As discourse over San Francisco’s supposed “doom loop” seeps further into sports chatter, two unlikely allies — Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr and MLB super agent Scott Boras — are pushing back against San Francisco’s negative stereotypes.
After the Giants missed out on Shohei Ohtani, Giants part-owner and former catcher Buster Posey said players’ and their wives’ “uneasiness” about San Francisco’s perceived danger can factor into free agents’ decisions.
“Whether that’s all completely fair or not, perception is reality. It’s a frustrating cycle, I think, and not just with baseball,” said Posey.
