In actuality, the Giants will be a popular destination for MLB free agents this winter, despite what the public may believe.
As the team prepares for one of its largest offseasons ever, San Francisco looks ready to make a few major moves to try and revitalize a disgruntled fan base and retool a drab roster.
The Giants, led by CEO Larry Baer, owner Greg Johnson, and
president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi, are not a team like the New York Mets that will visibly display their deep pockets and willingness to spend whatever it takes in free agency, even if they are okay with potentially tipping over the edge of the competitive balance tax while fielding one of the best payrolls in the league the following season.
Giants fans’ disappointments from the previous two seasons have been amply shown in their desire to win and illingness to spend.
Even while the Orange and Black’s performance on the field was competitive at times, it fell well short of the championship aspirations that Orange and Black supporters have grown accustomed to. Over the past decade or so, the organization hasn’t tried to rebuild a single time. Even if it may not always appear like it, they are really dedicated to winning.

To their credit, the Giants have demonstrated their commitment in recent years. Since 2018, they have offered Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, and Carlos Correa agreements worth more than $300 million, and they have
been eager to take on the remaining $250 million of Giancarlo Stanton’s disastrous Miami Marlins contract.
Their latest three World Series victories have put them in a bit of a bind. not negatively. They will always field a competitive product and have an organization to uphold in terms of reputation and legacy.
The product i use, however

Yes, there are legitimate complaints to voice, but it’s undeniable that the Giants want to continue to succeed for many years to come.
Cornerstone children
Speaking of those three titles, the homegrown core of the Giants, which included Matt Cain, Madison Bumgarner, Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum, Brandon Crawford, and Brandon Belt, allowed them to raise the Commissioner’s Trophy in 2010, 2012, and 2014.
Comparing the Giants’ current crop of homegrown youth to that dynastic core would be ludicrous, but an intriguing core is developing. For free agents, the farm system and player development are crucial.
Patrick Bailey is a Gold Glove-caliber catcher for the Giants who plays behind the plate. That combined with Oracle Park’s pitcher-friendly boundaries might be a

A star’s devoted following starved
The Giants are still in the market for a superstar to build their roster around.
They let one slide through their fingers during the offseason, and although it turned out to be a good thing in the long run, it still hurts as a fan.
It’s important to note, though, that Correa did decide to sign a contract with the Giants.
