The San Francisco Giants should take a lesson from their former manager winning it all with a new team that was willing to spend, writes Dave Tobener.
Forgive San Francisco Giants fans if they were feeling more wistful than happy Wednesday night, on the anniversary of the Giants’ first World Series victory in the City by the Bay. The man who brought them that championship had just won it all, again, while wearing a different uniform.
Both teams developed players that helped them win games. But the Rangers spent and spent and spent some more, drastically overpaying in both money and years in some cases to get what they needed, long-term consequences be damned. The Giants have been averse to that philosophy and have consequently missed out on adding top-tier talent to supplement their roster.
