A Place To Talk About Giants Baseball

Just checking in on this Robbie Ray stuff. Mid move. I’ve got no problem ditching the Horrible Haniger and Disco. And we definitely need starting pitching (although you could argue Disco could at least give us something in the first half of the season, something Ray cannot do).

To me, this feels like Farhan is selling us a shiny bauble. “Hey Giants fans! Look over here! A Cy Young winner!!!!!” Bottom line: Ray has had 2 very good full seasons in his career. A bunch of other average years. He’s 32. Oh, and he’s got that thing Farhan LOVES: he’s got an opt out after the 2024 season. So here we go again, if he sucks he stays if he’s good he bails. Although we might have a little insurance on that one since he’s already making so much maybe he doesn’t leave even if he has a good season because no team would be dumb enough to give him more than he’s making now.

Anyway, he’s not even going to be available till mid season so I can already hear Farhan now: “When we get Ray back this will be just like the big trade deadline move that I would fail to make otherwise.”

Whatever, we stink and LA is a million times better than we are. I couldn’t be looking any less forward to this upcoming baseball season…….
