To the Giants: Another big infield bat
2B Bo Bichette (Rank: 4)
The Giants have won between 79-81 games in each of the past four seasons and have just one season with a win percentage over .500 (and one with a playoff berth) since 2017. It’s a team very much in need of star-level talent, even after the recent acquisitions of third baseman Matt Chapman, shortstop Willy Adames and first baseman Rafael Devers. Tucker or one of the market’s top starting pitchers would also make sense here, but Bichette would fill a potential weak spot at second — where they project near the bottom of the league — and round out a star-studded (if expensive) infield. His contact-oriented, line-drive approach could also be a good fit at Oracle Park, an extremely tough venue for home runs but one that’s favorable for other types of hits.

Bo would be cool and seems like a plus even if he is out of his natural defensive position, but I think I’ve been convinced by the folks on here who point out even with the recent acquisitions more energy should probably be spent on getting pitching even if it means giving Schmitt/Koss/Fitz more chances for now.
Bo is an elite bat. Go get him!
Bichette is a near perfect fit, but they’re not going to shell out what it takes to get him
I’m fine with it IF they follow it up with a package of one of Casey/Fitz/Koss and Wisenhunt for Bubic.
Thank God for AI I would hate to think an actual human being had to interupt their holiday with the family to pump out 1000 words on off season empty office no one returning your calls because nothing is going on in the industry you are supposted to be reporting on. I’m looking forward to the: “even in the dead of winter grounds keepers have to tend the grass to create the emerald tones of our summer dreams.” article.
