The Giants are now at 500.
Rumors are Judge to SF.  What are the odds ?

Slim and none.  And Slim just walked out…. I just dont see it.

There are always exceptions, but in general you land the most coveted free agents by paying the most money for whom you are bidding. I don't want to hear excuses about why the Giants can't sign Trea Turner or whoever else is in high demand. Just get it done. If this means paying $10M more than the second highest bidder, so be it. Make an offer that can't be refused.

I would like to experience just one off season - this year - where Giants fans don't pull out the "we were close" card to excuse the team for failing to sign their top targets. It's been decades since the Giants won a bidding war for a top of market free agent in high demand that wasn't a Pitcher. It is time to make it happen.

I really hope the Giants understand how tired the fans are of finishing #2.

I know they have propeller heads galore in the front office.  Here's some easy and basic math: this year, the Giants averaged about a million fans less than they did over the past 20 years.  If you get a hot free agent or two, the Barry Bonds of the day, so to speak, the fans will Judge the front office with their feet; e.g., 1 million more fans at $40/ticket, with $20 each spent on food, souvenirs, etc.  That's $60 million extra, which should pay for some first-rate free agents.

Go get 'em, Gang Farhan...

$20 on food etc?  I’m guessing the average is twice that.
