I don't necessarily feel like Meckler is an elite player but I think his bat is a major league bat. The fact that he was put on the 40 man for what 2 games in 2023 is still mind boggling. Huge mistake that essentially sends this guy to another club if they want him.

A) Trump had a stroke is showing advanced signed of dementia because of it

B) He has Alzheimer's and they are giving him drugs to slow it

It's literally one or the other and this dude is about to take us into war.
Gupta: Just the way he presents himself. Whether it’s the hand—is there something happening with that hand? Is there an IV there that they’re trying to cover up? His pressurized, rambling, incoherent speech. When you take it all together, reasonable people are asking reasonable questions

Final project was Due Wednesday by Midnight, student didn't turn in project, I emailed student, parent, and counselors letting them know if I didn't get the project by midnight Thursday It would be a 0 and they would fail the class. Comes in Friday to ask if they can turn it in on Tuesday!!!

What are the odds that Roupp and Ray combine for less than 100 innings next season? It feels like not that impossible with their injuries issues, which means you're making up 200 innings with guys Like Seymour, Tidwell, Wisenhunt...like this is scary if they don't at least sign a Giolito type.
December 19, 2025 at 8:40 PM
If Meccage and Anderson are like 100% confident they can get 2mph on Wisenhunt's fastball and can get Birdsong to lower his walk rate by like 5% then I guess I can Squint and see a decent rotation if everyone stays healthy.

Minasian doesn't really lie, i feel like they are trying to trade for a starter but they aren't biting and so He has to basically waffle on "Trying to add another arm" I also think if they can't get Peralta, Bubic, they will sign Giolito.

On a call with reporters, Giants GM Zack Minasian said they'll continue to look for starters in free agency/trades after signing Adrian Houser. Their hope was to add two to rotation. Also, specific roles on coaching staff are still being finalized, so no announcement is imminent.
December 19, 2025 at 7:31 PM
This is worst case scenario...this pitching staff is going to Stink in August.
Minasian said the fifth spot in the rotation could be filled internally or externally.

He added that the Giants will continue to look externally for another starter, but doesn't necessarily think the Giants need to add someone from outside the org.

Peralta = to Half of a Baz? Bubic = to 1/3 of a Baz?
December 19, 2025 at 6:35 PM
Lots of trades getting reported "In the works" hopefully the Giants are getting something in these "In the Works" trades and not DFA'ing Meckler for nothing.
December 19, 2025 at 6:11 PM
Predictions on the 40 man move?

I'm guessing they just DFA Dean, But they could do a minor trade of to get someone off the 40 man.

The #SFGiants and right-handed pitcher Adrian Houser agreed to terms on a two-year Major League contract that also includes a club option for the 2028 season.

The Giants officially announce the Adrian Houser signing. Two-year deal with a club option for 2028.
December 19, 2025 at 5:11 PM
Houser replaces IMO the innings of Teng, Birdsong, Harrison, and Hicks. What they need now is someone to replace Verlanders 150 good innings.
December 19, 2025 at 5:01 PM
My theory for what it's worth is the Giants offered Suarez, King, Gallen something like 50 for 2 or 75 for 3. But when they got that big bonus pool they decided they didn't want to sign QO guys and have pivoted to Giolito or a trade.
December 19, 2025 at 4:15 PM
My fear is that the Giants DFA'd Weimer because they couldn't find a trade for Matos and didn't want to DFA Matos for nothing like they did Luciano for fear of public backlash and are now going to platoon Matos and Gilbert next season and watch Matos again not have platoon splits.
December 18, 2025 at 11:01 PM
They'll all be on pitch limits but WOW this is the pitching staff to win it all. it's been pathetic the last couple years who ends up pitching for team USA. Now they are rolling out the big guns. Team USA is the team to beat.

If Houser gives the Giants what he did last year that's the same WAR as Robby Ray. If they get what he's projected, that's the same WAR as Landon Roupp. I'd really like them to get 1 more guy who can give them closer to 3 WAR

RE Mookie Betts

There is a ton of anti-semitism in impoverished POC communities. It's basically a funhouse mirror of the anti-semitism you see in impoverished and under educated white communities. I know this because I taught in a 100% Black and Hispanic school for 5 years.

One thing to keep in mind when you're thinking about teams free agency moves. Don't look at the 26 tax space. Look at the tax space in 27. Most noise says there will likely be a hard cap and a floor. Hopefully a hard floor. Only team over the tax in 27 in the Dodgers.
December 18, 2025 at 6:18 PM
I would do this in a heart beat and honestly think this would be a good trade for the Brewers too. Though I think I like Cohen more than Davidson or Jordan.
December 18, 2025 at 6:13 PM
This would be a good first 3 rounds for the Niners and this isn't counting the 2nd rounder they are getting for Macaroni
