Bullpen Priority and Injury Crisis Define Pitching Plan

Posey has identified an experienced late-inning reliever as the first major offseason need after a 4.14 relief ERA, 30-for-57 save rate and 16–29 record in one-run games. Continued calls for Adrián Morejón reinforce the need but remain external advocacy without reported Giants interest; Clay Holmes and David Bednar are likewise unconfirmed possibilities. Rodriguez’s possible 2027 return and Doval’s tender decision preserve internal uncertainty.
