According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, three major teams seem to have shifted their attention away from Shohei Ohtani, and indication that they have perhaps been told they're out of the running. Per Passan, the Mets, Red Sox, and Rangers are seemingly out on Ohtani. Those are three teams that were legitimate threats to land the megastar, which only increases the SF Giants' odds of landing Ohtani. Passan adds that the Dodgers, Cubs, Blue Jays, and Angels are known to still be in the running for Ohtani, and that the San Francisco Giants' status is "unknown." Per reports, Ohtani wants things kept as quiet as possible, so that's not necessarily a bad position for the Giants to be in. The Winter Meetings kick off in Nashville on Sunday. What's on the Giants' agenda on the offseason's biggest stage? Landing a superstar should be priority No. 1. Ohtani certainly would suffice. Yoshinobu Yamamoto reportedly won't meet with finalists until the week after the Winter Meetings, so don't expect his signing to go down in Nashville. The SF Giants would be wise, though, to improve their team to prove to Ohtani that they'd be in a position to win with him. It doesn't help that Korean star Jung Hoo Lee has yet to be posted, as he profiles as a strong fit for the Giants. Cody Bellinger is another who seems to fit well. Finally, Gabe Kapler landed on his feet. We learned today that the Giants' fired manager was hired as Assistant General Manager of the Miami Marlins under new President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix, who was hired away from his position as General Manager of the Rays just weeks ago. Kapler joins several of his Giants coaches in landing on his feet after not being retained by the Giants. Kai Correa, Craig Albernaz, Andrew Bailey, Brian Bannister, Ethan Katz, and Donnie Ecker are among Kapler's initial staff with the Giants that now have prominent roles with other organizations.

Emergency pod!!! Per Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Mets and 29-year-old right-hander Luis Severino have agreed to terms on a one-year free agent contract. Jeff Passan of ESPN reports that the deal is for $13 million over one season. The former Yankees standout has dealt with some tough times since his 2017-2018 peak (3.18 ERA, 10.53 K/9, 2.27 BB/9, 0.94 HR/9 over 63 starts), but a decent 2022, a low-risk financial commitment for 2024, and a very unique change of scenery all lends credence to the Mets' hope that Severino can rebound after an atrocious 2023 (6.65 ERA, 2.32 HR/9 over 89.1 IP).  More analysis on the show.

They're the Yankees. Stacey and Steve discussed the report and talked about how not trying for a big free agent is worse than trying and failing. Let us know below if you agree.
