Friday was a busy day for the San Francisco Giants, as there was plenty of news to go around. The Giancarlo Stanton saga continues, with all the market centered on him, but there still hasn’t been much movement. Meanwhile, a Giants’ coach is staying put, they’ve made their pitch for one of the biggest names on the market, and contracts have been extended to current Giants.
Starting with Stanton, the Giants are, of course, not the only team chasing him. The St. Louis Cardinals are very much still of the thick of the Great Giancarlo Chase, and team representatives met with the slugger’s representatives a day after Stanton’s group did the same with Brian Sabean and Bruce Bochy.
