The Dodgers have won back-to-back World Series titles and have already improved the roster this winter.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest aspect of the roster that the Giants need to upgrade is the starting pitching rotation. The rotation has a few talented pitchers, but the depth is lacking after they traded a few arms to the Boston Red Sox to land Rafael Devers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,x_0,y_97,w_6422,h_3612\/c_fill,w_720,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/giants_baseball_insider\/01j9jd2cj5q8ykgsg1zy.jpg\" alt=\"Two New General Manager Names Floated As Potential Options for San  Francisco Giants\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As a result, CBS Sports\u2019 R.J.

You could sub in any number of other teams, the Yankees and Orioles included, and it would make sense to me too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peralta is the perfect option for the Giants to go after.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.newsweek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2211693134.jpg?w=1600&amp;quality=80&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"San Francisco Giants: News, Scores, Rumors, Schedule, Highlights and More\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s on an expiring contract, so he won\u2019t be as expensive to trade for as a controllable starter, but he\u2019s still one of the best starting pitchers in the game. The Giants have the money to sign him to a massive extension, too, in the same way the Red Sox inked Garrett Crochet to a massive new deal after trading for him.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants need to make a big move in the coming weeks.
