When Blake Snell opted out of his last start I think we all knew he wasn't coming back. Oh, I had visions of them throwing money at him, but after Posey was PoBOed reality set in. Of course the Dodgers have a spare $182M for a guy like Snell and the Giants aren't going to play that game. They don't have LA's financial muscle or its star appeal. Whatever. The Giants will have to improve in other ways. There won't be a Christmas Miracle like Juan Soto.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. We all have much to be thankful for. Perhaps the Posey Effect will kick in this winter and San Francisco will field a really good, really cool team next spring. Or perhaps not. Either way, life/baseball goes on!
I hope everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

p.s. The Giants have been linked to Tomoyuki Sugano, a veteran NPB ace.
