MARKET SHIFTING: Giants MATCHED with Bo Bichette | The REAL REASON a TRADE hasn’t been made YET

We break down why the MLB market is clearly cooler than projections, highlighted by Munetaka Murakami settling for a short-term deal after being forecast for a massive payday. We connect that to the Giants’ patient approach, recent roster moves like DFA’ing Wade Meckler and Joey Wiemer, and growing trade buzz across the league. With Bo Bichette increasingly linked to San Francisco, teams making aggressive trades, and evidence mounting that long-term megadeals aren’t materializing, the question becomes: are the Giants waiting wisely — or running out of time? Plus, why trades might be inevitable, and what recent deals around the league tell us about where this is headed next.

    Thats a nice lineup. Need at least one more starting pitcher as well

  7. Definitely would love Bo Bichette. He was of lead the AL hits by a wide margin if he did not miss about the last month of the season. He would fit perfect batting #2 in front of Devers. I could be wrong but it appears dont won’t long term deals for pitchers but will sign position players to long term deals. We need impact talent an Bichette is an impact player. Sign Bichette, trade for a Peralta or Gore and let’s see what happens with Imai.

  13. I don’t think we’re getting Bichette. My reasoning, both the Jays and Dodgers are courting Tucker but I think ultimately the Dodgers will land Tucker which means Bichette stays put. This has the makings of the Arson Judge fiasco a few years ago. It appears Bo Baguette is headed to San Francisco

  15. All click bait. I think the Giants should develop young talent.
    Does being in on someone mean they placed a call?.
    Just signing a player for huge $.
    means very little?
    Had they play sound baseball the last 2 months of last season
    They would have won 8-9 more games and been in the wildcard
    You can have a huge payroll that’s no guarantee.
