After acquiring Evan Longoria earlier this week, the San Francisco Giants may be preparing to add another bat to their offense.

They are considered the favorites to sign Jay Bruce in free agency.

"I think it works out as a perfect fit for the Giants, and we have to figure out the lay of the land, whether it works for the Giants and if it works for us," agent Matt Sosnick said Wednesday on KNBR-AM. "I think if Jay ended up in San Francisco, he'd be thrilled."

Bruce was deep in talks with the Houston Astros, but those negotiations unraveled.
