Will Mac Williamson play for Giants in 2019?

Can we assume some excellent factors from Mac Williamson? He started out previous period hitting tape-measure household operates just before he obtained injured and concussed. Evidently he experienced signs all year and we hardly ever saw him all over again.
— Joe G.

I assume Williamson will be presented the chance to contend for a starting off outfield occupation throughout Spring Teaching, particularly considering that he is out of possibilities and can’t be sent to the Minors with out currently being uncovered to waivers. The Giants obtained a glimpse of Williamson’s tantalizing ability likely when he crushed three household operates throughout a 5-sport extend in April, together with a 434-foot shot at Angel Stadium that rifled off his bat at 114 mph and proved to be the club’s hardest-strike household operate of the period, in accordance to Statcast™. San Francisco demands more punch in its lineup, so if Williamson performs nicely in camp and reveals he is healthier, I assume he has a excellent shot of sticking with the club.

The Giants have shown curiosity in locating a platoon lover for Joe Panik. Which cost-free-agent infielders do you assume could in shape that purpose?
— Alex P., Burlingame, Calif.

Marwin Gonzalez, a change-hitter who can perform all over the infield and outfield, would be a wonderful addition, while he could ultimately be also expense-prohibitive for the Giants. Josh Harrison, who bats suitable-handed and can perform second and third foundation, is yet another probability, while he is coming off a down period and batted only .219 with a .678 OPS from still left-handed pitchers in 2018.

Could the Giants trade Madison Bumgarner to the Yankees for Aaron Decide? The Yankees never need more homers, but they do need a starting off pitcher who will acquire postseason video games for them.
— Steve F., Sunnyvale, Calif.

I’m not certain the Yankees are entertaining delivers for Decide, but it would consider more than Bumgarner to entice them to trade their star suitable fielder. Decide, who completed runner-up in American League Most Precious Player Award voting in 2017, is under workforce management for 4 more seasons and will not be eligible for arbitration right up until ’20. Bumgarner, meanwhile, is coming into his ultimate period just before cost-free company, and he is slated to get paid $12 million in ’19.
