Shots fired.

Do you think the Dodgers organization will ever be able to match the success of the Giants over the previous decade?

Joseph C

6:01

Yeah, dodgers also didn't win 3 WS in 5 years. Don't gaslight us with that kind of question.

Darragh McDonald

6:02

I love the passion.

Icemike What do you think about the giants taking a flyer on Jason Heyward

Darragh McDonald

6:02

I think they can do better.

Andy

6:02

Is Andrew Benintendi an option for the Giants as a CF? Seems like he played exclusively in the corner last year with solid marks.

Darragh McDonald

6:03

I don't think Benintendi is an everyday option in center.

Your Favorite Uncle

This is your worst chat yet.

Darragh McDonald

6:04

Is this because of the Linden thing?

CandlestickMick

6:04

What would it take for the Giants to swing a deal for Bryan Reynolds or Gleyber Torres and how likely is a move like that if they miss out on Judge/Nimmo and the top 4 FA shortstops respectively?

Darragh McDonald

6:04

All reports indicate the asking price on Reynolds remains high.

6:05

Gleyber shouldn't be too hard to get, however.

Guest

Less games versus the Dodgers and the Padres with the new schedule, will this help their win total and wild card chances ?

Darragh McDonald

6:06

Perhaps, sure. I can see it making a marginal difference. Broadly speaking, the new schedule should benefit coastal teams and hurt the Central teams.

Joe

6:07

How is Linden close to the Bay Area? What are you talking about?

Darragh McDonald

6:07

Okay, it's 2-1 now.

Realistic SP Addition

6:07

The Giants will not overpay for deGrom, Verlander, or Rodon so what are some realistic FA additions or trade targets?

Darragh McDonald

6:07

If they miss on the top guys, there's plenty of mid-rotation guys in free agency this year.

6:08

Taillon, Eovaldi, Bassitt, Taijuan, Thor, and about a dozen more.

Giants Vision

How does baseball salary cap work ? How is it that teams like Dodgers Yankees seem to have no limit

Darragh McDonald

6:08

There's no salary cap. It's a competitive balance tax.

You pay a fee depending on how far you go over the CBT threshold.

Guest

Better question, SHOULD the Giant's sign Judge?

Darragh McDonald

6:09

yes (66.7% | 130 votes)

no (28.7% | 56 votes)

don't know (4.6% | 9 votes)

Gabe's Bullpen

I hear nothing about Andrew Chafin. He seems like he'd be an excellent influence on the Giants bullpen. What kind of contract do you forsee him getting?

Darragh McDonald

6:10

We predicted 2/18. But he supposedly signed with the Tigers to be near his Ohio home or farm or ranch or something.

I don't know if that still matters to him, but it could work against a fit for a West Coast team.

Andy

6:10

You are not good. Linden is not close to the Bay Area and we do not forgive you. Here in the Bay Area we have 3 rules: don't call it "Frisco"; don't put a "the" in front of freeway names; and don't mix up what cities are in the Bay Area!

Darragh McDonald

6:11

It's tied!

I also had a Twitter commenter say that I shouldn't call it "San Fran." Do y'all not like that either?

Giacgara

6:11

Baseball’s a team sport. Would rather have several good FA signings than overpay on one big one that ends poorly, yes? P.S.: Most Giants’ fans didn’t know where Linden was until this season either.

Guest

6:11

I forgive you! It’s close enough

votes count

6:12

how many people in the chat,so we know how many people don't think their vote counts?

Darragh McDonald

6:12

Currently 259.

darragh

6:12

linden is close enough

Agnes

6:12

Hells Angels call it Frisco and I wouldn't mess with them. San Fran is cringy tho.

Luc

6:12

It's not bay area but it's a whole lot closer than NY

Andy's Mom

6:12

So if I'm leaving LA to go up there, I can't say I'm taking The 5?

Darragh McDonald

6:13

Anyone on this? I'm in Canada so I can't answer.
