2025 Rosterbation

I assume either Huff OR Murphy makes the team, the other will be DFA’d. Or maybe Huff is just churn to increase our non-roster catching depth (a legit weakness in this org)

That, or they know something about Murph's medicals that we don't.

I just don't see much downside to the Verlander signing given we didn't sign a longer term elite starter.

Hope the Giants capitalize on his stature by bringing back Panda and Zito as assistants and have JV throw BP against them. That I'd pay to see

Just guessing here but JV's contract probably stipulates NO PANDA.

Whoever it is, we need a near starter quality back up catcher to spell Bailey.

How many teams have TWO starter quality catchers? I mean, if you wanted to bring the Sac out of retirement....

At least a healthy one who can spell Bailey

I wonder what Whiteside is doing?

And after losing Snell and losing out on Burnes (assuming we actually went after him, which I actually seriously question), what ace could the Giants have acquired? None were avail in FA, so we would have had to look in the trade market. And if you think we would have been able to acquire an ace without parting with Eldridge PLUS, you are crazy. And this is not a major league squad that should be looking at trading guys like Eldridge or Whisenhunt.

I get the sense that they more "kicked the tires" on Burnes than seriously negotiated with Boras.

You don't pay $15M for a mentor. He's expected to produce some. I don't expect all star work but a league average 20 starts wouldn't be unreasonable.

You do pay $15M to put butts in the seats.

Causing trouble. It's always his fault.

I hear he was vacationing up in the Eureka area a few weeks back…
