Fans of the San Francisco Giants have been on edge all day today after a hilarious gaffe from baseball writer/rake-stepper Jon Heyman infamously reported “Arson Judge” to the Giants. While Judge’s final destination is yet unknown, the Giants did get a badly-needed upgrade to their outfield: former Mariner Mitch Haniger, who signed a three-year, $43.5M deal with his hometown club.
When word broke that Haniger’s market was in the three-year range, it became difficult to see how Seattle, which has a wealth of young outfielders, could forge a reunion with Haniger, especially after acquiring Teoscar Hernández.
