The Rivalry That Shaped Baseball: Unveiling the Untold Story of Two Legendary Pitchers
The San Francisco Giants entered the offseason with a lot of young starting pitchers who were equal parts exciting and unproven. Pitchers who could break camp with the team and prove to be a vital asset in the bullpen and critical rotational depth, like Hayden Birdsong was in the first half of last year. But also, pitchers who could show that they’re just not ready to contribute at the Major League level yet, like Hayden Birdsong in the second half of last year.
As the Giants poked around the trade market, it seemed that some of those pitchers could end up being on the way out. But ultimately, it was just the one at the back of the pecking order — Kai-Wei Teng — who didn’t make it to Scottsdale. The rest of the crew is there, fighting for bullpen jobs, backup starting jobs, and spots on the AAA Sacramento rotational totem pole.
