What’s it like to be a San Francisco Giants fan right now? I genuinely have no idea. First of all, I’m a Chicago White Sox fan, so I don’t know how to relate to rooting for a team that signs a big-ticket-free agent in the first place. The Sox have reportedly signed Andrew Benintendi to a 5-year, $75 million deal, and that’s the largest free agent deal they’ve signed in franchise history.
San Francisco tried giving Correa nearly five times that amount of money until they weren’t. I don’t know exactly what happened, but I know the result. Instead of the Giants giving Correa $350 million, the Mets gave him $315 million.
I hope the Correa family can survive with $35 million less, but back to my original question. What’s it like to be a Giants fan? First, your team excited you by signing a big-name player (after trying and failing to land Aaron Judge) and then loses the player. That’s got to be an emotional roller coaster.
How do you recover from that? How do you trust your team going forward? Maybe I’m better off rooting for a team that refuses to spend money because being profitable is more important to it.

Seriously, travel back in time to when the NFL schedule was released and convince yourself that this game would matter. It’ll probably be easier to figure out how to travel through time.
Anyway, the game tonight matters. Neither the Jets…
