As March begins, Blake Snell, the reigning Cy Young Award winner, is still without a contract. As Spring Training games have commenced, Snell might have to settle for a less favorable deal than he had hoped for.

Despite his previous status as the ace for the San Diego Padres, Snell’s reported asking price of over $200 million has yet to attract any suitors. Teams appear reluctant to commit to sizable contracts for pitchers in their 30s like Snell, reflecting caution in the current free-agent market.

The San Francisco Giants have emerged as a team strongly linked to Snell this offseason, as they seek to bolster their pitching rotation with more firepower, with Snell being a potential solution to their needs.

San Diego is eager to avoid seeing Snell join a division rival, and it seems their wish may be granted. Farhan Zaidi, the Giants’ president of baseball operations, appears to have dismissed any speculation connecting San Francisco with the Cy Young Award winner.

“We’ve had ongoing discussions throughout the offseason and have remained steadfast in our commitment to developing our young players. As far as I’m concerned, the offseason is essentially concluded.”

Snell showcased remarkable performance for the Padres last season, maintaining an impressive ERA of 2.25 throughout the year. His contributions played a significant role in keeping San Diego competitive in the postseason race for an extended period. Hence, it’s somewhat surprising that he still hasn’t secured a team for the upcoming season.

The Padres would be pleased if Snell doesn’t join the Giants and opts for another team instead. They prefer not to compete against him multiple times over the coming years.

The Los Angeles Angels have also been associated with Snell, raising hopes that he might sign with them. Regardless, Snell’s free agency saga persists, making it one of the more intriguing stories in recent memory.
