The San Francisco Giants have declined 2016 contract options on outfielders Nori Aoki and Marlon Byrd.

Aoki and Byrd became free agents on Wednesday night, but the Giants haven't ruled out re-signing either player.

"It's just tough timing for us to make decisions right now relative to (Aoki's) situation given a pretty good list of things we need to do this winter."

"To predetermine left field today is just premature," general manager Bobby Evans said.
