[Giants]

In the last five years, the Giants have vigorously pursued and/or lost very high-priced free agents. Three of these agents:

a) All play for the same current team.
b) Are all on the disabled list.
c) Have a collective current 2023 adjusted payroll of $94,833,333.
d) Were either pursued by the Giants or played for the Giants.

Who is the team, and who are the players?

And for a bonus, name the other very high-priced free agent (current salary $33,333,333) pursued by the Giants in 2023 who has a current slash line of .206/.289/.383/.672? Hint: this player would only be fourth on the Giants in strikeouts, had he chosen to sign with Los Gigantes. Hint #2: this player, supposedly a fielding wiz, has an Rtot of -1, and he is both below MLB average for his position, and #17 at his position.

Arson Judge, Carlos Rodon and Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees.

Bonus - sounds maybe like Carlos Correa

Check, check, check aaaaaand...check.  All correct.

I would still be happy to welcome Judge to SF if we could go back in time.
