He is no forevergiant now

He is in the sense we often use it.

Now Carlos Correa, he is a #noevergiant.

 

[LHG]

Watch him have a 3-hit night for them.

Two of them for home runs, probably with runners on.

One simple word to describe the Giants.... SELL!!!!!!!!
Edit: for below
Unfortunately we won't get much except salary relief. Maybe a lottery ticket prospect that hits.

The benefit of “selling” is more about the losses that come with it than the prospect haul that comes back. But of course, you don’t give just for the sake of giving. You still want to TRY to get something back.

Two benefits:
1. Clears salary to use in the offseason
2. Brings back prospect talent

It MAY improve draft position a little, but that's ancillary.

 

[Hangman]

We should be selling soon

I don’t give a shit about the money this club gets or saves. I don’t believe for a second it has any baring on any player they want to get or keep. They are printing money with the park and the surrounding properties. Their bottom line is their business. I only care about they team the put on the field and the direction of their baseball operation in general.

I only disagree to the extent that overpaying players and going above the thresholds, that will of course limit spending to make the team better if the Luxury Tax is eating into these profits from those ventures. I will be better for the Giants fans if they can get some/more Bargains so that the Luxury Tax won't make them miss out on a difference maker or two. So yes I want them to make some better choices so the Luxury Tax won't limit progress. If they spend to the limit or a bit over and win big then yes I don't care if they lose some profits but spending badly will ensure they won't get near the top.

 

[tzill]

There is a budget. There will always be a budget. Getting rid of salary lets you use that budget to get other players. Pretty simple concept actually. Nothing to do with how much the owners get to keep.

Marlins getting IF Deyvison De Los Santos and OF Andrew Pintar from the Diamondbacks for A.J. Puk

 

[Stokes1931]

What a mess. Giants needed to go 5-2 to open the 2nd half but instead go 2-5. This team screams "mediocre". With Snell, Ray, and Cobb returning (with good form we hope) perhaps things will be better. Although this team cannot hit, and the hitters being paid big bucks to hit are by far the worst offenders. And it just stings that the SS we DFA'ed last week came back to hit a game winning homer against us. I am not worried about who to sell, I am very worried about what sort of return FZ will get. More weak hitting middle infielders no doubt.

The only way to do that is to have a home-grown core. Until they have that, any FAs they sign are only place holders.

Agreed. That's why we sell. Get prospects.

And Chappy, with his 4.2 WAR this year, could fetch a very nice return. He is having a monster season. This is something I think we can all agree on.

 

[LHG]

Looks like Baggarly believes the Giants are sellers and more than one year rentals are avaialble.

I've resigned myself to the fact that Soler isn't movable.
Chapman, Snell and Forto absolutely should be traded though.
