The San Francisco Giants have made a big splash with their latest acquisition. Ensuing the prolonged free agency of this southpaw, the Giants signed the ace Blake Snell. Not only has they assembled a starting rotation with potential but are also en route to make it one of the most dominant. Baseball fans across the country have set their sights on the Bay Area in 2024. 

With Snell on board, the Giants’ rotation goes through an instant elevation. The 31-year-old reigning American League Cy Young Award winner’s addition to the Giants makes them a force to be reckoned with. He brings a repertoire featuring a flaming fastball and a disruptive curveball leaving hitters bewildered. The best part? The $62 million LHP could be seen next to another Cy Young front runner. 

The San Francisco Giant’s Rotation For 2024

That’s right. Blake Snell is said to be paired at the top of the rotation with Logan Webb – the young flame thrower who finished second in Cy Young voting following a breakout 2023 season. This is a dynamic duo to look forward to. They are capable of creating a one-two punch unlike anything in recent memory. Perhaps, it would be the first time a team has has the 1st and the 2nd place Cy Young finishers on the same roster since 2003. Remember Arizona Diamondbacks’ Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling? If this doesn’t reflect the potential to be psychologically advantageous over opposing teams then what does? 

It’s great that Snell and Webb are coming together, but their combined brilliance doesn’t overshadow the rest of the Giants’ rotation. Following the stars would be Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, and Alex Cobb likely in that order (per Bleacher Report).
