Good morning baseball fans!
As we approach the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general!
Today’s question goes out to all the armchair GMs out there: If you were the GM for one move and one move only, what would you do to improve the team?
I’m choosing to interpret this question as a blank check for mayhem, rather than a realistic move that the team might actually make.
Because that’s way more
fun!
So here’s my idea: A great Dodgers heist. Hear me out. We work with a third team, someone like the Boston Red Sox or New York Mets maybe, to somehow fleece the Dodgers out of Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
So the Giants would provide the third team with something they really want (money, prospects, San Francisco real estate, whatever it takes to get the job done) and then that team makes a trade offer the Dodgers can’t refuse, and then they immediately turn around and trade with the Giants. Heck, we could loop in a few other teams to get the right package. I believe in our fictional power to get this done!
Feel free to use this prompt as a blank check for mayhem like I did, or make a more serious proposition! Whatever sounds like more fun to you!
What move would you make if you were GM for a day?
