Judge received a $400 million/10 year offer from San Diego and said no thanks.  

Outsider - when are you going to learn money is not always going to be the answer.  Heck, the Pads lost out twice this year on premier free agents despite making substantially bigger bids. 

Players choose where they want to play based on multiple factors.  In Judge’s case, I would guess that playing on the biggest stage in the game for the most storied franchise was a significant reason for his decision.  

Next year, we will go through this process all over again when Ohtani hits the market.  Please be ready to be disappointed when he selects the Dodgers as his new employer.

Agree on Judge.  But here’s the other thing  - there are several others out there worth signing - starting with Tier 1 :  Correa, Boegarts Swanson Rodon 

Tier 2. Nimmo Senga 

Tier 3. Bassitt Taillon (if still available) Taylor Rodgers. 

To name a few.  They need to sign one of the SS’s. An SP. And Nimmo.

Do that, nice winter. Miss on all Top Tier and there’s trouble.  Excuses don’t cut it. It’s a results business. Giants essentially whiffed in ‘21. Can’t do so again.
