3. Alex Wood won't be back with the Giants next season

Wood's 2023 season was a real struggle for the once-dependable lefty. He went 5-5 in 29 games for the Giants, 12 of which he started and two of which he finished. He had a 4.33 ERA over 97.2 innings.

The Braves drafted wood. He was traded to the Dodgers, where he stayed for four seasons. He was part of a multi-player deal that sent him and Yasiel Puig to the Cincinnati Reds, where he remained for a season. He was signed back to the Dodgers in free agency for another season. He went to the Giants in free agency in 2021.

In a good season, Wood is an excellent low-end rotation option in a good season. But due to injuries, his role has changed as he's more of a long relief option. But he's a real risk and that's why he will not be back with the Giants as they are ready to move on.
