Kurtenbach: 5 under-the-radar free agents that could salvage the SF Giants’ offseason

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:13:16 GMT

Contrary to popular belief, the Giants do not need to spend the massive pile of money they allocated for Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.In fact, the Giants would be foolish to sign a big-money free agent now that those two players are Dodgers.No, San Francisco needs to stay nimble. With big money comes long terms — the Giants might be able to afford the pay, but they can’t afford four-plus years of a second-tier free agent.(If those guys were sure things, they’d be signed by now.)After going for the big play and failing — again — the Giants need to stay true to their systems (it did win 107 games one season) and remain flexible. Don’t do anything this offseason that you’ll regret next offseason.Of course, the Giants still need to augment their whole roster, but director of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi tries to turn the organization into a self-sustaining winning machine — one that might create a big-time free agent one day.Luckily, baseball’s ...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:13:16 GMT

But the conference won its other marquee matchups as Oregon smashed Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl and Arizona rallied to slay Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl.All in all, the Pac-12 finished Bowl Season — yes, that’s the official name — with the best record among the Power Five conferences:Pac-12: 5-3Big 12: 5-4Big Ten: 5-4SEC: 5-4ACC: 5-6(Source: NCAA.)The Hotline is wary of parsing each result across the postseason because so many players opt out of games in order to prepare for the NFL Draft or transfer.But every Power Five conference must navigate the attrition, so we’re comfortable drawing broad conclusions. And from here, it’s abundantly clear t...

CFP 1.0 changed college football, not all for better, and was necessary step in postseason evolution

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The four-team playoff changed college football. Not just the postseason and crowning of a national champion that finally could be called undisputed.College Football Playoff 1.0, which wraps up a 10-year run Monday night when No. 1 Michigan (14-0) faces No. 2 Washington (14-0) in the national championship game, created a new standard for success — and failure — for teams and conferences. It helped the rich and powerful become more rich and powerful, further nationalized a sport with regional roots and was an imperfect but necessary step in the evolution of the postseason.“I think what’s coming is going to be better, but this worked really well,” said Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick, one of the architects of the 12-team system that goes into effect next season.But not without unintended consequences.THE POSITIVEA four-team playoff made sense for college football when it was conceived in 2012, following 16 years of the Bowl Championship Series, whic...
