Anthony Bass signed

Recommended Posts

I don't think we're making enough mention that this isn't a one year, stop gap, pretend we're contending and then trade 'em for a prospect at the deadline, type of deal. Giving him two years with an option for a third is a clear sign that they're trying to solidify the bullpen for a longer period because the hope is to be contending the next several seasons. And if 2021 is, understandably, not a contending year then at least they have Bass in the pen for another run in '22 and possibly '23.

Just saying that it could have been real easy to bring in relievers on one year deals only and they've avoided that.

Agree with all of it. 
 

and regarding contention, the 2010’s giants won multiple championships on the back of great pitching and mediocre hitting so we definitely have a chance to surprise!

Great points. We did the hard part of the rebuild; went from zero SP to making it an organization strength. Now we have to sure up the pen to make sure those good starts from young pitchers don’t go to waste

It could also mean that if we suck and he pitches well, we’d get more at the trade deadline since he’s not a stopgap.

But it would be great if we have a lineup that much better than "mediocre ".

Definitely lol

I have a feeling they’ll sign one of Nick Markakis/Eddie Rosario/Ben Gamel/Adam Duvall and to a much  lesser degree Puig and Céspedes since they both are coming off lost years so their value should be relatively low right now. Also, Contreras is still on the table 👀
