The Giants may have lost out on Bryce Harper, but there are two silver-linings here. First, Harper didn’t go to the Dodgers. The second is that the Giants didn’t make the bone-headed decision of handing out $330 million to one guy just because he would have been the best player on the roster for the next decade and then some.
The Giants get to save that $330 million which means that for the next 12 offseasons the Giants will get an extra $25 million that can be spent oh so much more wisely.
