The Twins and an almost-old friend come into town today. How would the Giants look if they’d gone through with the Carlos Correa signing? Probably better! My latest for

Mitch Haniger is 32 and played in 57 games last year but I'm supposed to believe the 28 year old who's played in 284 games the last 2 years was just too much of a physical risk?

It’s impossible to express what Posey meant to the Giants and the fan base. Turned the franchise around. Arguably the most important San Francisco Giant ever.

So as I see it the rest of the day will go like this:
- Rodon signs elsewhere;
- Correa goes to San Diego;
- The Giants will be reported to have interest in Swanson, who’ll sign somewhere else tomorrow;
- Giants make a Rule 5 pick they’re really excited about

It’s hard to put into words what this meant at the time. So many years of heartbreak- I never thought I’d see a championship in my lifetime. But I was happiest for my Dad.

I remember before the 2010 World Series when the Giants brought out Mays, McCovey, Cepeda, Perry, Marichal and Irvin to throw out the first pitch and thinking how lucky we were to have so many living legends with one franchise. Sad to think about how many of them are gone.

This is the most optimistic I’ve been about a Giants team before opening day in a long time. They should be good enough to flat out make the playoffs, not just sneak in.

What an absolutely moronic thing to say. Buster could insult my entire family and I’d still vote him first ballot. Get a grip.
"Buster Posey lost me. I hope he doesn't get into the Hall of Fame. It's a total disconnect...If you ain't from the city, don't talk about the city. Do not say anything about San Francisco!"

Bumgarner can sign a 5-year, $125 mil contract with SF and turn into Matt Cain for all I care as long as I never have to see him in blue. Is this rational? It is not. I also do not care.
