If you watch the interview he says it’s still early in the offseason and that he haven’t seen Santa yet. I took it as it’s not even December 25th yet 

Haha yeah, that is my interpretation of it.  I don't think he meant to suggest that some star player is "Santa."

I just hope we are not talking about Bad Santa who gave us Hamilton and Pujols.

We didn't shit right for a week

It'd be neat.  But the Giants may "win the offseason" if they sign Judge, Correa, and Haniger, along with whatever SP they sign.

Anything that hurts the Dodgers is great.

I really wanted the Padres to beat the Phillies in the playoffs. But for the next like 4 months I get to still point out to the dodger fans at work that they didn't even get bounced by the best NL team

Yeah but it didn't feel like it meant what we want it to.

He's an affable guy, haha.  But yeah, I think it was more of a "it's early in the offseason" than a "we have a really big player about to come" sort of comment.

Given this is the last night of the winter meetings, I was hoping for some more action.  Ah well.

Sounded more like the opposite: Long off-season, it's early. I.e. He knows there's holes, but don't expect anything this week necessarily - which would seem to mean nothing is close and/or they're not pursuing one of the big names.

Yep not many new rumors. I think Judge gets done tomorrow. Then the rest will start to happen.  Just my hunch.

Do they then point out that your team didn't even make the playoffs and has sucked for the last decade?

Of course they do. But then the argument shifts back to "mo ring since 1988, covid rings are as real as yoga pants that sit high on the waste and squeeze your gut into your ass"
