When are the Giants actually going to spend money? That’s the question as the front office continues adding fringe outfielders like Joey Wiemer instead of making the big splash fans are waiting for. Today we break down the Wiemer trade, what his speed, defense, and below-average hit tool really mean, and why his lack of minor-league options raises the stakes immediately. We also look at the flurry of smaller moves — DFA’ing Andrew Knizner, non-tendering Joey Lucchesi, tendering JT Brubaker — and whether these are simply roster cleanups or signs of a bigger plan. On top of that, the Giants have added yet another coach from Tennessee, longtime pitching developer Frank Anderson, continuing their heavy investment in building a new pitching infrastructure under Tony Vitello. But does all this mean a major free-agent move is coming… or that San Francisco is preparing to bargain shop its way through another offseason? Full breakdown, full honesty, and a full look at where the Giants actually stand.
