Last year, after Bruce Bochy led the Texas Rangers to a World Series championship, I wrote that maybe it was the wake-up call the San Francisco Giants needed to get their act together. After all, if seeing their legendary former manager win another ring with a big-spending, risk-taking organization wasn’t enough to convince the Giants to splash the cash, what could possibly make them change course?
Well, we have our answer. The Dodgers are World Series champions. If that’s not enough to force the Giants to go for broke this winter, nothing will be.
