The Giants just landed Andrew McCutchen. So much for them taking Jacoby Ellsbury?

The city that offered a beacon of hope for saving us from the last three years of Jacoby Ellsbury's bear-trap contract just acquired Andrew McCutchen to play centerfield next year. They gave up some decent prospects, plus they'll pick up his $14.5 million salary. It's mostly a money dump. The Pirates are applying for Houston Astros/Philadelphia 76ers hardship status. Book your Wild Card playoff tickets in Pittsburgh for October 2020! 

Not sure how to feel here...

 On one hand, the Giants just found their everyday centerfielder. They were our best hope as a destination that Ellsbury would accept and waive his no-trade clause. So... blaugggggggggggh.

 Then again, having now hauled in Evan Longoria and McCutchen from the recycling bins, the Giants are clearly going all in on 2018, and they still have a corner outfield slot vacant. Would they take the Chief at $10 million (we'd pay the other $11 mill?)

 If so - and he'd say yes - we keep Red Thunder and maybe go in on Yu Darvish! Yes, Red Thunder and Yu too!

 It's now or never for Cashman. But listenup, people:

If he somehow pulls it off, Cashman hereby gets ONE YEAR OF LIBEL PROTECTION from It Is High. You hear me? ONE YEAR OF LIBEL PROTECTION. That means no negative comments, no sarcasm, no death threats, no snide remarks about his mustache, no disturbing words... for an entire year.*

 *Unless things go south. Then he's dead to us. Why the hell didn't he get the Giants to take Ellsbury instead of McCutchen? What a sluggo!

    Libel Protection does not apply, and the terms and conditions are null and void in the face of everyday reality, no matter whether we go south or not. We all have big mouths, big heads, and hot tempers around here. When we're not being cool and suave, that is. Cash makes the big bucks by being on the hot seat. Not until November champagne is pouring down the nape of his shaved neck will I cut him one IOTA of slack.
