Smith, 29, is coming off a stellar season for the Giants, posting a 2.55 ERA and 0.98 WHIP after making his return from Tommy John surgery in March of 2017.
The Giants have been in constant contact with the Los Angeles Angels regarding left-handed relievers Tony Watson and Will Smith, according to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic.
On Wednesday, Duane Kuiper told KNBR that he expects the Giants to trade one of their left-handed relievers, Tony Watson or Will Smith, in the coming weeks.
Although he wasn’t one of the countless fans eagerly awaiting outside of AT&T Park on Tuesday morning, Larry Baer told Murph & Mac what he’s most excited about the season-opener.
Giants beat writer Andrew Baggarly told Marty Lurie on Sunday that if Derek Holland makes the club as a reliever, the Giants may have four quality left-handed arms out of the bullpen this season.
