The San Francisco Giants are looking to add a starting pitcher and would prefer to add an elite one to start a second playoff game behind Madison Bumgarner in October.

Their focus is reportedly on Cole Hamels and David Price, but other teams claim San Francisco has also checked in on Yovani Gallardo, Jeff Samardzija and Mike Leake.

San Francisco was in on Johnny Cueto and Scott Kazmir before they were dealt to the Kansas City Royals and Houston Astros, respectively.
