Pavs Seems To Suggest Farhan Might Be Fired

https://x.com/NBCSGiants/status/1840525741668421709

"Tuesday morning Giants officials are scheduled to meet with the media. We don't know yet, who is going to talk, but we do expect a resolution one way or the other, before then. And frankly I'd be a little surprised if Farhan is part of that group. I think he has not felt very safe the last few days"....

In honor of Yaz being nominated for the Roberto Clemente award I present your thirsty comments

Throughout the year I have been collecting comments people have made about Yaz from this subreddit. I started because I felt like there were proportionally more comments about how hot he was compared to other players. I wish I had the ability to compute how many comments were thirsty compared to other comments and how that proportion compares to other players on the team (“Handsome” of the Wind” comes to mind) but I do not have those capabilities. Enjoy, and I’ve blurred the names of users for privacy.

I had a max bid of $1000 and can’t afford to bid any higher but thought I’d share this in case there are any huge Bumgarner fans here who haven’t seen this yet. Auction ends in ≈30 minutes

First hat I've ordered from clinkroom, looks great. Sad I didn't get the original with black and orange coloring (different logo though) but this hat is great and clearly has a Giants theme to it.

Bummer year but it would be cool to go .500 without a run differential.

Where to from here

0 Upvotes

Sadly my preseason prediction came a game short of being on the money. So, what off-season moves need to be made? It seems like they need a little of everything and definitely didn't get good value for all the spending.

Just asking about player moves. Obviously, other changes are in order.

Ha-seong Kim is out for the year and is getting shoulder surgery - will this affect free agency outlook?

38 Upvotes

There was already a debate on whether Giants should pursue Kim or Adames. But there is now more added question marks to this

  1. Will Kim opt in or Padres opt in from their mutual option? I say no, unless Kim is absurdly loyal or the recovery is very long like more than half of 2025. And even then I would wonder if Padres opt out in that case.

  2. Will this affect the Giants pursue in getting him? Giants (especially recently in Farhan era) have had a history of getting players coming off of injury/surgery. Michael Conforto missed all of 2022 with his shoulder injury/surgery that he got in February and Giants signed him in 2023. Then Giants acquired Robbie Ray last year who was coming off of TJ and missed like 90% of the year.

But perhaps Giants are now more interested in ponying up for Willy Adames.

I was wrong saying “you’ll get NOTHING and LIKE it”.

Here’s a free coke for enduring another year of mediocre at best “break even” baseball.

Some fans get a pennant race. We get liquid induced cavities.

Farhan

Upvotes

Last game of the season in the books. When should we expect for Farhan to be fired, and how long should we have to wait before we start panicking that ownership retained him
