"Zaidi's Hints and Progress: Giants' Pursuit of Ohtani"

San Francisco Giants President of Baseball Operations, Farhan Zaidi, remained tight-lipped about the team's pursuit of Shohei Ohtani during the MLB Winter Meetings, but dropped a fun fact about Barry Bonds' success at Oracle Park. Zaidi highlighted Bonds' impressive numbers at the stadium, including a higher home run rate and OPS compared to his road performances. This could be a positive sign for Ohtani, who is reportedly considering the Giants as a potential landing spot. Zaidi also mentioned other free-agent targets the team is interested in, including Japanese pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, outfielder Cody Bellinger, and South Korean outfielder Jung Hoo Lee.

Max Muncy Dominates Giants with Career-High Performance.

Despite hitting two home runs and seven RBIs in the Dodgers' win over the Giants at Oracle Park, Max Muncy has never kept his hatred for the ballpark a secret, saying he doesn't like it because it's cold, windy, and the ball sounds terrible when you hit it. Muncy has hit 23 home runs and 51 RBI in 73 games against the Giants, and his slashline against them is .272/.385/.618.
