The San Francisco Giants are optimistic about their chances of being contenders in 2024. They have a strong foundation to compete and have added center fielder Jung-Hoo Lee and pitcher Jordan Hicks, among other players. Historically, they have needed power hitters for their lineup, and this offseason is no different as they continue to pursue players who can hit home runs in their challenging stadium. One player they are interested in is Jorge Soler. According to MLB insider Jon Morosi, the Giants and Soler’s camp have had extensive discussions this offseason and are currently in a stalemate. It seems that Soler is also negotiating with other teams, but the Giants are considered one of the front-runners to sign him. The main sticking point appears to be the contract length, as most offers Soler has received are for two years. However, Soler is looking for a third year or at least a two-year deal with a player option. Last season, Soler had an impressive .853 OPS in a large home park, and the Giants believe he can replicate that performance for their team. The question now is, who will give in first and meet the other party’s demands? With MLB camps set to open this week, it is expected that the remaining free agents will soon make their decisions and commit to a team.
