Kurtenbach: Signing Michael Conforto shows who the Giants really are
Look at the Giants’ offseason: their players are guys who already live in the Bay Area , dudes with familial ties , and former stars that want to use the Giants for a year to boost their value before becoming free agents again .
It’s been like that since Farhan Zaidi took over. A lot of things have moved, but nothing has truly changed. Zaidi is the one who is going to take the blame for all of this, and that is just, but the Giants lacking the mettle to play in the true big leagues is an overall organizational issue.The Giants are the 28th most valuable sports organization in the world, per Forbes. They’re more valuable than the French soccer giant Paris Saint-Germain, which rosters Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappé.
Conforto, in an optimistic future, is also a slightly above-average player in 2023 — think a slash line of .255/345/.440 slugging percentage.I’ll give you a moment to look up who Ian Happ is.
