Ohtani to the SF Giants would be so good for baseball. Ohtani to the Dodgers will have a negative impact on baseball and Ohtani. MLB could be in big trouble.
The
#Giants
are serious suitors for
#Ohtani
per recent reports. Unclear if they are front runners as of now but it’s looking like they could be.

The best way for Shohei to be announced to the SF Giants would be:

@blackwings2011
Joseph Kim

@susanslusser
Something is going to happen in next 48 hours …so bring it on Farhan. Let’s bring Shohei home then add Yamamoto and Lee.
@BobbyMilone29
Giants fans aren’t Salty. Giants have much better chance of long playoff run than the Yankees and therefore won’t be selling. If you are interested in trading Judge and Rodon …we could make Wisely available.
Blake Snell's contract will carry a CBT hit of $31M per season with the
#SFGiants
, pushing them well beyond the 2024 CBT threshold of $237M. Once finalized, their CBT amount will be around $252M give or take. It'll be the highest figure in franchise history.
Wow Giants and Dodger fans are actually in agreement on something…Ben Verlander is a buffoon. Jackie Robinson was the most important signing in all of MLB and certainly by the Dodgers.
"It's the most important signing in Dodgers history."
@BenVerlander
breaks down the impact that the Shohei Ohtani-Dodgers deal will have on this season and beyond.
The Giants have invited RHP Spencer Bivens to major league camp. He was here as a minor league mini camp fill in for the backside of exhibitions, and threw so well that the coaches were blown away.
@GrantBrisbee
The Giants don’t really need 5 third baseman. JD had to see that and hadn’t started for a week. I am confident this will end up better for him in long run. Also JD and his agent new the risk of going to arbitration and there was lots of buzz about Chapman far before that.
@giantsprospects
Zaidi also said that person couldn’t spell Arson. If you put it together it’s pretty obvious he is talking about Heyman. You need to apologize to
@GhostBayAreaBob
asap …he the King.
@CoopHUM
@SFGiantsJeezus
Hey Cooper , do you know Blake Snell is also from the Pacific Northwest? Can you put in a good word for him with Farhan? Much appreciated! Go Giants!
Jung Hoo Lee's home run came off of a 94.7MPH four-seam FB. There were concerns about how he'd handle velocity of 93+ MPH, but the first impression is positive.
@gggiants
If the Giants ownership wants to be a contender they sign Snell and take the chance. If they want empty seats and miss the playoffs by 5 games we sign a Paxton.
@ktfromthevault
My family from my wife’s side all live in Japan. They are pretty neutral on where Ohtani would play but prefer west coast because of time difference.
@SFGiantsGuyATX
A Giants vs Angels World Series would be the icing on the cake. Baseball is all about bouncing back after a tough loss. That’s all today is …a tough loss. Go Giants!
your yearly reminder:
players in the 60s and 70s popped amphetamines like candy, and more than a few of them are in the hall of fame
barry bonds and roger clemens deserve to be in the hall of fame too
thank you for your time
Shohei Ohtani's $700 million contract calls for him to be paid only $2 million a year for the next 10 seasons, with $680 million deferred until the end of the deal, sources confirm to ESPN.
The CBT hit on the contract is going to be around $46 million, a huge discount for L.A.
@gggiants
Heyman seems to have good details on Mets and Yankees contracts but not a clue when he talks about the Giants. He is actually very disrespectful to San Francisco and the Giants.
@annkillion
Joe Panik was a key member of World Series Giants teams and got DFA’d mid season…and it sucked. If Crawford went out that way it would be 10 times worse. It’s not a great situation for either side now but I think it’s the right decision. Crawford is and always will be a legend
@SFGiantsGuyATX
Actually Snell AAV would be $28.6 M (7 yrs) and Rays is $29.2 M (2.5 years). Price is very similar but shorter. I love the Ray deal and would also like Snell but prefer like a 5 yr deal.
@susanslusser
@sfchronicle
Good article Susan to clarify many things. I am confident JD will get an offer soon and hopefully with some incentives to make up what he is potentially losing. JD is a good dude and wish him the best.
@GarlicFryRy
Giants 2021 definitely wasn’t a fluke. Giants showed good signs for several months in 2022 and 2023. I remember in 2010 everyone said Giants World Series was a fluke too. Sometimes a adding couple good pieces can bring everything together. I still believe in this team.
@GarlicFryRy
Sheff Jr is Giants hater just like his dad. They fail to recognize the better franchise. They see our growing fan base , beautiful park and the future potential of our organization …it scares them.
@fp_jr
The Dodgers got to try something. They are competing with beautiful ballparks in San Francisco and San Diego. The gondola is just some wow they seem to like to bring up during coincidence free agency.
@BaseballJeff1
It would be nice if the Farhan/Dipito relationship worked the same with the Brewers FO. They have a few guys that would fit in nicely with the Giants.
@McCoveyChron
Melvin is putting the roster together and trimming it down by the day. Flores an JD are interchangeable and if you can only keep one …Flores is the correct choice. Making the decision now is preferable than 2 days before the season starts.
@GarlicFryRy
@SFGiants
Bart did a pretty nice job in the covid (asterisk) season during Posey absence. He hasn’t really been the same since. Everyone sees he has lots of potential.
@TheGiantsFan916
I lost my Dad a few years back and it is the hardest thing I’ve ever dealt with. Just take it day by day and cherish the good memories . Talk with friends and family and hang in there as it does get easier.
@GarlicFryRy
Definitely would root for Raiders against almost any team. Most older Niner fans very much liked the Raiders before they moved. Deep down there has to be some feelings for just about every 49ers fan from the Bay Area.

@kabegapler
I went to one Giants game last year that Renel for some reason was not the PA. At the first moment of someone else’s voice I was a little disappointed and realized how really good Renel is. My game experience wasn’t as good that day.

@extrabaggs
Dan I defended you, saying you have a good take every now and then. This is definitely not one of them. Actually you have not had anything positive to say in a long time.
