The baseball world has been expecting to see the San Francisco Giants<\/a> go big this offseason. They have been in the mix on almost every major name in the market, yet they have continuously missed out on the biggest names. This, in spite of Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi saying things like, “It’s going to be a big offseason,” and \u201cWe do have the flexibility to be involved in every possible option on the table.<\/a>\u201d They have certainly been trying to make things happen. The Giants were one of the finalists to land superstar Aaron Judge. Unfortunately, he clearly wanted to stay with the New York Yankees<\/a>–even refusing a “much larger offer<\/a>” to do so. Judge signed when the Yankees matched the Giants’ offer.<\/p>\n

The Giants were also among the favorites to sign All-Star shortstop Trea Turner. Eventually, Turner would also take a lesser offer to head East to the Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>. The Giants kept trying, and kept failing to land the big names. To their credit, it is hard for a team to land the biggest players when those players are turning down the highest offers to play elsewhere. However, the Giants were determined to improve their team heading into the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
