Just saying he may want to retire. I don't know but most people start to think about it when they reach that age. Lot's of people can continue to work when they get older but most prefer to retire and enjoy the rest of their life.

I had watched baseball since 1962. I had seen bad teams, unlucky teams, talentless teams, you name it. I had never seen supposedly decent to good team performing so incompetently. They are 100 times worse than the bad team or what they should have been, because when you know you have the bad team at the beginning of the season you are not expecting anything. Their play the last 2+ months is as if they are maliciously scripting the most hellish scenario for every game and purposely follow that script, touching the depth of incompetence in EVERYTHING that can be touched in the game of baseball. Actually, you couldn't script that nightmare if your life depended on it. I had never before seen such abomination and malice on the Giants team. This stuff is beyond the legends, and it must be absolutely the voodoo curse of the highest degree placed on the Giants in June and the only explanation without any doubt. Find out if Boston has a demon on their payroll they've set with Devers to guide the Giants team. That nonsense can be totally equated to Giants play.

it's not voodoo it's just a bad trade. boston did better post trade and we sank. now we have a lot of dough committed to this dude who's not really moving the needle for us.

Yeah anytime you can trade an underperforming young pitcher with a low ceiling and a couple of prospects for a premier hitter in baseball, its "a bad trade."

SMFH

part of the deal is we pick up over $200m. no one has the crystal ball, and the future is uncertain but as of now, i have no issue calling a spade a spade. as of now that trade sucks.

Yeah man. This thread is shot. The Devers trade is crap because the giants won't make the playoffs. Absolute dumb take. Statistically one of the best 5 hitters in all of baseball is on the team until 2033, and we are looking at it as a bust over a few months. And he was playing hurt. And he cited an attitutude problem...the the player agreed and has played 1b in SF. Idiot s**t.

This is coming from a dude who complains about Devers, Adames, Lee, but never says a word about Chapman who is a disappointment this year. I can't take it seriously.

This thread is washed.

the thread was shot when you thought pete alonzo was the best defensive 1b, per advanced metrics, cuz you were mistakenly looking at an alphabetized list of first basemen. that told me all i needed to know about your mlb takes. not everything is about matt chapman. chap does lead our team in war, in terms of our lineup, and he's missed a month. the reason war looks at him favorably is he runs bases and plays the field better than your average player. devers does all that stuff worse than your average player. and chapman didn't cost us prospects, and he doesn't make $200m either. that trade was supposed to move the needle, and yeah it moved it for boston. they are in the playoffs if they were to start today.

Alonzo wasn't on our team. Big difference. I misread a stat but you never admitted to your Slater take? Oh you forgot about and that you lied about it. lmao

The difference is I want Chapman on the team. And I want Devers. You want nobody but Chapman and a bunch of scrubs. Your baseball takes are as awful as your other posting passion. You literally complain about every single player except Chapman. Including the SPs.

Oh I am sure this will sit well with the fans who aren't blind.

Paying a top tier hitter $200M is the price of doing business. In fact, it better than the price of doing business. If he was on the open market, he would get far more than we are giving him.

The trade doesnt suck. The players we gave up "suck." I guess you would rather have a young pitcher who is regularly getting blown up in AAA than a great major league hitter because of money. SMFH. Stupid.

You happen to see the Devers HR last night? Just checking.

Still hate this team

he's not a top tier hitter. if you look at slug, he's 44th, tied with ben rice. in ops he's 21st, behind the rockies catcher. if you look at average he's 89th. he's a good bat, who doesn't run well or field well and has an attitude, at least for sure he did in boston. he's not top in anything, guys like judge / ohtani are top when it comes to hitting and this guy ain't in the judge tier. not close. so you can't get 4 words into the post without getting it wrong here.

Silly take man. He's a top 20 hitter in the game. He's struggled since coming here, I think its easy to understand why. Changing teams has to be jarring. I think next year he will be more comfortable. Tough task to come over via trade mid year and be the guy. Not mention the entire offense collapsing around him for months on end.
