Didn't think about the DH

Both expected and both deserved.

Any word where Yaz finished?

The Athletic published their 2025 FA salary predictions this am. Of note:

Soto 13/611
Burnes 7/217
Fried 5/140
Adames 6/150
Snelk 4/110
Kim 2/36
Forto 1/10


If those numbers are accurate, I'd bring Snelk back and get Kim.

As I said about a week or so back, I would be ok going deeper than that on Snelk. I would be OK with Kim on that contract, but not sure I want to go further than that.

QOs were handed out today…

A few highlights…

Soto
Burnes
Fried
Alonso
Adames
Manaea

There are others, but none of them have ties to the Giants or have seriously been linked to the Giants this off season.

I say focus on Snelk and Kim, make a few minor trades and call it an off-season.

That would keep the 2025 draft picks intact but there is a lot of early chatter linking the Giants to Adames. I'd be okay with that if he continues to hit at close to elite levels for a shortstop but there is also going to be a lot of teams in on him, either at shortstop or 3rd base. And he would mean the Giants would lose two draft picks if they sign him.

He's not going to sign here. Oracle scares hitters.

Bring me Snelk and Kim.

Some chatter that the Giants are talking to the Jays about Bichette. Whisenhunt plus.

I'd rather have Kim than Bichette. Maybe it is a one year blip but 2024 was a horrible year for him. Why pay full price on possible damaged goods?

well, you've hit the nail here. If you believe that a 26 year old guy with a career 120 OPS+ and averages 25 bombs a year is washed, then you don't make the deal.

I'd do it.

 

[tzill]

The Atlanta Braves have declined their $8 million club option on catcher Travis d’Arnaud, sources tell ESPN. He is now a free agent.

He'd be a nice backup to Bales. I entirely trust Buster here.

 

[tzill]

Santander is projected to get 4/80. He'd be a good DH but hes a liability in the field.

We have Murphy.

We have Murphy.

I'd rather have D'Arnaud.

Meh

if it happens, cool. If it doesn’t happen, cool.

I'm saying that 2024 is concerning. I haven't heard any explanation as to why his offensive production cratered. Like I said, it may be a one year blip but why buy high when there are concerns?
There are questions marks on Kim as well, but at least he won't cost prospects or draft picks. If I had to choose between the two, I'd take Kim.

Maybe play him at 1st base and trade either Flores or Wade?

 

[LHG]

I'd rather have D'Arnaud.

Weren't you praising the Giants for getting Murphy last year?

 

[calsnowskier]

Trade Flores?

I just entered into my MLB Show 2012 (current rosters) and I was able to get Ohtani and Freeman from the dogs, with the dogs picking up the bulk of both of their contracts…
