SF Giants Rumors: Chasing after Kiko Calero, veteran catcher and Bumgarner

By Allan

Mychael Urban of CSN Bay Area reports on what’s next for the San Francisco Giants:

  • Giant’s vice president of baseball operations, Bobby Evans, has been chatting with Kiko Calero’s agent, Diego Benz. Evans thinks that Claero will get a more lucrative and/or longer offer than what Urban predicts the Giants would offer.  The Cubs have been interested in Calero too. Calero pitched for the Marlins in 2009 going 2-2 with a 1.95 ERA over 67 games. You can see Kiko Calero’s statistics here.
  • Urban predicts that Buster Posey is the starting catcher for now. GM Brian Sabean may pick up a catcher who has no where else to go. The Giants have been speaking with Yorvit Torrealba. Torrealba could make a decision as early as next week.
  • Urban believes that No. 5 starters a dime a dozen, so he thinks the Giants do not need one. Rather, they should use a young stud to fill that role. In this case Madison Bumgarner.
