I will refrain from celebrating too much b/c I'm sure some Giants fans are bummed out. But thank loving God.

Without Judge, Correa, or Rodon the Giants are objectively worse than last year and last year they were .500

Giants hosed up so, so badly. This is a horrible look for the organization.

Fortunately, as someone with no skin in the game, it's incredibly funny to me!

LOL Giants

Cohen really took the luxury tax being nicknamed after him as a challenge and not a deterrent, scary thing is that the team is almost certainly going to still be profitable even with overall payroll approaching/topping half a bil

I can't decide which option is funnier:

Giants back out cause of whatever medical thing they find and

A) He goes to the Mets and is perfectly fine through however long he ends up playing out of that contract

or

B) It pops up at the worst time and becomes a huge problem and he basically sucks now

If he's legit an injury risk and it flares up Cohen will DFA him and next man up. Dude really does not care about sunk cost.

At this point you give up entirely, trade Webb for a haul, and ask Crawford if he wants to waive his NTC.

Also this might be the end of the Zaidi Era because this has principal ownership's markings all over it, but ignorant fans are calling for his head and will likely feel satisfied if the owners let him be the scapegoat. If you were Zaidi why would you want to continue working for these people? The boat was just becoming seaworthy and they drove it straight into the pier.

As a Phillies fan I say especially gently caress the Giants, but I can't imagine this would have happened unless there was some significant enough issue?

Either way this feels really bad for the league even if the Mets will probably Mets it up.

Escobar going from a 10 million dollar bench bat to starting 3b is not the end of the world.

That or they call up Batty again.

Now more owners will look like dofuses for crying poverty instead of spending on their teams, this is bad for the league!

Every owner gets more money in their pocket from the Steve Tax, this is good for the league, more money for them to roll into their teams (lol)

There has to be something significant in the medical exam for a Boras player to sign for 35 million less at this point. Nobody looks good in this except possibly the Mets.
