The San Francisco Giants face significant challenges in their starting rotation after losing Blake Snell to the Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason. Analysts suggest they may need to bring in at least one new starter, though not necessarily a top-tier option.

With the winter meetings approaching, the Giants' rotation appears weaker than last year. Potential depth starters include Landen Roupp, Hayden Birdsong, and Mason Black, each with varying degrees of promise but needing improvements.

Key players like Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks are also in the mix, with Harrison showing potential despite some regression. Robbie Ray returns, hoping to regain form after a lackluster season, while Jack Flaherty could be a significant addition if acquired.

Logan Webb stands as the rotation's ace after a strong All-Star season, but the team will need to bolster their lineup to remain competitive.
