Moments before I hit publish on this weekend’s BP, I got an alert on my phone about this Andrew Baggarly piece for The Athletic: “Giants anticipate a payroll reduction in 2025: Source.” I skimmed it quickly and put a couple of quotes into that other post and then went back to sleep.
Having slept on it, I’ve gotta say, the San Francisco Giants are not the team we hoped they’d be after last decade. While they’re far from the team we imagined the past few years, I don’t think we were prepared for a sauceless, also-ran personality, not just after three championships in five years, but after winning 107 games just a few years ago.
