Giants fans will revolt this year. Their payroll does not match the talent they’re trotting out onto the field. The players that were given large contracts should take a hard look in the mirror. It’s been embarrassing.
Bobby Evans should be called and told he’s fired daily.
Amazing how he took a team that won 3 championships in 5 years, was just coming off a World Series win and promptly run them into the ground in a matter of 3 years.
Well, they got old quick…..
R.E.L.A.X they’ve won 3 world series in the last decade..you guys still have the taste in your mouths!
White Sox don’t have to report anything about Manny or Harper until they’re ready.
Thanks for the minor league spring training schedule. I’m not a Yankees fan but I live a couple miles away from the facility. The AA and AAA teams play on adjoining fields and the games are free, usually attended by the players’ families. Definitely worth checking out.
I’m sure most teams in the league wish they had a bloated payroll on the heaps of 3 championships. Giants fans will not revolt.
Richard Dyer is a moron.
OMG..Kimbrel, Machado, Harper and Trout. Everytime I turn to rumors the phills are supposed to sign ever freaking free agent. Yet so far they have none. Who is next..babe ruth?
Marwin Gonzalez is a perfect fit everywhere lol next article
