RE: SF Giants 2024 - Giants - 12-30-2024
re: outfield trade possibilities…
First, I think Ramos and Lee are locks to start in LF and CF. Secondly, I think defensive ability will be a significant factor that Posey will consider before making any deals. Since SF already has a Gold Glove finalist playing RF, any player who is under consideration to replace him on a regular basis needs to be, at least, a quality defender. As we know, RF at Oracle is not an easy position to play.
Excluding five games played by Rooker, none of the players in the group you listed have major league RF experience. And, as a whole, they have substandard outfield defensive stats.
Quite frankly, the more I think about, the more I realize that replacing Yaz via trade might not be a good idea. Most guys who are possibilities would be a lot like Yaz offensively and a poor copy of him defensively. Why not just keep the incumbent?
If there is going to be a change in RF, I think we may need to pin our hopes on Matos or one of the other young guys breaking through like Ramos did in 2024.
Burnes - The article made a lot more sense than the blaming the inability to sign him due to tax considerations. IMO, the tax issue is a non-starter. Teams based in CA. can easily address that through increasing the salary incrementally. Heck, the Dodgers never have problems signing guys they want.
Alonso - Just say no to the Polar Bear. Too much money for too little return. Put that money to use by signing Flaherty.
Farm System Ranking - further evidence that Zaidi was a poor choice to run baseball ops.

According to this article, mlb.com is reporting that the Giants are no longer in the running for Sasaki, nor are the Yankees or Rangers. There are six teams in the running: Padres, Dodgers, Red Sox, Mets, Mariners and Cubs.

Don’t sleep on the Mariners. His agent says development is important. And the Mariners have been great at developing starting pitchers.

Great call. In a few years, when Sasaki makes the Really Big Money, he'll want to have great stats...and the Mariners' ballpark favors pitchers even more than Oracle. Petco is about average for hitters and pitchers, Oracle is a strong pitcher lean, but T-Mobile Park in Seattle is statistically the pitchers' best friend. In the two articles below, Tony Blengino calculates that T-Mobile is the #1 most pitcher-friendly park, Oracle is #8, and Petco/San Diego is #17.
And Seattle has the most international development money to spend ($7.555 mms., along with other teams). If Sasaki wants to maximize his chances for Big $Money, he'll choose the Mariners.

ETA: he asked for a 2hr presentation at his agent’s LA offices detailing how they will develop him, and said that no current players of that organization would be allowed to be present.

I think the Giants have done a good job, particularly recently, with developing young pitching. I think that is a positive in SF's favor.

Anyone can start a thread. But I've split this one; I guess that was the request.
