With a Lingering Aaron Judge Regret, San Francisco Giants Gear Up for Massive Spending Spree

All the MLB clubhouses were racing for a certain All-Star outfielder in the 2022 offseason. From the San Francisco Giants to the New York Yankees, several clubs wanted the tall-as-a-tree slugger in their team colors. Everything was right for the teams in question until the Giants chose to draft a certain outfielder over the giant slugger.

Aaron Judge was once again missed out on by San Fran during last season’s free-agency availability. While growing up in California, Judge used to heavily root for his favorite Giants team; he yearned to play for them someday. His dream, unfortunately, never got to see the light of day.

Losing out on luck has become a thing for the San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants lost Aaron Judge to the Yankees once again after reportedly offering him a $360 million deal. It was the same deal that the Bronx Bombers offered All-Rise, with the title of captain also thrown in. Judge, of course, accepted it. As 2023 progresses, will the Giants repeat their mistakes?

The free agency market of 2023 has been teeming with a plethora of promising sluggers. NBC Sports tagged this year as one of the biggest offseasons to exist in MLB’s history. Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Sonny Gray—pro players and prospects buzzing with talent—are making waves in the professional baseball world with their drafting possibilities.

The San Francisco Giants are finally making the right moves that might just help them clinch a World Series title after a nine-year drought. The Athletic says that they are all primed to splurge quite a substantial amount on the biggest prospects of the lot.

Will 2024 be the year for Los Gigantes?

It is no secret that the San Francisco Giants are already running for two-way phenom Ohtani since his availability came to light. They are also planning on making a trade move on Juan Soto, who is set to become a free agent in 2024. Other than them, players like Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Aaron Nola, Sonny Gray, Cody Bellinger, Tim Anderson, and Eduardo Rodriguez are some of the greatest prospects that the Giants can make a move on.

President of baseball operations, Farhan Zaidi, is already under fire after missing out on many prospects for the last few years. This further shows the Giants’ need to sign ballplayers best suited to the team’s requirements. Money should not be an issue, so landing a couple of legends in the making this year does not seem too impractical, to say the least.

Will this winter finally be different in San Fran?
