After non-tendering Gorkys Hernández on Friday, the Giants will have to find someone to replace him. Matching his production shouldn’t be terribly difficult. In 296 games wearing the orange and black, Hernández amassed as much WAR as Shohei Ohtani did between April 3 and April 8 of this year. What will be difficult, perhaps even impossible, is to replace Hernández’s reactions to bad strike calls.

If it helps Gorkys feel any better, the guy who threw that bottom pitch was also non-tendered.
