Official 2023 San Francisco Giants Off-Season Thread - Jung Hoo Lee signs with SF 6-years $113 Million

I think Romo is done. Too much damage accumulated on that arm. Slider doesn't slide anymore.

Get Strickland throwing a slider/2 seam and he will be a monster.

I can't remember who it was, but they said he'd eventually be out of the pin.

That doesn't bode too well because that was Lincecum's scouting report at draft time.

Scratch Tomas off the list. He's signing with AZ  6yr/68mil.

Ugh seriously?  Why do we always low ball the Cuban players?  I dont get it.  I know I have absolutely no reason to complain given the results of last season, but we could have had Jose Abreu on our team instead of Brandon Belt.  We offered Abreu the same annual salary as the White Sox did, but they offered him more years.

This is really frustrating.  He was the one bat in this market that could make up for the loss of Pablo. SMH.

Waiting to see if you can make it through the off-season without criticizing Saebs.

The Diamondbacks have reached agreement on a six-year, $68.5MM deal with Cuban slugger Yasmany Tomas, reports MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez. The deal includes an opt-out that can be triggered after four seasons, and is pending physical, per Sanchez.

The overall guarantee lands just a hair over the $68MM that the White Sox promised Jose Abreu last year. Given changes in the market in the interim — largely driven, perhaps, by Abreu’s own incredible success — that price tag may feel low at first glance. Indeed, much attention has been given to the idea that Tomas, with his prodigious power and youth, could not only beat the Rusney Castillo contract (seven years, $72.5MM) but also reach nine figures.

Of course, the opt-out will play an important role in assessing this deal’s true value, especially once it is learned how much of the guarantee falls under the contract’s last two years. The 4+2 opt-out structure means that Tomas could reach free agency before his age-28 season. If his bat lives up to the hype, he’ll have another shot at a massive payday at that point. But he will have to prove it on the field first.

As MLBTR’s Tim Dierkes wrote in his profile of Tomas, the 70-grade raw power is the right-handed hitter’s calling card. His other tools appear largely to be average or slightly below, and it remains unclear precisely what position Tomas will play and how his defensive ability will shake out. Though considered mobile in relation to his hulking frame, Tomas has drawn some concerns about his body and overall conditioning.

I can see them going cheap for rest of the offseason. :x at thought of having Arias play 3rd all season

 

[lazyj10]

Can Gary Brown play 3B?

 

[chris82790]

Not getting a good feeling about this offseason.

 

[TheGodFresco]

Hate the fact we lost Tomas.. Much less a division rival

 

[wooster]

Awful start to the offseason!

Sabean will overpay Headley now :x

 

[chris82790]

Exactly what I was worried about. We would strikeout/lowball impact players and then overpay mediocre players and rely on Pagan to stay healthy, a platoon LF, an average pitching staff after Bumgarner, and the same ******* bench all over again.

Exactly what I said.  Headley will be a Giant unfortunately.  4/$52M sounds about right.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Money for Lester?

i can also see they overpaying for torii hunter as well

 

[based mod]

Who are the big FAs after 2015?

Supply vs demand. He is the best available option just hope a deal is more a long the lines of 4/42.

I too am ready to wash my hands of Romo.

 

[SojuOppa]

I might have to cop one of the orange alternates. 

 

[Nawzlew]

Copped the Bumgarner rep for $60!

 

[aec23]

What do you guys think about Lester? You think we actually have a shot of getting him? How kind of deal would you give him?

 

[red80]

i would love Lester, but there's reports coming out now that the dodgers are going after him hard. 

 

[chris82790]

They need a backup plan just in case they face STL again

I doubt we get Lester. When was the last time we have signed a big time FA for big money.

 

[lazyj10]

Zeets baby....Zeets

Who will probably be back
