PRICE TOO HIGH: The Giants CHOOSE to Walk Away From CJ Abram's STEEP Trade Price Tag

The Giants didn’t just kick the tires — they went aggressive. New reporting reveals San Francisco pushed hard for Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams, but Washington’s asking price was steep: five prospects, including top shortstop Josuar Gonzalez. We break down why the Giants ultimately walked away, what this tells us about how the front office values its farm system, and whether holding firm was the right call. Plus, a deeper conversation about the infield: should Casey Schmitt finally be given a real opportunity, and why Tyler Fitzgerald’s past evaluations matter more than fans might think. We also take a look at where the Giants’ prospects stack up nationally, with multiple names landing in ESPN’s Top 100. What’s the balance between going all-in and protecting the future — and did the Giants get it right?
