Trade Rodon for a nice package.Dogs have three homers
Giants have three hits
Baggs keeps pointing out that the Giants have the third highest scoring offense in baseball. Yeah, they win a few games 12-3, and then have more games like this one. Kind of skews the stat a bit.
The Dodgers are a good team, with a solid franchise top to bottom. In spite of last year's surprise, the Giants are not a good team (unless everything goes as planned), and are becoming a solid franchise. The Giants need to have the kind of farm system the Dodgers have. They trade guys away, and bring up new guys without missing a beat. In a year or two, we should see some minor leaguers making an impact on the big club. But not yet.
That approach may be best for the team in the long run, but if the fans dry up during a radical rebuild, and no money comes in, what then?Trade Rodon for a nice package.
Trade Pedo for a nice-ish package.
Trade Yaz for a nice-ish package.
Trade Belt for a bag of peanuts.
Thats a start. Then, as much as i dislike it, continue the churn for another year or two while building the farm. This will likely kill our shot at Judge, but dems the cost of doin’ biz’nass.
I am not convinced that we don’t have massive inflows. Remember, the team owns the stadium outright (they have likely taken loans out against it in the last few years with the insane low rates, but the initial mortgage is gone). They also own a bunch of the surrounding property. They are not hurting for cash.That approach may be best for the team in the long run, but if the fans dry up during a radical rebuild, and no money comes in, what then?
We don't know what the cash flow projections are. The Giants are big on baseball analytics, and I'm sure they are big on financial analytics as well.
We have to remember that this is a sport AND a business. The Dodgers have money coming out of their ears. We don't, at least not like them.
