Giants fans fuming over Snell's reported $182M Dodgers contract

 Giants fans are expressing their frustration over Blake Snell's reported five-year, $182 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This deal, confirmed by Snell himself through an Instagram post featuring him in a Dodgers jersey, has left many Giants supporters feeling disheartened, especially since there were hopes he might re-sign with San Francisco after opting out of his previous contract. However, reports indicate that the Giants were not particularly interested in bringing him back [1].

Fan Reactions

The reactions from Giants fans and media have been overwhelmingly negative, with many taking to social media to voice their displeasure. Here are some notable sentiments:

Disappointment in Management: Fans are critical of the Giants' front office, suggesting that the team's management, led by Farhan Zaidi, has made poor decisions regarding player contracts [1].

Rivalry Resentment: Many fans expressed their disdain for the Dodgers, emphasizing that the team continues to strengthen its roster while the Giants seem to be falling behind [1].

Calls for Rebuilding: Some fans are advocating for a complete rebuild of the Giants, feeling that the current roster cannot compete with the Dodgers, especially if they add more star players like Juan Soto [1].

Snell had a strong season with the Giants, posting a 3.12 ERA and striking out 145 batters in 104 innings, including a no-hitter against the Cincinnati Reds. His departure to a division rival adds to the frustration for Giants fans, who will now have to face him for at least the next five years [1].
