Would love to get into the Japanese market. But Giants need 2-3 starters and 2 quality relievers.

So sign Itoh, Taira and Imanaga. Sounds good to me.

Sato isn't a good fit, simply because we've nowhere to put him

Giants oughtta be throwing all of their resources and then some into pitching

Dodgers will love him.  Probably move him to 2B

While I wouldn’t mind adding a potent right-handed outfield bat to mash lefties and take pressure off JHL playing everyday, this team needs to add at least four quality pitchers before they do anything to the offense.

With the looming lockout and given their track record on pitching acquisitions the last few years, I’m not optimistic

He’s going to the Dodgers.

I say let our young outfielders fight it out, I believe the talent is there. We need pitching and more pitching. And a new conditioning coach and pitching coach. I’m right and you all know it.

Giants fans 🤝 hyping up Asian players that we don't have a viable roster spot for.

This team needs pitching bruh

Every position on this roster needs to be looked at for upgrades. To say there’s not viable roster spot is crazy. He’s an upgrade over Chapman at 3B at this point in his career.

What team is going to trade for Chapman and Adames?

They are overpaid, coming off injury, heavily underperformed their contracts last year, and have no trade clauses... and even if they traded Chappy, Schmitt probably gets the 3B job since he's still on a cheap contract and is good.

We are stuck with them bro. Unless, they have miracle seasons next year to rebuild trade value and the Giants pull the plug on them as soon as someone calls on them in trade talks (they won't because good seasons from them means the team may be contenders), they are here to stay.

They need to upgrade but can't because of awful contracts

And with Max Muncy being super old, we already know what team he's gonna play for

I never said anything about a trade or Adames, but all that stuff you listed… proved my point. Sato is an upgrade over Chapman.
