As someone rarely dared and who rarely accepts when dared, I totally get why the San Francisco Giants didn’t take me up on my dare back in September to spend $200 million on their 2023 payroll. But I still think they should have. Their roster would look even better.
Oh sure, they tried to spend a chunk of money on Aaron Judge or Carlos Correa. We never really got a sense of how deep they were “in on” Carlos Rodón, though, and it was never totally clear just how connected all these moves were.
