You don't know the definition of slander.

In what universe is that accurate? Yeah he missed almost 60 games. He still had 14 more homeruns and 2 more WAR than any Giant position player.

Correa was the blessing to whiff on

Go Bochy!

I dont disagree. However, I have seen way too many people try to assign credit to Farhan for us pulling out....when in reality, he deserves zero credit for that.

It was a desperation move to save face.

Correa whiffed on us...we didn't whiff on him. Our docs should get a million dollar bonus for that save.

The Giants should sign Trevor Bauer. Immediately.

Not a chance this will happen. Have you been on twitter? Too many people don't change their opinions even if new information is presented. Fans would be outraged.

At Yankee Stadium. And the 2023 Giants sucked, so thats not a major accomplishment.

Judge's contract is going to be one of the worst in baseball within the next 2-3 years. Could we have overpaid enough to make him bail on the Yankees? Maybe. But how much would that have taken? Probably a crap ton more. He wanted to be in NY. He wanted the Yankee legacy. The offer would've had to have blown him away.

Imagine if we had paid him 50 mil per year and he ended up missing 60+ games every year while essentially being a power only guy who strikes out a ton? There are better ways to use 50 mil each season. Even at the time I knew he wasn't going to age well, but we needed something to generate a reason to watch.

Funny how Travis Ishikawa is referenced like a deity in Giants history, but Belt is constantly disrespected, despite contributing far more to our championship runs.

"At Yankee Stadium": Judge hit 20 homeruns on the road this year. 32 last year.

"power only guy": He has a lifetime .282 batting average.

Next?

What I posted has nothing to do with Travis Ishikawa or disrespecting Belt.
