Doesn't surprise me. They know the Ohtani pursuit is a longshot.
I HATE it. Chapman is hardly a game changer. Basically a .230-.240 hitter with 15-20 homeruns. Yes he is a very good defender but that isnt enough to spend big money. Now, if they get Lee, Yamamoto, and Chapman thats a different story.

With how awful the defense was last year, and Melvin's Oakland ties with Chapman, it's the obvious move. Not that he'll be worth the money, but it's something I guess. This f/a class sucks.

I would be the one SFG fan very excited for Chapman

I'd be ok with Chapman if they added Yamamoto and Jung Hoo Lee who gets posted today.

Better have Posey there and Brock Purdy just in case.

only because Webb lobbied for it

Logan Webb excited about Giants, ready with Ohtani sales pitch: "I have strong feelings: I would love for him to come and play in San Francisco. I've tried to follow him on Instagram, and he didn't follow me back so I didn't get very far there." https://t.co/s61GDohByA

Thats exactly what I said. Give me all 3 and I feel great. Give me Chapman and no one else and I am sick to my stomach.

Shinjo entering Oracle Park like this during the Ohtani pitch might be our only shot.
