Oh gently caress off we didn't even get him. Save your scorn for when the Cubs respond by trading for Stanton and signing Darvish, bumping themselves up against the luxury tax to win and truly joining the ranks of the Yankees/Dodgers.

Lol Halos will definitely play Ohtani in the outfield like an NL team would because they already have Pujols in as DH.

If Giants aren't getting Stanton or Ohtani they should either pick up McCutchen for as cheap as they can for one last hurrah and spend big in 2018 if that actually does pan out, or bite the bullet and rebuild.

Absolute worst thing they could do is pick up J.D. Martinez and gently caress the payroll right before the 2018 FA class.

Curious what number Ohtani picks. Think he'll stay with 16? 16 or 18 are both available. 11 is retired (Fregosi).

Stanton’s going to either the Cubs or Dodgers now, Giants respond by signing JD Martinez, Cardinals just count on walking Canadian muscle Tyler O’Neill becoming the new Mike Trout.

I would very much like to see JD Martinez falling down in the SF outfield for the next 5 years. But saying this means he'll hit 50 dingers a year for them.

I thought they had found their next guy in Luke Voit, an extra Beefy Lad who grew up in Missouri but he came down to Earth really quick after his hot start last year.

Our best position player prospects are outfielders I think and we have a logjam right now. Maybe Patrick Wisdom (3B) will come up and mash, but I hope not. He’s a Trump-supporting shithead on Twitter. I’m mostly just hoping Alex Reyes comes back healthy and keeps mowing people down.

A little disappointed. I would have loved to see Ohtani on the Cubs and got a little excited when they became a finalist, but then Schwarber would have been traded and I would have been sad so idk.

I thought the free agency granted to the prospects from the Braves thing was like minor league free agency versus IFA?

edit: Still cool though. Hope the Twins keep loading up on prospects.

Through more research I am finding that apparently all the former Braves players count against the 2018 IFA cap, not the 2017 one.

Speaking of the Cardinals apparently they're now listening to offers for Fowler.

Why do they hate him so much? The signed him to a big contract hoping he'd put up good numbers for them, and he put up good (albeit slightly less good than his career 2016 year) numbers for them. And yet they've taken him out of lead off, were saying they were going to push him to a corner spot, and are now trying to trade him. I do not understand.
