After striking out on Aaron Judge, Brandon Nimmo, and Kodai Senga, the one word that will probably be used to describe this offseason for the San Francisco Giants come March is “failure.” That is unless they make a couple of big moves as the offseason calendar flips from 2022 to 2023. Not just to improve their chances of competing for the third Wild Card in the 2023, but to improve their chances in the 2023-2024 offseason.
You know, because Shohei Ohtani figures to be a free agent in the 2023-2024 offseason.
And after striking out on Aaron Judge, Brandon Nimmo, and Kodai Senga, with Bryce Harper preceding them, and a roster that isn’t going to compete for the NL West crown for several more years, the odds of them even having a shot at landing Shohei Ohtani are — right now — less than zero.
