Either payroll has gone way higher than any of us thought it would or AA is hot on the trail of a young cheap player.
Sounds like Bumgarner is next in line to sign, gonna get 100+ million.
Bowman said he thinks payroll is near or exceeds 150 million....
Giants are looking for a center field and we are looking for a third base. Evan Longaria straight for Ender Inciarte is enough?
pretty good article on our offseason so far but kinda sobering in regards to ownership as well.
27th in free agent spending in the decade.
Interesting read. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28225476/adding-cole-hamels-latest-sign-braves-mean-business-offseason
Trey Mancini. Can we get him for Kyle Wright or Wilson? Mueller plus touki?
That seems like an impact bat we could get.
Maybe we can help his defense.

Thats why i say a few weeks ago we should go for a cheap third baseman. To handler the position for the first few months and then bring Riley from AAA. I don’t want Longoria! But i see Giants probably they are looking for a center field and Braves looking for a third baseman.
If they are content with the outfield for now and can resign JD, what about trading for say Boyd? The rotation and bullpen would be lights out at that point.
JD for 3+ years is scary. That 3rd and 4th year are gonna be serious decline years almost certainly
Eh. Donaldson is a better defender than Chipper was.
And his plate discipline is just as good and he accumulates a lot of walks still. Sure his homer total might dip to 20-25 but if he's still walking a lot that's really good. Just requires a manager who can slot him in the part of the lineup where those walks become valuable.
