Ryan Vogelsong has struggled this season, but hopes the Giants pick up his $6.5 million option for 2014.
"If I was pitching better right now, it's probably not even a question," Vogelsong said of the team's decision. "But I feel I still have a lot to bring to the game and this team. It's no secret I love it here. I want to be back and hope they pick it up. If they do, I'm going to be better next year. If they don't, I'm going to be better next year."
The 36-year-old has a 5.90 ERA in 97.2 innings (18 starts) this season.
