Not gonna lie, pretty happy about this. Don't need Bellinger with "Grandson of the Wind" in CF. He's only 25. My guess is he bats leadoff. Giants scouted him heavily, and his former Heroes teammate Ha-Seong Kim broke out this past season.
SF Giants agree to $113 million deal with outfielder Jung-Hoo Lee
Highlights:
- 2022 KBO MVP
- .349 BA, .996 OPS, 23 HRs, 113 RBIs, 9.3 WAR
- Five straight Gold Gloves
- .342 career BA
- 6.5% strikeout rate.
- In the World Baseball Classic, Lee posted .429/.500/.571/1.071
Yaz/Slater platoon in RF, Conforto to LF.
I hear Yankees will land Yamamoto.
He's...enthusiastic.

Is it ok to yawn quietly re: this signing? SF doesn’t need Tier 2 signees. The Giants need a guy who will light up the telephones in the ticket sales department. Lee is not that guy. Unfortunately, if Yamamoto signs elsewhere, there are no more Tier 1’s left on the table, assuming the signing of Lee precludes any further interest in Bellinger.
My hope now is trade an OF or two (Yaz, Slater, Haniger, Conforto???) for a SP.
