What’s next for SF Giants in abnormally quiet offseason?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:11 GMT

With six weeks until pitchers and catchers report, more than half of MLB Trade Rumors’ Top 50 free agents are still available.Only six teams have spent $100 million or more so far this winter, the Giants among them, allocating $121.25 million to Jung Hoo Lee and Tom Murphy.Although the front office struck out on its two top targets in the worst possible way — with Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto teaming up on the archrival Dodgers — the offseason hasn’t been a total dud for Farhan Zaidi and his crew.They set out to get younger and more athletic, and signed about the only free agent who fit that profile, a 25-year-old center fielder with the charisma to one day grow into the face of the franchise. They wanted to commit to Patrick Bailey behind the plate, and brought in a veteran backup all but assuredly ending his predecessor’s time in the organization.But after big talk of adding star power — prioritizing Ohtani and Yamamoto “above all other options,R...

Best TV 2023: In tumultuous year for Hollywood, these 10 shows found their mark

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:24:11 GMT

We close the book on a year that saw Hollywood weather writers and actors strikes, resulting in almost no work for nearly six months. Tough times for anyone who makes a living in TV.But it also functioned as an overdue course correction. Streamers have been loathe to admit they’re churning out more shows than audiences can keep up with — and providing inadequate budgets to market them all — and the 2023 work stoppage was an excuse to cut back on things instead. How convenient.The strikes hit TV networks the hardest. Broadcasters resorted to an unsatisfying mix of reruns and reality. But weekly episodic TV was already in a diminished state, and this is ironic considering older seasons of these very shows, from “NCIS“ to “Grey’s Anatomy,“ are among the most popular on streaming platforms. Only NBC managed to premiere new shows in the fall (completed before the strike and held back just in case) with “The Irrational“ and “Found.” Though mediocre, at least they were new! (The bar is low...
