2024 Rosterbation

Punting in the sense that there is really no indication that this FO wants to be serious about building depth this year.

Wasn't that our complaint about FZ, that all he did was 'build depth' with interchangeable ok platoon players?

Who is going to tell him Burnes is already wearing orange and black?

Oops, I meant Peralta.

 

[Stokes1931]

This is FZ.

OF COURSE there are more transactions…

There will be a blue light special on weak hitting middle infielders any day now....

 

[LHG]

Is that what you're doing? All I see is bitching no matter what they do or don't do. In your case I get the sense you really want them to never make trades or FA signings, just draft players only?

Dude, have you been reading my posts this offseason? Or are you making assumptions off a couple of posts?

Wandy is with the Padres now.

I’m talking about further stocking the farm system.

Probably the latter. I haven't been here much in the offseason

 

[calsnowskier]

Is being selective so wrong?

Msg’s idea of a strategy is doing anything or nothing, cheering for it, than planning on “anything can happen”.

And fz has a huge garage full of shelving.

Looks like Davis is frustrated. However, I have a hard time understanding that he didn't know that this would happen, unless he isn't reading offseason rumors and tells friends and family to not talk rumors to him or he thought the lack of movement by the Giants the past few months meatn the Chapman rumors were baseless.

Giants Notes: Davis, Pederson, Ahmed

Gotta suck to lose that starting job after the offseason, but it's not like Davis should be handling 3B on a daily basis. He's a DH who can play the occasional position, though at least he's a viable hitter. I don't think Chapman's defense is as good as it was pre-2020, but he's still a very solid defender.

He's fun to watch in the field

JD is no gold glove winner, but he doesn’t play the field like a typical DH.

This is the way

Never forget...dude has FOUR rings:

 

[calsnowskier]

I am sure everyone knows by now, but…

20M/18M/16M with an opt out every year.

The early reports about his contract were inaccurate.

it is a structured as…

18M / 17M (Player Option) / 18M (Player Option) / 20M (Mutual Option)

So if the Giants don't want him his last year, is there a buy out?

There are small buyouts each year. But Chapman hold the first two (if he opts out, the Giants owe him a few million instead of the full amount). I believe there is a small buyout on the 4th (mutual) year as well.

There are also about 6M total in performance bonuses.

18M / 17M (Player Option) / 18M (Player Option) / 20M (Mutual Option)

Chapman will receive a $2MM signing bonus and a $16MM salary in 2024, plus a $2MM buyout on the $17MM player option for 2025. If the third baseman remains in his contract through the 2025 season, he’ll have an $18MM player option for 2026 with a $3MM buyout attached. Should he remain in his contract through those three seasons, Chapman and the Giants will share a $20MM mutual option for the 2027 season, with a $1MM buyout if either party declines their side of the option.

The downside to these kind of deals, mainly for fans, is that these options only get exercised when the player stinks.

Sounds like a pitcher signing is coming soon . . .
