2023 Rosterbation

[calsnowskier]

Looking at numbers and trends only (ignoring potential), I don’t think Bellinger deserves any more than a 1/6 (extrapolate that out to maybe a 2/15). But factoring in his defensive flexibility and the potential in the bat, I think SOMEONE will offer a 2/30 or 3/45 (something in that neighborhood).

Potential bullpen FA targets by SO/W ratio in 2022:
1. Chris Martin (14.80 SO/W)
2. Collin McHugh (5.36 SO/W)
3. Adam Ottavino (4.94 SO/W)
4. Taylor Rogers (4.67 SO/W)
5. Erasmo Ramirez (4.58 SO/W)

Martin walked 1(!) batter in 24.2 innings following the trade to the Dodgers. Giants GM Pete Putila has experience with McHugh, who can spot start and work out of the bullpen. Rogers is coming off of a down year but his numbers were better than his 4.76 ERA.

I say we go after Rogers. Then we should also trade for Trevor.

I like the idea of Bellinger, but I still think it will take something like a 3/45 to land him. And I think that is way to risky.

Rumor is that he is looking for a 1 year "pillow" contract.

A few position players from the non-tender market that make some sense:
OF Rafael Ortega
IF Edwin Rios
B/COF Brian Anderson
3B Jeimer Candelario

Hard pass on all of these (maybe soft pass on Rios)

Aka the Boras Leverage Play.

Always been my take, he's using us for leverage. One shred of hope, the article notes he's growing a goatee, which of course he will have to shave off if he returns to the Yankees LOL

That is a dated policy. If Judge wants to keep it, he can have it as a condition in his contract that they abandon that policy.

Right now, it looks like at least 6 teams are in on the pursuit of Carlos Rodon (Giants, Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Twins and Rangers). Not sure how deep any of those conversations have gone yet.

Completely ignorantly, I would think the dogs and Rangers would be the front runners.

Shelby Miller is now a Dodger.

 

[LHG]

Here are the free agents that, as far as I can tell, the Giants have at least shown interest in since the beginning of the offseason:
Pitchers - Shelby Miller, Kenley Jansen, Carlos Rodon, Kodai Senga
Catchers - none
Infielders - Carlos Correa
Outfielders - Cody Bellinger, Mitch Haniger, Aaron Judge, Brandon Nimmo

 

[tzill]

I think they've talked to Bogaerts.

I think they've talked to Bogaerts.

I've read that the Giants should be in on all top free agent shortstops (Swanson, Turner, etc) but have only heard rumors that the Giants are actually interested in Correa. Haven't heard if they've talked with any of them, though.

The Yankees current offer to Aaron Judge is around eight years and $300 million, per JeffPassan

That's $37.5M AAV. If the Giants have a chance to sign Judge, they'll need to top that. Will they go to $40M AAV for 8 years? That's probably what it'll take.

There's room in the budget for that. However, that contract is going to a bear for the last 4 years.
