Jung-Hoo Lee from the KBO is an alternative if the Giants can convince him to sign. Given their recent track record with free agents, I am rather skeptical they will be successful.
Other than that, Belanger is the only proven OF (chance of him signing w/ SF is low) and the Giants need a guy in the outfield who can play regularly and can make a difference both hitting and fielding.
Yep - time to take a chance and make a trade. The status quo is not acceptable.
Bob Melvin is in the mix!!

Given his strong connection to Japanese and Korean players, this would help the Giants in their effort to sign Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Lee.
It is still a dream but I think there is a decent possibility he will agree to terms with SF.

If Coach Melvin can get in a raft of Japanese and Korean stars and other free agents, communicate with a few prima donnas on the current team, improve a raft of second-year players who might be impervious to conventional improvement means, connect with the fans, bring business back to downtown SF, bring the stores back to Union Square, re-open 1,200 restaurants shut down during COVID, cure cancer and invent cold fusion, then he will satisfy the SFG fans...
Heck, I’d settle for 92 wins next season. The rest can wait…
