40-man roster breakdown: the hitters
Briefly

The article provides an overview of the San Francisco Giants' 40-man roster as they prepare for the upcoming season. Key players highlighted include Willy Adames, who secured the largest contract in the franchise's history, emphasizing his critical role in improving the team's performance and entertainment value. Additionally, Patrick Bailey is noted for his strong hitting and impressive defensive skills, drawing comparisons to the iconic Buster Posey. Lastly, Osleivis Basabe is mentioned as a potential candidate for a backup infield position, indicating his importance in the team's overall strategy for the season ahead.
Willy Adames is the shining star of the Giants' offseason, given the largest contract in franchise history to solidify the offense, defense, and leadership.
Patrick Bailey started 2024 looking like Buster Posey, with an .830 OPS as we flipped the calendar to June, and Gold Glove defense.
Osleivis Basabe is in the mix for an Opening Day backup infield spot and will likely stay in the mix all year.
This team desperately needs more watchability, and Adames could end one of the Giants' two current curses.
