With Tucker traded to Cubs how about a trade for Suzuki? Casey Schmidt, Yaz, and a pitcher, maybe one of the Carsons.

Still a ways away behind the Dodgers and that pitching staff - Snell, Yamamoto, Ohtani (assuming he's good to go), Beuhler, and if they get that Sasaki guy, it's over. Every night they'll throw a top 10 MLB pitcher at you...but....health may be an issue.

With the past disappointments failing to land players long term and all the opt out deals forever, landing the Adames deal alone is exciting! The Chapman extension was great, but it was not fun to spend months thinking he'd be gone after the season. One of the biggest knocks I had against Zaidi was that he was never a player other than maybe little league or something the Dodgers Friedman went to Tulane an a Baseball scholarship. I think guys like Zaidi can be great, but not the PBO.

Burnes to the G-Men is a SICK # 1 or # 2! Burnes is a WORKHORSE, just like Webbie! Combine that with a healthy Robbie Ray (who used to beat us like a drum when he was with the D-Backs) and NOW you've got a GREAT # 1 through # 3 and you let the youngsters in # 4 and # 5 positions pitch and figure it out (Harrison, Black, et. al). Our bullpen...RIGHT NOW!…is very, very good! Pitching and defense. If you can extend Kyle Tucker and trade: Schmidt, Duval, Yaz, and another player...DO IT!

If you can then sign Kyle Tucker in LF and get him to extend BEFORE the signing, we must do it! Never mind the draft; forget the tax! Compete for a Wild Card position NOW! Adames, Burned and Tucker? Question: How could we HOPE for more than that to improve for 2025? Answer: WE CAN'T. Get it done Giants and Let's Go! 2025.

Before free agency started I rated Burnes higher than Snell. The reasons why? First, age. He’s younger than Snell. Second, durability. He’s a workhorse who doesn’t have a past riddled with injury. Snell does. There are a lot of reasons why Burnes to SF just makes so much sense

Snell has had two cy young years, and a lot of mediocre ones. He did pitch like a Cy Young winner the 2nd half of last year, but who knows how he'll be age 32-36. Definitely will start to slow down some. Not worth a long term risk...Dodgers have money to burn so they can take that chance.
@brentwalker5726 42 минут бұрын
When Snell in healthy & has command, he is the most dominant pitcher in the league...for 5 or 6 innings. Burnes is more consistent and has more stamina. I'd MUCH rather give a bag to Burnes.

Ben as far as strikeout rate. It may not be an issue. Pitchers as they mature they may pitch to contact to save on pitch count and be able to go deeper into games

Agreed, HOWEVER...with relievers playing a more important part in pitching and with starters going fewer innings on almost EVERY MLB roster...it's important to understand the "trend" of starters not seeing a hitting line-up three times through. We need and want Burnes!...as for Tucker, sign an extension, or don't sign him at all.

Ben, Adames might be a good signing, but he's not going to sell an extra thousand or two thousand tickets per game. Normal, fair weather baseball fan who has no idea where Willy Adames started his career! Adames is no, Harper, Ohtani, Judge or Bonds who draw fans. Would Posey on his own ever drawn fans if the team didn't win 3 world series? I like the signing, but he woun't move the needle where the attendance gate is concerned unless the giants win the division and they go get a flashy, top flight trade figure.

How many A's fans do you know that all of the sudden are going to become Giants fans? Sure you might get 100 baseball fans per game that miss it so bad they'll come just because. Remember that the Giants Voted Yes for the A's to move and Said NO to the A's playing in SF at Oracle Park. The Giants effectivley pushed the Giants out the door.

Ben, Corbin Burnes... NFW. With Max Fried signing with the Yankees for 8 years at $218M, are the Giants going to sign Burnes to a $27.5M x 8 years, equaling a $220M contract! He's a fastball/cutter pitcher who once he loses his fastball velo, then what??? Remember Madison Bumgarner, and Tim Linsecum? They were fastball pitchers who lost the fastball/cutter velo and flamed out in their early 30s.... Let Boston sign him, and get stuck with 5 years of $131.25M dead weight contract they just have to eat. Have you heard of Patrick Corbin, weill his 6 year $140M signing got the Nationals 47-77 record and a great 5.11era! the man couldn't be moved due to the contract. The Nat's couldn't not pitch him. That's all the Giants need is another bad pitcher like Barry Zito, or Arizona signed with Madison Bumgarner, or the Corbin deal with Washington. I say no to Burnes at this crazy number!

If you refuse to sign players because the back third of their contract might not age well, you'll never sign a single free agent. Sometimes signing talented, all-star caliber players involves risk but worrying about the billionaires and their wallets is a ridiculous thing for any fan to consider. Not to mention the Lincecum and Bumgarner deals you seem to hate also included multiple world series rings. The Giants would be crazy not to aggressively pursue a player like Burnes.

I know for a fact that if there was no worry about going over a cap and players salaries weren't a factor, I'd want Soto in Right, Healthy Trout in Center, Judge in Left, Chapman at Third, Witt Jr at Short, Semien at second, Harper at First, Contreras catching, Othani DH/Starting pictcher. plus Sale, Skubal, Wheeler, Corbin Burnes, Webb and Emmanuel Clase as the Closer and take my chances.

@jesusoftheapes 4 күн бұрын
As a Brewers fan I can say we will miss you greatly Willy but for the Giants you got a player who if you do not accept that he will chase pitches that he should never chase A LOT you will learn to love Willy . Adames is STREAKY and is frustrating as hell to be a fan of and his defense is BAD . What I saw in 2024 was a player playing for a contract and fighting back the reality his abilities are slipping . The best years of Adames have past but even so as a Giant you will get a 20 homer per year player and he will win you no less than 10 games because he is clutch to his core and comes up big when he is needed in regular season play. As for playoffs you might as well put someone else on the roster because he simply does not show up for the playoffs EVER ! Willy is a Regular season star who has no greatness in him beyond that last game. In the playoffs he shrinks like a prune . It sounds like I am in hate of Willy Adames and to some extent I am a guy who is happy to see him leave. Willy has been maddening for years in to levels few who have not had him on roster can understand. HOWEVER I am NOT saying he is a bad signing. $182 million is a bit CRAZY for Willy Adames but that is baseball 2024 . Adames is NOT one of the best Shortstops in the game. He is a AVERAGE player with the ability to hit offspeed Yard. He is really bad against breaking balls though he hits most of his homers off them. Figure that out. However his defense was TERRIBLE last season and it cost us a playoff series . You got a guy who will make you mad ! I promise you that but if you can get past his shortcomings you have the nicest player in the league who will mentor young players like a coach and who will make your entire team better. While he misses on many at bats when he is hot he is as dangerous as ANY player with a bat in his hand. His hot streaks are short lived but come around about every 3 weeks. He is a LEADER and he will lead your team in a way that it has been lacking for a decade. Willy will bring you 10 more wins than without him and that ain't BS . The Giants are more broke than ever before because of Willy Adames but they are also much better and will be more competitive for a bit because of him. However do not believe he is your answer to all your problems . He is not going to carry your team through without help. A strong supporting cast is how to maximize Willy and get the most out of this investment . Which is the cruxed. Did you just spend so much money you can no longer afford to put that cast around Willy to get that output? Only time will tell but I believe Willy Adames by himself moves the needle for the Giants about 0 . You will be both angry and happy about this signing . Willy is great at making you love him though so enjoy this ! We have Cooper Pratt in the land of the Crew who will make Brewers fans feel pretty good about him leaving. Joey Ortiz finding his bat again like he had up to the all star break and playing the defense we saw in 2024 could bring us all the faith that losing Willy won't end this Crew. However we know we are not as good in 2025 as we were in 2024 because we lost him to the Giants. I say bring on baseball . Football is no good anymore.
