We were frequently linked to Ponce, another SP off the board.

this one stings
I wish we would spend like that
I predict that the deals Devin Williams and Ponce signed are both going to be complete steals for the teams and they will both be highly productive for a very low cost. Giants should’ve gotten both
Surely Greg coulda afforded this one!

The Giants checking in this off-season
Too rich for Greg’s blood, need the scoop on when Patrick Corbin’s signing to be the number 3 starter.
Giants ain’t gonna do anything with pitching at this rate 🤣 #nothinglikeit
This is the first time I’ve ever heard of Cody Ponce and I’m absolutely furious about this.
Three-years, $30 million for a 31 year old with only one good season in Korea just shows how fucked the starting pitching market is. He couldn’t break the Majors for a while and was terrible in his three years in Japan.
Don’t see why there is a lot of fuss from the sub over it.
George Kittle’s brother in law!
Nah fr who tf is Cody Ponce lmao
We’re not getting shit
I can’t imagine getting mad about a guy who had a 6+ era in the majors and then blew away AA equivalent hitters for a season oversees
In fact people would be freaking out saying we are taking cheap fliers if we signed him
British slang is rough on his last name, glad he’s not a soccer (football) player.
Until the offseason/biggest moves are over, I won’t say the front office failed. But legit, if deals like Ponce for $10 mil a year fly by, and the Giants end up with a one year flyer on a washed starter they hope to reclaim, I will put zero stock in this team in 26
Go get a legit 3rd/fringe 2nd starter, and a back of the rotation SP. You have ~$60 mil to spend, we know it. Show some spine and spend
This one kinda hurts tbh. Was perfect fit for us. Either (1) we are actually being cheap, or (2) we disagree about how good ponce is, which at that price, is probably dumb.
Thank god. I hated the idea of signing this guy.

Please Sir, may we please fucking have any-fucking-FAs signed?
