After Ohtani’s world record $700-million deal, the Giants still have all the same needs — a marketable star, a 30-home run hitter for the first time in two decades, a core of everyday contributors.No one player will fill all their holes.

To do so, they need to devote their attention and resources to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who might just be the best pitcher aliv...
