Albert Breer mentioned in his MMQB post on Friday that two […]

Yesterday, I wrote about how I thought the San Francisco Giants were done signing starting pitchers. After adding Tyler Mahle and Adrian Houser on one and two-year deals, respectively, the Giants now have five established starters, as that duo joins incumbents Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, and Landen Roupp. Not everyone agrees with that assessment.
