Soto is the only guy on the market (FA) who fits that bill. And he will stay in NY.
Agreed, but there has to be someone to sign or trade for in between those two, doesn't there?
I don’t see anyone making legit statements expecting Posey (or his team) to turn everything around on day one. And there aren’t the players that we NEED available this season anyway.
Alonso would be great but unlikely
FZ probably needed to go but let's not pretend a new GM is going to suddenly find a way to bring in bats
In other news I'm a little less Snelk-happy after he bailed on his last start, we definitely need a top level ace to make 3, but maybe a different one would be better, one who isn't so fragile and focused on himself and not going deep into games.
Is Kim’s defense equal or better than Ahmed’s? If so, then I’m willing to admit that my statement was a bit much, but, even then, the surgery puts his previous status in jeopardy.
The rumblings I’m reading say that Bellinger is likely to stay put in Chicago for 2025.

In my opinion, what this team needs to focus on is building a better farm system. Then we could trade surplus prospects for better hitters. I’m okay with trading prospects when there are embarassment of riches, such as the Orioles’ system
I don't think we're adding a "big bat," but if we add Snelk I'm good with that.
Elite? Dude….

I initially thought Goldy was totally washed. I even had a write up in response to this message saying as much.I’m hearing Paul Goldschmidt is on our radar. 3rd article today I read. So we are set, and with a broken shoulder SS to sign our 2025 is complete, that was quite fast actually.
SF Giants Predicted to Land 7-Time All-Star Projected for $12 Million Deal
First baseman Paul Goldschmidt is primed to hit free agency this winter. Could he land by the Bay with the San Francisco Giants?
Ok, then "very good?" He's worth between 2-2.5 dWAR when he's healthy.
Well then I’m ok going with who I originally wanted. Wade / Canha, plus should be cheaper and they can play outfield too. But I’ll leave it up to Posey.
He'll be 37 and is trending in the wrong direction. He may well be washed.
I wouldn’t mind him in the locker next to Eldridge during ST and possibly the second half of the regular season.
I'm thinking roster spots are going to be at a premium, not sure they'd have room for both Eldridge and Goldy
