The Giants EASILY could have put out stories that suggested they were unlikely to get Judge.  They didn't. They never should have allowed the fans to feel Judge was a possibility, and surprised them if he signed with them.

I'm not gonna say the Giants wanted this Judge to Giants fire fed, they more likely have their heads down and are just working in the FO.  But the FO has to have a better sense for public relations with their fans and read the room about how the fan base feels about their inability to sign top free agents, and manage expectations accordingly.

The fans are pissed right now and don't trust the team. It can all change with a few good signings, but this is just not looking like a well-run organization from my vantage point.
