The Giants were reported to have signed arguably the 2 best free agents on the market.
They ended up with neither.

One thing that the Giants incredible team of broadcasters consistently does is make sure we never forget that they're human, we're human, and we're watching a game played by humans.
Flem couldn't have done a better job with a heartbreaking situation. He let us in.
Dave Flemming was in the visitors' radio booth at Wrigley Field the moment the report of Willie Mays' passing was made public.
Here's what it sounded like on our airwaves as he passed on the news to Giants fans everywhere.

Giants beat the Dodgers 15-0.
They've won 6 games in a row, and 8 in a row on the road.
They've won 5 straight road series.
Since April 22, they're 32-19, which is best in the NL and 2nd in the Majors.

This offseason the Giants signed a mega power hitter with bat flips galore, a pitcher who throws 104 mph, and a CF named Grandson of the Wind who slaps the ball all over the field, dives relentlessly, and models for McLaren.
They addressed last year's biggest flaw: boringness.

Even if the Giants miss the playoffs, not trading Blake Snell was worth it. No-hitters are that cool. We'll always have that. We'll always remember that.

By the way, the Giants are now 23-15 since May, which is 2nd in the National League. Their run differential during that time is +38, which is 1st in the National League.

Main takeaways from Jung Hoo Lee's presser:
1. Perhaps $$ was a huge factor, but abundantly clear he wants to be in San Francisco.
2. The Giants view him very highly. This is not just a PR pivot post-Ohtani, even if that's a factor.
3. Fans are going to absolutely adore him.

One added bonus to the Giants landing Jung-hoo Lee: his best friend is Ha-seong Kim, who will likely be a free agent next offseason, and has a great relationship with Bob Melvin.

4 starts for Heliot Ramos now, and here's how they've gone:
