[RamsFan88]

Hank is saying 6/130, can opt out after 2nd year.

Giants To Sign Johnny Cueto

 

[Mays-Fan]

If true, we just went to a B+ offseason.

Re-sign Byrd: A-

Sign a premium OF somehow: A+

6/130M with Cueto holding an opt-out after two years, SF has club option for a seventh year.


Dear Cueto,
Please pitch really well then opt out

Any chance we can keep Leake and get rid of Peavy? Thanks for the past, but it's on to the future.

The Giants just spent $200M on two 5-years contracts. I would much rather have Peavy's for 1 more year as #4 than giving out another long term deal. 2017 is about time to bring up some legit arm from the farm.

Would Leake require a long term deal? I was thinking 2 years. I hate anything longer than 5 for a pitcher over 27 or so, but that's what the market is dictating i suppose.

Leake is as good as gone now. This contract scares me, but I have to trust in the braintrust.

At this point, we only "need" another OF, but if we are done, I am good.

Right now, we have a top 5 top 3 along with the Mets, Cubs, DBacks, (???)...

Any word on what's going on with Alex Gordon? I'd like that little piece to fit in the puzzle.

I'd like to see them try a 6-man rotation until at least the ASB.

Now THIS makes sense for opt outs. The club actually gets something if the player opts in.

Ya'll are gearing up for another even year run

An interesting stat, which says something good about Cueto. He led the league in sac bunts in 2012 (he had 17), and has had multiple double digit years.

Last year, Vogey has 8, Moses had 7.

He's not the best hitter, but he gives a rat's behind about his PA's, and helping the team.

He's going to get 5 years from someone.

BBRef had us at $152.9mm after Samardzija. Add $23mm for Cueto, and that is $175.9. The lux tax limit is $189mm.

It is my understanding we need to include a few million for benefits. So we might have $10mm to use.

It looks like the Byrd is the Word. Unless the FO wants to go for the jugular, damn the torpedoes.

I mean, it's not like they don't have the money. If they want to go all in, go all in and get Gordon or Upton.

I love this move. Cueto has always been one of my favorite pitchers.

The Giants' rotation hair game is definitely #1 in MLB.
