The San Francisco Giants hoped to lure 23-year-old Japanese right-handed pitcher Roki Sasaki to the Bay Area, but they were informed recently that he won't be picking them.

Entering his second year as outfielder for the San Francisco Giants, Lee Jung-hoo said Monday he would love nothing more than to stay healthy in 2025. Lee left for the U.S. on Monday to prepare for his second season in Major League Baseball. Lee was limited to just 37 games as a rookie in 2024, due to a shoulder injury he suffered while trying to make a leaping catch at the outfield wall at Oracle Park in San Francisco on May 12. Lee, who signed a six-year, $113 million contract with the Giants in December 2023, finished his rookie campaign with a .262/.310/.331 batting line, two home runs, eight RBIs and two steals.
