'A successful offseason has suddenly become a smoldering mess.'
Disaster. Embarrassment. Humiliation. Catastrophe.
It’s hard to put into words just how big of a debacle this situation truly is. Giants fans have been conditioned for years now to expect to be rejected by any free agent of substance, but this was the offseason everything was going to change. Aaron Judge didn’t work out, but signing Correa was an enormous win. The Giants were suddenly players for big-money, long-term free agents, with names like Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto on the open market horizon.
The Giants themselves could have cleared up their side of things with a statement but instead released athat boiled down to “sorry, HIPAA, what can you do?” with a shrug emoji attached and have remained silent since. Oh, that’s not entirely true — the team did send out emails telling people spring training tickets were on sale.
The offseason is a total, complete failure — perhaps the worst one the team has experienced in its history. The Giants failed on all accounts: They failed to get younger, they failed to get more athletic, they failed to improve their defense, and perhaps most damning, they failed to get more interesting. There’s nobody left on the market with comparable skills to Correa — sure, there are a few pieces they can add here or there but nobody who’s going to make the same kind of impact.
