Well, you can't say the Giants aren't trying.
As the chase for superstar Bryce Harper has reached the "refreshing Twitter every few minutes" stage, FanCred's Jon Heyman reports that the Giants are indeed trying hard to bring Bryce to the Bay.
The #SFGiants are telling people they are trying hard for Harper (this likely debunks the short-term theory for them, as it’s known Harper isn’t signing short-term deal). However, people who have spoken to SF brass said they aren’t necessarily overly optimistic.

While Heyman notes that San Francisco is not necessarily optimistic, the Giants' ability to be willing to go for a long-term deal shows how serious president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and CEO Larry Baer are in their chase to acquire the 26-year-old superstar.
