The San Francisco Giants, having missed out on Yoshinobu Yamamoto, are now targeting Blake Snell as their next priority. There is a sense that the Giants are in discussions with Scott Boras, Snell's agent, and are willing to pay more than Yamamoto's AAV. The Los Angeles Angels are also pursuing Snell, making him a priority after losing Shohei Ohtani to the Dodgers. The Giants' pursuit of Snell has intensified after Yamamoto ruled out joining them. Other teams, including the Red Sox, are also interested in Snell. The Giants' interest in Snell has been fueled by the belief that his market may be limited, giving them an edge in negotiations.

Know Boras is pushing for $30M per yr on Blake Snell. Sense there's an understanding between Giants & Boras' camp that a deal gets done after Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Boras will want to beat Yamamoto's AAV. After Yamamoto, I'd bet Boras sends Snell / Matt Chapman to SF
