With Ohtani off the board, how Giants can salvage offseason

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 12:27:01 GMT

The private jet-tracking, bunk reporting and sworn secrecy distracted from a harsh reality for the Giants: Shohei Ohtani is a Dodger, and he was probably always going to be a Dodger.Coming off two mediocre seasons, the Giants simply couldn’t pitch Ohtani on the type of consistent playoff contention he sought, the type of winning the Dodgers have sustained over the past decade.So, just like last winter, the Giants and president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi are left to pivot to Plan B. After Ohtani’s world record $700-million deal, the Giants still have all the same needs — a marketable star, a 30-home run hitter for the first time in two decades, a core of everyday contributors.No one player will fill all their holes.
