After spending nearly $400 million this offseason, the Giants' mandate is clear: Win now. Missing the postseason would be a disaster.
When the introduced their new manager last October, Bob Melvin with stories about his past connection to the organization, his sense of wonder whenever he walked into the early-afternoon emptiness of their waterfront ballpark, and the times when he’d sneak past security to slide down the Coke bottle for good luck. That is how the offseason began.
It’s the first time the Giants have surrendered multiple draft picks since 2005, when they didn’t have a selection until the fourth round after signing Armando Benítez, Mike Matheny and Omar Vizquel the previous winter. Unlike those three players who signed multiyear contracts with no opt-outs, Snell and Chapman could be gone after one season. The last time the Giants gave up two draft picks for free-agent signings, Johnny Cueto was one of the big names they acquired.
