Francisco has not had a batter exceed 30 home runs since Barry Bonds in 2004.” San Francisco recently traded outfielder Mitch Haniger, the team's long-running hitter, to the Seattle Mariners. Instead, San Francisco brought in Cy Young Award winner left-hander Robbie Ray. Hanniger, who hit 39 home runs for the Seattle Mariners in 2021, signed a free agent contract with San Francisco in December 2022. However, Hanniger only hit 6 home runs in 61 games in San Francisco last year. President Zaidi explained, “It is clear that the slugger has disappeared with the Hanniger trade, but it will be an opportunity for (prospects) to return to bat.” Major League.com mentioned long hitters such as Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman, Rhys Hoskins, and JD Martinez who are still in the free agent market, and said, "Chapman, who spent time with San Francisco manager Bob Melvin and the Oakland Athletics, is the hitter he is most consistently connected to."
