Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito is still a free agent, even with multiple teams still looking for arms.
As teams continue to look for rotation help around the league, Giolito is one of the more intriguing arms who could still find a role with a contender. Chris Landers of FanSided thinks the San Francisco Giants could become a top destination for the veteran right-hander.

San Francisco, however, should still be looking for additional rotation depth. The Giants already have many decent starters, including Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, and others. Adding would give them another proven arm capable of giving them innings in the season.
Landers explained why San Francisco might be a strong fit for Giolito’s pitching style. “For a while we had him pegged for the Atlanta Braves, but there doesn't seem to be a ton of interest there despite the losses of Spencer Schwellenbach, Hurston Waldrep and Joey Wentz. So what about the Giants?
