Haven’t started the video yet but IMO I think it’s Bellinger. 28 and can provide star power and OF stability. I have more trust that they’ll find another pitching gem but doubt they’ll have more chances at a young star
I think he would probably sign a pillow contract or a one year plus lower player option coming off his lost season. That should be attractive to the Giants.
In my dream scenario the Giants trade Conforto (probably paying off a chunk of his remaining salary), sign Hoskins, and have Wade Jr play left field again.
Honestly would like to see Giants try to be creative and trade away their excess OF/older players and maybe do a 3 team trade where they get back an SP. If that doesn’t work, do what Farhan does best and work around the margins. If 100% healthy, someone like Kiké Hernandez. Someone that can play SS (to backup Luciano) and be utility role. Assuming that isn’t going to Tahiro. Don’t want to see Schmitt to play SS anymore. For SP, again if only 100% healthy maybe someone like Ryu might be a good pick up. I do agree a front line starter is needed for the Giants, but not 100% sold on either Snell or Montgomery. They will command/want too many years and not sure they will be in their primes when prospects are getting promoted. Don’t personally like the current roster contraction of the Giants. A lot of misfit piece that seem to work together but not sure how stable it is for 162 game seasons.
There's one way to rid this team of OF surplus, and that's sign a real DH. If Zaidi gets JD Martinez, then Giants can trade Conforto, Sabol and Flores in return for more pitching. Also, it brings thump into the lineup and opens up spots for defenders who were taught, as a pre-teen and young teen, how to play "real" baseball despite being taught nothing by youth coaches. This utility, platoon player line up Zaidi dreams up just doesn't result in strong defense no matter who's coaching these 2nd tier misfits with two left feet.
There's strong rumors again the Padres are willing to trade Kim. I would trade one of the outfield players and get Ballinger and trade for Kim. That would give them a solid SS and let the rookie develop some more. That gives them two more big bats and covers second base.
I'm not sold they're actually trying. They have one thing to offer free agents, most money. They haven't done it. I like the positivity but at some point media that covers the Giants need to tell fans to show up with pitchforks and ask for heads to roll. Ownership needs to start taking chances, open your pocket books.
If Zaidi can't talk JD Martinez into coming to SF, and that's a real possibility. Then, Giants need to go after Hyun Jin Ryu, because it may benefit them if they can get 20 starts out of that guy to save their bullpen, and it would help their team culture now that Jung Hoo Lee's on the team. Once you have lefty Ryu, Giants won't feel obligated to a blackmail signing for 10 yrs of Snell.
At the start of the offseason, I was against signing Bellinger. After giving it more thought (and the Giants striking out miserably on Ohtani and Yamamoto), I think he could be a good fit. Pros: Adds athleticism, power, speed, and he’s versatile defender (can play 1B and all outfield spots at a high level), he’s still young (28), coming off a good year. He would be a middle of the lineup type hitter for a team that desperately needs it and he’s marketable to fans. Cons: Could go back to being dog shit (like his 2020-2022 seasons), strikes out a lot and he’ll be expensive. The years/$ amount he’ll demand might not be worth it. Honestly I'm just getting desperate for them to sign a player with proven talent. Please, for the love of god, don't sign Matt Chapman (they probably will).
A blockbuster trade with the Miami Marlins for Lois Aariz who's hitting over 300 and that 26yr old pitching stud Jesus Lazardo and if the SFGIANTS don't want a trade like that than they just don't want to win.
Kerry, Snell is going to age like milk with that walk rate. Snell has Keuchel vibes written all over him. As for signing 1 guy to get into contention I think that is a pipe dream that is best to put to rest. This team has too many hypotheticals to be thought of as contenders. Signing a player to an albatross contract when this team doesn't have an anchor is how we end up the mid 00's and early 10's Mariners. If Snell or Hoskins is willing to do a 2-3 year deal then I'd say sure why not but 5-7 years on these guys? Pass. Nothing is likely to come up anyway considering how the Giants walked away from Imanaga whom I thought was paid rather reasonably.
Corbin Burnes is a free agent after next season. If I'm choosing between Snell and Burnes to pay in excess of $25 million a year, I'm definitely going with Burnes. Lots of expiring deals after next season for the Giants: Cobb, Stripling, Jackson, Flores, Davis, Conforto, and Slater... We had all those potentially exciting rookies play last year. If the real recipe for success for the Giants is a homegrown core, why should we block any of those players in their development with veterans of this FA class who have such huge question marks, and who Boras will make us grossly overpay for? The way I'm seeing it, we let the young guys develop in 2024, all those veterans come off the books, we give starting jobs to the guys who earned them, then add FAs accordingly around our new core. If we want 2024 to not totally be a wash, sure, add Hoskins on a one year deal... Long story short, we've built an insanely dysfunctional roster over the last few years and it might not be the wisest thing to add to it rn
I think the Giants can afford to add both Snell this offseason and Burnes next offseason. The payroll table, as you note, looks clean or very clean depending on what Robbie Ray does with the optout. When the Giants let Gausman walk and signed Carlos Rodón, many journalists and fans looked at Rodón as replacing Gausman but there was easily enough payroll space to fit both onto the roster. It was a false choice the Giants could easily have afforded both and been under $200M in payroll. I don't think Giants fans should fall into a similar trap. The Giants have a difficult time accessing top tier free agent talent and the market for Burnes is going to be robust. If the Giants can get Snell on a reasonable over pay they should consider doing it. It's been reported that Snell has a preference for the west coast (as he's originally from the Puget Sound area). Corbin Burnes is from the greater LA area and went to St. Mary's College so he's a California guy with some Bay Area ties but unlike the reporting on Snell, there's no indication that Burnes actively prefers the west coast. When the regionality topic comes up in interviews Burnes is very disciplined and almost seems to go out of his way to say he doesn't have a preference on region.
Giants acquired Lee, Ray, Hicks, Hopkins and Murphy while Dodgers got Ohtani, Yamamoto, Glasnow, Hernandez and Margo. Giants are puny mortals vs greek gods, and Zaidi will roll the Sisyphus rock uphill with futility only for Giants players and fans to get crushed on it's way back down. Their most important concern hasn't been addressed, and that was lack of health, defense and team speed. How will one blockbuster FA make them competitive with a super team or get them in the postseason?
The Giants currently have 39 guys on the 40 man roster. So realistically they can only sign one free agent at this time. That is unless, they are willing to DFA one of the players they picked up this off season (Sweet or Hopkins). Everyone knows they are going to be forced to trade Bart this off season. I would think they might be thinking of packaging him with JD Davis or Villar (along with a young pitcher) to get someone like Kim out of San Diego. I think the Padres have a good catching prospect so Bart might not be that interesting to them. And I think they might have to give up an outfielder (they’d probably want Matos). But Kim only has one year left on his contract. So maybe Ramos would be enough. Anyway, I think a trade is coming before another free agent signing.
Hader has also been very reluctant to pitch four outs. Hadn't done so since 2020. Early in the season Josh said he needed to save his arm for the postseason. Later in the season, he said it because they were out of the playoff race. It became a source of contention with the fanbase.
@@myt_30 The way to do this is have depth and flexibility. That and young prospects bode for success. And the starters are not worth the ridiculous amounts anyway
The Giants are too cheap to make any blockbuster moves. It’s all going to be discount moneyball dumpster diving deals AS USUAL 🙄. But hey, they just hired Dusty Baker back…..maybe he can help them “see the light.” (lol)
@@5TUNT1N I wonder if Kim's availability and the delay in Chapman's signing are related. If Kim comes to the Giants and signs long term, I don't think the Giants would sign Chapman. They might because Kim is an elite defender at 3 positions but I only see that if Luciano is going to SDP.
I know only one but after much thought, Bellinger. Will allow them to move some of their mediocre outfielders. Too good an athlete to put at 1B. Young! Add another FA hitter (Hoskins) then trade for Burnes and would be a good off-season. Top it off with trying to acquire inf (Kim)
If we have learned anything from Farhan is he is clueless when it comes to acquiring difference making position players from an offensive perspective. His 3 top moves in this area have been pretty disastorous, so why should we expect anything less. We shouldnt. If the past is a predictor of the future, whoever else Farhan brings in will underperform also. He is an expert at filling the back end of the roster abd bringing in pitching reclamation projects, but he has been at or below average in almost every other area. But as long as the Johnsons are profitible, don't expect any major changes. If Farhan get another shot after he fails miserably with the SF Giants, he would be much better served going to a small market with a cheap owner. We have a cheap controlling owner (and his clueless nepo kid) in a large market with much higher expectations. It's not a great match: incompetence at both levels. But hey, at least Farhan can name drop posey and baker while he very poorly attempts to sell us on his crap version of baseball. And I don't blame Baker, getting money thrown at him and a free invitation to the park, all for the rights to use his name. 😂
So we have very little power, one of the least athletic teams, one of the worst defenses, at this point one real starting pitcher that isn’t injured and have wiffed on every single free agent we have set our sites on. Do we really think one player no matter who that person is will fo anything at all to help? Trippin.
Kerry - as the international free agent class kicks off today I see San Diego signing the top teen prospect. giants grab the no. 37 pick. why is this the best they can do? Makes no sense. Is this abysmal showing bc of FZ? Why is SF not a worry destination?
Ryse Hoskins, Chapman, Bellinger, Trade everybody for Corbin Burns and Christian Yelich. Unfortunately Farthead Zaidi won't get his head out of his ass and he will miss out on everyone available.
No matter what you offer!! No one is coming!! Not burnes, not alonzo, not bregman, not goldy, next year FA, frenzy, is three times bigger!! And sf, will get no one. Why come to sf? Not a single reason.
i will sign chapman for sure because of his defense save a lot of runs. bellinger i dont see him be here oracle park is home run killer. Jordan montgomery dont think he will left texas rangers. Snell dont need 200 m farhan will never sign any pitcher over 5 years i will do what dodgers do sign snell for 200 m but defer money like 10 m a year and 150 m defer after he retire
@hopespringseternal2624 calm down there was a report that came out saying he turned down the Yankees offer and supposedly he wanted 7-9 year 200 plus mill. So that's why the Yankees switched to Marcus and why the giants switched to hicks.
@hopespringseternal2624 and have you seen his stats the years he doesn't win cy young? Dude has only pitched 180 innings twice and didn't go over. And he walks a ton of batters. I'm not saying the dude is horrible I'm saying I don't think he's worth what they want
@hopespringseternal2624 wow bro calm down, its not that big a deal. I'm just telling you I saw, if someone miss reported it doesn't make me a liar. And I'm not gonna do the research for you.
Honestly I dont think the Giants will make the playoffs this year, if the do though great. However I think they should get Belli, he is still young and if the Giants have a good year then they can build off that with a young core and go to next free agency sign Kim, and sign a pitcher. I believe its all for 2025
Give me this lineup RF Yaz CF Lee LF Matos 3B Schmitt SS Luciano 2B Estrada 1B Hoskins C Bailey DH Wade/Davis Bench Murphy, Flores, Fitzgerald, Sabol. I’m so out on Conforto and Slater
Snell is the one guy I’d like them to get most. They need a #2 starter so they aren’t putting too much stress on Ray or Cobb once they return or their young starters to be top of the rotation arms
I'd go for Bellinger. He's still young, has great power, and can play OF and 1B. Also, then they could package some of their other OFs, and a young pitcher or two, in a big trade for more pitching.
@@morcatna4767 no thanks I’d rather have Hoskins full time at base way cheaper tell Bryce Eldridge develops to take over 1B. No need for Bellinger, no need for any more ex dodgers. They already have athletes in Lee, Yaz, Matos, Ramos and Fitzgerald to track down fly balls. Bellinger is way too volatile anyways in his production. He’s 2 years away from being Joc 2.0 as well. Definitely no thanks. Give me Hoskins on the way cheaper. And play the kids so they can prove to Soto and Burnes next offseason they are ready to rock and roll in 2025. 2024 is about pitching and the youth movement. If it’s about Conforto and Slater again then Farhan should be fired
I lasted ten full minutes watching brodie, Brazil and guest from sf giant fanship, discuss how sf, fans should be content for at least another century! Because we got three world series!!! Sf, is the most successful team over the last 20 years in the game!! Spoiled we are, and tho deserving as we waited five decades, we are now undeserving, based on brazile, and his guests, view of the past? Their assessment, colored by healthy doses of love for the choking Oakland G ays, is common in the industry. Everyone expects SF to ripoff fans play schitty, screw trade stars, including mays, threaten to move to Tampa bay! Which would have meant better farm system!! Right!!! Lol lol lol and a series, who'd a thunk it.but five hundred million shouldn't go to players right!!!!!! Wed rather lose, but have a richer owner with a bigger yacht, more rembrandts!!!! Right! You fans here on this thread are completely stunted!!!!
I would like Snell. However that would take the Giants up to the first luxury tax threshold. Not sure if they will go over that. They could also get Solar and Hoskins go barely over then trade someone out to get under if that’s what they want.
@@GrandAdmiralShanahan I like Peralta also. The issue with Alexander for me is that he’s really more of a specialist and I think that suits Kapler’s sort of chess game type approach but I hope Melvin moves away from that somewhat. Moore and Peralta can attack both handed hitters and can go multiple innings… that flexibility is more valuable than specialization.
Sf will sit smugly on what they got, I predicted this on Larry Krueger hread, its totally come true. Not a single addition. Nothing. You talk up ray, hicks, I laugh!!! Good luck!! One is TJ rehab, the other a setup man. You have only one starter. You start the season in last place at every aspect of the game, accept BP. And BP is the last the final element you build, after you are done with rotation, and Defense!! WTF r u doing??? No starters no position players, you hit 230% bottom of mlb! Worst!! Your FP% and errors, are the worst in the entire mlb!!!! You spend money on wax, and tire shine, for a car that don't run? Now you got fans worked into a frenzy, thinking your buying them a hood ornament!!! From a rolls, putting it on your vwbug.
Starting Meckler in CF would easily give us 5 extra wins a year
Haven’t started the video yet but IMO I think it’s Bellinger. 28 and can provide star power and OF stability. I have more trust that they’ll find another pitching gem but doubt they’ll have more chances at a young star
Rhys Hoskins. Why to bring legit power and playoff experience to the lineup.
Agreed I'd rather have him over Chapman
I think he would probably sign a pillow contract or a one year plus lower player option coming off his lost season. That should be attractive to the Giants.
Rather have jd Martinez and Chapman/bellinger
@@5TUNT1N no thanks that’s a horrible trio
In my dream scenario the Giants trade Conforto (probably paying off a chunk of his remaining salary), sign Hoskins, and have Wade Jr play left field again.

I'd go for Bellinger. He's still young, has great power, and can play OF and 1B. Also, then they could package some of their other OFs, and a young pitcher or two, in a big trade for more pitching.
👎 Brett Butler
Cody B. Age ,defense and good offense
No thanks
1st Hoskins
2nd Estrada
3rd Chapman
SS Luciano
C Bailey
LF Bellinger
CF Lee
RF Yelich
DH Wade/Flores
Frankly I think it would be stupid to sign Bellinger after signing Lee. Lee signed to play center so why rock the boat
I agree. I’d rather sign Hoskins and a lefty reliever.
What if he played first base full time?
@@morcatna4767 Why spend the money that he wants on a first baseman when you can aquire power hitting Rhys Hoskins for less plus he's local
@@morcatna4767 no thanks I’d rather have Hoskins full time at base way cheaper tell Bryce Eldridge develops to take over 1B. No need for Bellinger, no need for any more ex dodgers. They already have athletes in Lee, Yaz, Matos, Ramos and Fitzgerald to track down fly balls. Bellinger is way too volatile anyways in his production. He’s 2 years away from being Joc 2.0 as well. Definitely no thanks. Give me Hoskins on the way cheaper. And play the kids so they can prove to Soto and Burnes next offseason they are ready to rock and roll in 2025. 2024 is about pitching and the youth movement. If it’s about Conforto and Slater again then Farhan should be fired
I like your reasons, I like Hoskins too!
Rhys Hoskins. 5'10 Lamonte Wade is not a major league starting first baseman. Need a threat in the middle of the line up
I lasted ten full minutes watching brodie, Brazil and guest from sf giant fanship, discuss how sf, fans should be content for at least another century! Because we got three world series!!! Sf, is the most successful team over the last 20 years in the game!! Spoiled we are, and tho deserving as we waited five decades, we are now undeserving, based on brazile, and his guests, view of the past? Their assessment, colored by healthy doses of love for the choking Oakland G ays, is common in the industry. Everyone expects SF to ripoff fans play schitty, screw trade stars, including mays, threaten to move to Tampa bay! Which would have meant better farm system!! Right!!! Lol lol lol and a series, who'd a thunk it.but five hundred million shouldn't go to players right!!!!!! Wed rather lose, but have a richer owner with a bigger yacht, more rembrandts!!!! Right! You fans here on this thread are completely stunted!!!!
Jd martinez , chapman, hoskins
I would like Snell. However that would take the Giants up to the first luxury tax threshold. Not sure if they will go over that. They could also get Solar and Hoskins go barely over then trade someone out to get under if that’s what they want.
The Giants won't sign any more Scott Boris clients. They want too much money and too many years.
agree
Julio Urias and Clayton Kershaw
Wandy Peralta, Matt Moore, or Scott Alexander as the lefty reliever targets
I'm in on Matt Moore out on Scott Alexander.
@@JayO-wx3ej Moore is cool I’d take Wandy too. Yeah Alexander is kinda washed. I agree with you
@@GrandAdmiralShanahan I like Peralta also. The issue with Alexander for me is that he’s really more of a specialist and I think that suits Kapler’s sort of chess game type approach but I hope Melvin moves away from that somewhat. Moore and Peralta can attack both handed hitters and can go multiple innings… that flexibility is more valuable than specialization.
@@JayO-wx3ej what’s cool is Wandy and Moore are both former Giants, wouldn’t mind ether one coming back
Rhys hoskins and snell
Chapman and Soler. Done.
Jorge Soler and put him at D H
At this moment I like what they’ve done…but just sign some guys …honestly don’t care about “what if’s” really don’t…sign em
cody bellinger because the lineup is super bad. There is some hope with the young starters. There’s zero hope with the lineup as of right now imo.
No thanks
Sf will sit smugly on what they got, I predicted this on Larry Krueger hread, its totally come true. Not a single addition. Nothing. You talk up ray, hicks, I laugh!!! Good luck!! One is TJ rehab, the other a setup man. You have only one starter. You start the season in last place at every aspect of the game, accept BP. And BP is the last the final element you build, after you are done with rotation, and Defense!! WTF r u doing??? No starters no position players, you hit 230% bottom of mlb! Worst!! Your FP% and errors, are the worst in the entire mlb!!!! You spend money on wax, and tire shine, for a car that don't run? Now you got fans worked into a frenzy, thinking your buying them a hood ornament!!! From a rolls, putting it on your vwbug.
