I think he can save the season, the organization, and his job with a press conference where he announes HOW CLOSE he got to signing good players. HOW COMPETITIVE his offers were. And HOW HARD he tried. Then release a lovely letter to the press about how hard the whole organization tried to pull off a big free agent signing. He is a true genious.

Nothing like admitting you’re a shit tier salesperson for the entire professional world to know
Yeah I do recruiting for my job and if I’d performed as poorly as he has for 6 years I’d be out. I don’t get how his excuses are sufficient, this should be results based
This subreddit in the offseason is like the Giants starting out 2-3 and someone posting the season is over because they are below .500.
The Giants signed one of the 3 biggest FA contracts this offseason. Almost every major free agent outside of Ohtani and Yamamoto, both of which went into the offseason determined to end up in LA, have yet to sign. One of the few that did, signed with SF. Almost no team in baseball outside of LA has had any major FA signing.
Can we at least wait to the end of this agonizingly long FA period before giving up?
As soon as he said Thairo is only good as a platoon player he lost me. He also mentioned expecting more from Luciano and Matos by now. They are 22 and 21 years old, anyone who thought or expected they would be MVP candidates by now is crazy. They haven’t even played full years in the bigs, yet they are lost causes? Gtfo. 2024 will be our first good look at these guys on a consistent basis and even then I don’t see either of them hitting their real stride until 2025 at the earliest.
I do agree that a trade is likely the best way to get a star for us at this point, but what an article.
It’s with snell and bellinger end of story.
He’s gotta go on a podcast and provide us a breakdown. Did I guess right?
I’m not reading that, but I’m discouraged that I haven’t paid any attention to the Giants off season for like two weeks and pretty much missed nothing.
This article is weak. Kevin pillar was a good move and was an exciting player to watch. He also didn’t trade anyone that we all regret to get pillar and Pillar went out and had the best year of his career for SF. Thairo is not a platoon player. You could argue he’s been a top 10 Second baseman over the last 2 years. Then there’s the expecting more from Matos and Luciano at age 21. They are the youngest prospects we’ve promoted in forever. Like it or not the last thing this particular team should be doing trading the farm away for any rental. If anything this Giants team should be trading away some veterans for prospects if possible and clear a path for more playing time for some of young prospects we’ve called up.
This is a shit article
Chapman, Bellinger, and Snell.. throw all the money you would have at Ohtani .. with enough low level superstars like those 3 it will be a more desireavle location going forward for other stars.. you can’t sell a superstar on being the only superstar on the team in a division with the dodgers
He ought to just come out and say “its cheap, we are cheap, we are frugal and we’ll be selling wearing walmart patches on our jersesys to commemorate the 20$ five ounce beers”
