Giants Offseason Wishlist

- Throw money at all the best FA starting pitchers, including the ones on the team this year. Also use Zaidi magic to find some bad and cheap starters that can be polished up into good starters.
- Also throw money at all the best FA relievers. Also Zaidi magic etc. etc.
- Some more utility infielders? Can't have too many utility infielders.
- Bring up all the prospects.
- Hope Zaidi stole whatever Dodgers Devil Magic turns every prospect into a superstar.

Too bad this offseason isn't exactly ripe with impact starters. I don't give a poo poo about Trevor Bauer's terrible tweets, if he actually has the balls to sign a one-year deal the Giants should jump on that. We don't have much in the way of pitching prospects either, especially at the upper minors.

Well we did mention managers of the year being fired earlier, could Cash pull it off if Snell is pissed enough and tries to force it?

Most likely it'll happen like Matt Williams after he won 2014 MoY. After his bonehead moves cost the Nationals in the 2014 playoffs he lost the clubhouse, the team collapsed, and he was fired at the end of 2015.

The ball of the late 2010s was ridiculously over-juiced. It wasn't fun seeing every at bat end in a strikeout, or lightly poking the ball over the fence.

Considering the last minor league season was in 2019, this year's prospect rankings are more based around a shrug and a feeling.

Take anything with a grain of salt.

Though Is till wonder how the A's ended up dipping that low.

Most likely Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer is referring to these articles, condemning him for his targeted harassment of women online:

From what I understand, every minor league team that wasn't picked up as an affiliate was ghosted. Most likely marching orders from MLB to ensure the minor league teams that had nothing to lose didn't leak the information early.
