Spending $64 million on a pitcher with more mediocre seasons than Cy Young Awards (well, the fact Snell has two awards is impressive) and saving, perhaps, tens of thousands of dollars by letting go a beloved, iconic voice of the team and a key ingredient in the fan experience makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Baseball is rich in tradition and Renel Brooks-Moon became an institution at Oracle Park and for the team. Pay her whatever she asks. But, one has to wonder if her vocal support for Black Lives Matter in 2020 and a primary owner who financially supports the far right 1776 Project and donated $3.77M to right wing political candidates in 2021 and 2022 are connected...
While the Giants are far from a good look in the JD Davis situation, thanks for offering that Davis had the ability to manage the situation to his favor. He can spin, but he had a chance to earn more. If Chapman rediscovers his offensive prowess and Wade Jr. continues to generate a solid OBP and timely hits, fans will, for the most part (well, he is playing across the bay), forget about Davis' leading RBI total from 2023.
In this era of multi-million dollar player contracts it'd be interesting to know what the Giants PA announcer was getting paid, what she was asking for, and what the Giants wanted to pay her. This move does make them look like cheapskates.

Anyone who thinks that Temple is the only gambling/ fixing problem that college basketball has is living in a fantasy world.
