Not a lot shocks me these days, but...

ELEVEN YEARS for Trea Turner?!?!?!?! That is just mind blowing.

The Phillies now have FIVE All-Star level every day players they acquired outside their system:

- OF Bryce Harper
- IF Trea Turner
- C JT Realmuto
- OF Kyle Schwarber
- OF Nick Castellanos

The Giants just pick their nose.

Hmmm…

Let the record show that the Giants have won more World Series in the last 13 years than Philadelphia has in their entire history.  

Spending lots of money doesn’t necessarily yield championships.  Heck, LA and San Diego didn’t even get to the World Series in ‘22.  All they have to show for their efforts is a fat revenue tax bill.    

SF has to wait until Judge makes his call.  Once he selects NY, I expect the Giants to move quickly on a SS.  

We shall see……

Let the record show the Phillies acquired all these players after the Giants won their last World Series. Let the record show the Phillies were in the World Series in 2022 while the Giants didn't make the expanded playoffs. Also let the record show the Giants won those World Series with a different GM/VP of Baseball Operations than they have now. Let the record show the Giants haven't won a playoff series in 8 years.

The fact is the Giants have been cheap, not because they haven't been signing top of market free agents, but because they are the 5th most valuable franchise in MLB and aren't signing them.
