Good morning, baseball fans!
Because of the lockout causing the off-season to pause for nearly 100 days, the frenzy for teams to fill out rosters and free agents to find new homes continues, even as spring training games began this weekend.
Most of the high-profile free agents had signed without much rumored interest from the San Francisco Giants (with the slight exception of Kris Bryant), but that was not the case with former Colorado Rockies’ infielder Trevor Story (who was, coincidentally, just replaced by Bryant).
The Giants were rumored to be one of the final teams in the mix for Story, who had a down year in 2021, which made him an obvious target for the fixer-upper Giants organization.
