MLB fans left unimpressed with Giants signing of Sean Manaea after striking out on Aaron Judge: "Won’t cut it if they don’t spend the big bucks"

The San Francisco Giants came into this offseason with money to spend and a need to add a lot of talent. They were not good last season, finishing .500 and nowhere near the playoffs. Coming off a division win the year before, they needed to retool and get back to the team they were. They made Aaron Judge their priority but struck out as he agreed to a mega contract of nine years and $360 million. It is reported that the Giants offered more, but they still left empty-handed. They were forced to pivot and have thus far not signed anyone of note. They did, however, agree to a deal with former Oakland A's and San Diego Padres' pitcher Sean Manaea.

Though it's not a massive contract, many MLB fans felt that Manaea wasn't worth it or that the they weren't signing anyone they needed to get. Others appreciate that the team is signing anyone right now.

They're also in talks with Carlos Correa. Both of those players are still available but seem less likely for the Giants with every passing day. What's next for the San Francisco Giants?With this signing, the team proved that it's not dead in free agency and that they are capable of closing a deal, although Manaea didn't have as many suitors. The next step is to do so with a free agent of note. Correa remains the best option on the market by a fairly good margin. Behind him would be Rodon and then Dansby Swanson. Will Carlos Rodon be back in San Francisco this year?The Giants must get one of those players. If they don't, then they'll have to look at players like Andrew Benintendi or Michael Brantley. In doing so, they'll officially have lost out on the superstar they needed and were so bent on signing this offseason. They weren't very good last year and don't look to be trending upwards unless something changes soon.
