After the Robbie Ray trade, I thought that the Giants weren't even going to try to compete in 2024. While I don't think Disco has a full season left in him, this trade sure seemed like the definition of a sell low with Haniger. Then releasing Stripling ... I mean trading him ... seemed to suggest that they were going to let the kids pitch. A half of season of Ray and Cobb and letting the kids pitch sounds a rebuild. But, the Chapman signing changed all that because it shows that they plan to compete for a Wildcard. With Ray and Cobb joining late, suddenly you can squint and see the Giants being the 3rd Wildcard which goes on to win the NLCS for the 3rd year in a row.
Also, I hope JD Davis can play a cromulent second base, so they can more Thairo to SS.
