It's like how the Twins playoff losing streak includes the Athletics too, but Minnesota only ever blames the Yankees.
"SF signed Correa?! It's the Yankees' fault!"
I don’t think you have to worry about us getting Correa, we always lose out on major free agents as well. I have a feeling the Padres are going to offer him the world.
Or, more accurately, Cronenworth and Kim shifting right in the infield. The “San Diego Shortstops” jokes have been that there is a real possibility that the Padres line up on opening day with a starting lineup that has 6 of 8 fielding positions occupied by shortstops (Nola, Cronenworth, Kim, Machado, ???, Tatis).
What do you mean giving up Kim’s glove? Four gold glove-quality middle infielders playing 1B (Cronenworth) to 3B (Machado) across the infield, with Kim and whoever the Padres would sign in this scenario up the middle, is *using* the value of that glove.
The answer the Padres are entertaining to “how do you align/build an infield post-shift?” is trot out MLB-caliber shortstops at all 4 infield slots.
Is it a good idea? I don’t know. Is it cost effective? Probably not. Is it something I’d love to see? Yes.
What I’m saying is that all those guys except Kim have exceptional bats and gloves. Kim, being the best fielder and the worst bat should stay at short. Unless y’all sign Dansby or Correa, then I could see Kim move to second
All I’m going off is the Padres offered $360 mil to Turner. I’d imagine they’d do the same with Correa. I’m likely wrong, but they seem to be showing up with major offers for every player.
You must’ve missed the Padres going in on Turner and talking about Xander.
Tatis to the outfield is a real possibility that the front office has entertained. These signings would be for someone to play alongside Tatis.
I feel like our teams have a good chance of finishing dead last, but we will never pick #1 overall, probably will go to Chicago again. The Ducks are coming up on 30 years and have yet to pick first overall despite some real stinker years. Fortunately this draft is stacked 1-4 with Bedard, Fantilli, Michkov, and Carlsson that it's a decent year to be terrible regardless as at least 3 of those have franchise player ceilings.
We're in the running. The point total is inflated a bit since we've played more than most of the other contenders.
Not that it matters they'd never let us win the lottery.
I think where he's coming from is that Dansby's best hitting year is a 115 OPS+. That's not fantastic for someone who is going to be demanding a big contract. He's never strung the bat together for a full season either. His second half last year was below league average.
Meanwhile Correa has 6/8 seasons with a higher OPS+ than Dansby's best.
He’s got one of the worst shortstop arms in baseball if you actually dig into the metrics, sweet glove though. Would love to see the Giants drop $100 mil plus on a downgrade from Crawford 😈
Lmao the only time we signed a big time FA and got a bat was Bonds. And he only came to SF cause he grew up with us when his Dad played on the team & the fact that Willie Mays is his freaking godfather.
That’s what it takes for us to get a FA
Same, I was worried Yankees would sign Correa and Nimmo or Rodon with the Judge money which would have been a lot smarter use of resources. They're still super top heavy on offence.
It’s not because of the Giants, he’s just going to use them to run up his price so he can sign with the Dodgers, or the Padres, or the Mets or somewhere people actually want to play for some reason.
Haniger puts up 45 HR next season, Joey Bart hits above the Mendoza line, boom. Just like that the Giants get the wild card and promptly get knocked out by the Padres who manage to stay mediocre again too.
Not super filled in on San Fran, but wouldn’t the next logical target be Nimmo, or at least Nimmo AND another big name, would probably be spending similar money
Wouldn’t be the first Georgia boy to be embraced by the city…
Posey was generally quiet about politics, but is a white man from Leesburg. Make your own inferences.
A guy who goes undercover in rodeos from small town North Carolina is another fan favorite.
I’m done reading these updates until the contracts are signed. These guys are all full of shit.
Nah just Boob and Heyman
Lol jump into this dick
Got em
pls not carlos
If them losing out on Aaron Judge causes us to lose out on Correa, I'm gonna be pissed. Why is it always the Yankees
when in doubt the twins will be fucked by the yankees
It's like how the Twins playoff losing streak includes the Athletics too, but Minnesota only ever blames the Yankees. "SF signed Correa?! It's the Yankees' fault!"
It's easy to blame the Yankees when 13 out of 16 losses were against them
If the Yankees really are Minnesota Kryptonite, then it sounds like they had 3 whole chances to break the streak.
I don’t think you have to worry about us getting Correa, we always lose out on major free agents as well. I have a feeling the Padres are going to offer him the world.
I'm not sure about the Padres. Doing that would basically signal that Tatis is done in SD which I'm not sure they want to get into at the moment
They have been planning on moving him to the OF regardless, all it would signal would be Kim moved to the bench
Or, more accurately, Cronenworth and Kim shifting right in the infield. The “San Diego Shortstops” jokes have been that there is a real possibility that the Padres line up on opening day with a starting lineup that has 6 of 8 fielding positions occupied by shortstops (Nola, Cronenworth, Kim, Machado, ???, Tatis).
Most of Kim’s worth comes from his glove, would they really be fine giving that up?

No worries. We don't get the big fish.
Bro they’re gonna chuck absolutely ridiculous money at him. Farhan’s blood is definitely up.
if the giants fail to sign any of judge turner or correa and instead sign dansby swanson i will become a hockey fan
How are the San Jose Sharks doing?
Yeah, not good... they're in the basement along with my team: the anaheim ducks
Need to bring back those sweet Mighty Ducks unis for good and trash the orange ones.
Agree, I miss the eggplant jerseys like you wouldn't believe
Top-tier unis worthy of the Stanley Cup.
We suck but won’t suck enough to get Bedard. It’s bleak.
I feel like our teams have a good chance of finishing dead last, but we will never pick #1 overall, probably will go to Chicago again. The Ducks are coming up on 30 years and have yet to pick first overall despite some real stinker years.

Sharks are doing that bad. Bottom 5 right now in points / game, last I checked.
EK65 keeps us from being worst of the worst. Mans is too good.
Bad time to be a hockey fan in the Bay Area
if the giants don’t fail to sign carlos correa i will become a hockey fan
Lol we're not even getting Dansby Swanson
Dansby is good what
He's alright. Mediocre bat, decent defence
Dude hit 25 HRs last year, won a Gold Glove, and had a 5.7 WAR I’ll take that any day of the week
I think where he's coming from is that Dansby's best hitting year is a 115 OPS+. That's not fantastic for someone who is going to be demanding a big contract. He's never strung the bat together for a full season either. His second half last year was below league average. Meanwhile Correa has 6/8 seasons with a higher OPS+ than Dansby's best.
Crawford had a 6.1 BWar in 2021. Should Giants have signed him to a 200 mill contract the next year? One year outliers dont mean much
What did he do the rest of his career
Posted virtually identical numbers in ‘21?
He had an OPS+ of 99
He’s got one of the worst shortstop arms in baseball if you actually dig into the metrics, sweet glove though. Would love to see the Giants drop $100 mil plus on a downgrade from Crawford 😈
That’s at least worth one Jeff McNeill
I'd consider him better than mediocre.
Mediocre? Did we watch the same season... he ks a lot but he was top 10 in hits last year with 99 runs and 96 rbis
One year of good hitting during your contract year does not make you not mediocre.
Yep. He’s actually been below average (or even well below average) more often than not based on OPS+
Nah
Hey let's not go crazy now
Doesn’t bode well for the Giants future in signing FA’s that they couldn’t even lure life-long fan and the home town hero even with the highest offer.
The giants have never been very good at signing FAs lol
Well, except for that one in the early 90s. That worked out pretty well.
It's been the same story as long as I can remember. Even coming off multiple WS wins we were the bridesmaid.
Lmao the only time we signed a big time FA and got a bat was Bonds. And he only came to SF cause he grew up with us when his Dad played on the team & the fact that Willie Mays is his freaking godfather. That’s what it takes for us to get a FA
We'll take Dansby
Be a 49ers fan at least they get free agents
Nice I prefer that to Nimmo. Was afraid If Judge signed in SF Nimmo would be in pinstripes
Same, I was worried Yankees would sign Correa and Nimmo or Rodon with the Judge money which would have been a lot smarter use of resources. They're still super top heavy on offence.
They might still get Rodon
It would've been hard to imagine Nimmo without his luxurious flowing beard
His what now? Is this a wooosh moment for me? He’s clean shaven?
I'm being sarcastic because he's maybe the least bearded guy in the MLB
Lol just making sure haha
Can’t wait to finish 2nd in all those ones, too.
Judge signing has just killed off our hopes of Correa completely
It’s not because of the Giants, he’s just going to use them to run up his price so he can sign with the Dodgers, or the Padres, or the Mets or somewhere people actually want to play for some reason.
2nd fiddle pickings
Hey any second fiddle would fit right in here, what do you think SF stands for
Danby
Fuck this franchise relegate us to AAA
Haniger puts up 45 HR next season, Joey Bart hits above the Mendoza line, boom. Just like that the Giants get the wild card and promptly get knocked out by the Padres who manage to stay mediocre again too.
If all those things happened, I'd lick your butt jimothy
Mitch has to be healthy for more than 2 months, but he does have the potential to ball
Right right..
Stay away from my X /s
Not super filled in on San Fran, but wouldn’t the next logical target be Nimmo, or at least Nimmo AND another big name, would probably be spending similar money
Correa and Nimmo would be a massive success.
I give us a 0% chance
Nimmo seems so overrated for a $100 mill contract. but they got no choice to save face
[удалено]
He's a HUGE injury risk. 69, 55 92. Those are the amount of games he played before last year. He's only getting older
Can play anywhere in the OF, elite OBP, solid bat. He's worth it.
As a Cards fan, I want Dansby. Gonna be cheaper for a decent bat and a potential GG defense.
Stop
NO U
Super-conservative Dansby Swanson in SF would be something.
Wouldn’t be the first Georgia boy to be embraced by the city… Posey was generally quiet about politics, but is a white man from Leesburg. Make your own inferences. A guy who goes undercover in rodeos from small town North Carolina is another fan favorite.
Thinking Correa and Bogaerts may not happen. Want one of them but would be perfectly okay with Swanson.
I’ll believe it when I see it
