my crackpot theory is that they’re in on Bichette (tweet is suspiciously near the int’l signing day) and they’re trying to negotiate his price down in public, but I think playing both teams against each other is the likely cause here

3 years is too much, it seems

welp, Cody Ponce and Max Scherzer it is I guess (sigh)

depends on how they feel about Dominguez I guess

this dovetails with the talk from Pavlovic and others about how Posey/Winn aren’t pleased with how dev at Sac has gone in recent years

Bob’s insistence on playing him and batting him fifth might be one of things that dooms this season
Like the smith injury muddles things but surely they can find someone better to DH in this spot

and hey, Harber and Rodriguez are at least intriguing players

I only hope the contract for the reliever the Giants sign this offseason isn’t too much of an albatross

Moving Lee doesn’t make sense because there’s no apparent replacement in the system and any free agent stop-gap would just be worse. Chapman I can’t see Posey moving on from, and trading any team-controlled starting pitching seems unwise given the innings issues the team *always* runs into.

remember the weekly quests they made you do after tower that basically were a hole lot of nothing including the most bullshit “ambiguous ending”

considering Fitzgerald has struggled badly this year and the lack of any 2Bs in the system above A+ he might just get the 2B job if he hits well enough, even if the defense there isn’t the best

Ramos’ defensive flaws got exposed again too.
