The Athletic has gone and done it now. It has reported that Giants officials, including team president Farhan Zaidi, are entertaining the notion of reconfiguring Oracle Park. As in bringing in the fences.
They have one unassailable talking point, that of removing the bullpens from the field of play. That was a safety hazard waiting to happen. A year ago next week it happened. Giants outfielder Mac Williamson, while chasing a fly ball, tripped over the bullpen mound and suffered a profound concussion. So yes, fix that.
But the thrust behind the extreme makeover movement is generating more offense.
