"As Boras fielded questions about his clients and responded with pun-laden answers, news broke that 2025 NL MVP runner-up Kyle Schwarber and the Philadelphia Phillies agreed on a five-year, $150 million deal. Moments later, All-Star closer Edwin Diaz reportedly agreed on a three-year, $69 million pact with the two-time defending World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers. There was more spectacle in store, albeit the organized kind."
"The Giants, by contrast, are still exploring avenues to meaningfully improve their roster. At the halfway point of MLB's annual Winter Meetings, left-handed reliever Sam Hentges remains the team's only free-agent signing of this offseason. The Giants added outfielders Joey Wiemer (trade) and Justin Dean (waivers) and left-hander Reiver Sanmartin (waivers), but they still possess vacancies in their rotation, bullpen and outfield and could continue exploring options at second base and backup catchers."
