Talentless, my ass. We just need an ace and a power bat. We have young and veteran talent, they just need time to play together. We're fine, party pooper. We're a hell of a lot further along than the Angels. We'll be in the mix for Ohtani as much as the Yankees, Dodgers or anyone else.
lol why would Ohtani sign here? You're a delusional homer if you think this is a prime spot to sign right now. Ohtani wants to win. We don't even have a manager.
He can win here, too - if he can wait a year or two. Great Japanese community in San Francisco. We got that going for us.
The sooner you come to terms with the fact that he's not signing here the less disappointment you'll feel this winter. He will have 10 other teams offering him as much as the Giants will, and they will be better teams who makes the playoffs every year.
Like I've brought up before, apparently someone in Seiya Suzuki's camp said that the city of SF doesn't have a great reputation in Japan. He made it sound like it is seen as a dirty, crime ridden city, and not very appealing to Japanese players. No idea if thats true, but we certainly don't seem to ever land Japanese players.
Ultimately were just not ready to win right now, and Ohtani is. He's not going to sign here and wait for the core players to develop.
