Ohtani,
and that the problem I would like to point out an incredibly uncomfortable and
hilarious truth about this offseason, and it a two-parter. There a small chance
the Giants can get either Shohei Ohtani or Giancarlo Stanton this offseason.
There a chance a small, teensy chance that they get both. Heck, maybe Ohtani
gets so impressed when the Giants trade for Stanton, or ... look, I don know.
There enough of a chance that they get both that I can dream about it, at least.
Just like my dreams that Pedro Alvarez would fall to them in the 2008 Draft.
There a larger chance the Dodgers can get either Shohei Ohtani or Giancarlo
Stanton this offseason. There a chance a reasonable, significant chance that
they get both. If you want logic as to why theyl trade for Stanton, that here.
If you want logic as to why theyl sign Ohtani, it because theye a wildly
successful big-market team with a history of seamlessly folding international
stars into their organizational blueprint. In other words, this has the chance
to be a dream offseason for the Giants, the best possible outcome for a
franchise in sudden danger of becoming irrelevant. This has a better chance of
being the worst offseason in years for the Giants, something that could lead to
something like the nuclear winter of the 0s, where they were so far behind the
Dodgers that they made us feel better by not even pretending to try
Pierce
Johnson Jersey.It abhorrent and mesmerizing. Ie never had an offseason where
my daydreams are interrupted by apocalyptic visions of the future. Usually it
one or the other, and quite frankly, I prefer the offseasons with daydreams.
Both of them at the same time is disorienting, and I not sure how to feel about
this offseason. But I think Ie come to a conclusion. I fully expect the Dodgers
to trade for Stanton and sign Ohtani. Not just one or the other, but both. They
have everything in place to make both of these moves happen the money,
resources, and history and I trying to figure reasons why the Dodgers wouldn
want to pursue Stanton and why Ohtani would choose another team. Neither
decision makes sense to me. If that happens, there nothing the Giants can do to
make the offseason exciting. Not even a combination of J.D. Martinez and Jackie
Bradley would warm my heart. Stanton is the most compelling trade possibility
since Alex Rodriguez. Ohtani is the most compelling free agent since ... Alex
Rodriguez. Because of a few quirks and lucky coincidences, the Giants have a
slight chance to get one of them. Because of Ohtani decision to give up a $200
million contract, they have a slight chance to get both of them

Here someone with connections saying theye the favorites to get Stanton. Here
someone with connections mentioning them as one of the eight possibilities to
get Ohtani. If there a 25-percent chance of them getting Stanton, and there a
five-percent chance of them convincing Ohtani, that means there a one-percent
chance of them getting them both. Do you know what else had a one-percent chance
of happening? The Giants winning three straight games against the Reds in
Cincinnati, then turning around and beating the Cardinals and Tigers. You had to
connect some unlikely moments together ... BUT IT WAS POSSIBLE. And I still
rooted for it. I still peeked between my fingers to make sure it was possible,
even while expecting it not to happen. And it was one of the greatest
postseasons wel ever watch. That would seem to be the template, then. Hold out
hope, and enjoy it when it happens. Except, no, I going the other direction.
This is going to be the offseason the Dodgers make the Giants wear their
underwear on their head as they leave gym class

and it going to be in front of the whole student body
Hector
Sanchez Jersey. Wee all going to feel dumb when it happens, because we knew
better than to have hope. If it happens, Il be distraught, but not as much as I
could have been. This is because I already gone through the seven stages of hot
stove grief, and Ie landed on acceptance. If just one of these players chooses
the Dodgers, Il be annoyed, but considering that it could have been both of
them, Il be secretly relieved at the same time. If both of them spurn the
Dodgers and Giants, Il do a little celebration shimmy. Because, yes, I wanted
them on the Giants, but I stared into the dark abyss long enough to know what
could have happened, too. If one of them is on the Giants for 2018, the upcoming
season will seem like a blissful dreamscape with cotton candy trees. Baseball
will be fun once more. Even if the Giants don do much as far as contending,
theyl suddenly have one of the most watchable players alive. And if I spend the
next few weeks assuming both of them will be on the Dodgers, I still get the
cotton candy trees if I horribly wrong. So that my advice to you Start assuming
the Dodgers will get both, and the Giants will trade Brandon Belt to make
financial room for Jay Bruce or some crap. Assume this will be the offseason
where everyone following the hot stove looks down like Wile E. Coyote and
realizes there nothing but hundreds of feet of air between you and the ground.
Prepare for it. Roll around in it and get used to the scent. Expect pain and be
happy with indifference, then. That my motto for the 2017-2018 MLB offseason
Chase
Johnson Jersey. There a chance that the Giants can do things beyond our
wildest expectations. There a better chance that the Dodgers could make us wear
those stained expectations on our head in front of the whole student body. Come,
wallow with me for a few weeks. I not going to pretend like it going to be fun,
but I am going to pretend that it going to prepare you for whatever about to
happen.
