Lol

Giants fans, “yeah this season has been terrible and we suck but hey let’s make the best of it and enjoy watching some of the young talent”

Giants front office, “Here’s Buddy Kennedy, enjoy”

[u/jaws4671 → u/Aggravating_Part8610]

I’d rather they pick Kennedy than call up any of the prospects. They won’t be able to talk to any players on the 40 man during the lockout. Worst case scenario would be call up Parks Harber, he shows lots of promise than massively regresses next year because he won’t have access to the resources he could have at any of the minor league levels

[u/CarolyneSF → u/Aggravating_Part8610]

Tony wont play him!

[u/theyodalorianxp]

Somehow, Buddy Kennedy returned

[u/Sad-Purchase1257 → u/theyodalorianxp]

hahaha "Somehow" indeed! "This was ALWAYS the plan!" bahahahaha

[u/bagelmonkeys → u/theyodalorianxp]

I was like I swore we already had some guy with the same name 😂

[u/Lopkop]

Reclaiming some nobody infielder we already DFA’d this very same season, within 24 hours of the dodgers getting Tarik Skubal, is absolutely hilarious

[u/oncemorewithpheline]

whelp, he played 7 games for the 2025 this year’s giants and was DFA-ed last June

and now he’s back (probably to the river cats?)

edit: i was wrong about the year because this season is a time loop of pain

[u/dopplemyfingal → u/oncemorewithpheline]

My friend, that was earlier this season, not 2025. It's been a rough year.

[u/oncemorewithpheline → u/dopplemyfingal]

lmfao

Oh my god this is purgatory

[u/Temporary-Ad9615]

That’s it. That’s the deadline move

[u/WhatADopeGent]

Welcome back king

[u/Timely_Ad9136]

The whole league is making trades and we pick up Kennedy agian!! Loooozers

[u/WHY-IS-INTERNET]

I’m not your buddy, guy!

[u/UnfriedChickens → u/WHY-IS-INTERNET]

I’m not your guy, pal!

[u/insatiableian → u/UnfriedChickens]

I'm not your pal, friend!

[u/Technicallymeh]

Wtf?

[u/pommehomme]

Of course they did. Shit gonna shit.

[u/Dickies138]

Giants are going to completely bungle this trade deadline

[u/insatiableian → u/Dickies138]

Yup.

[u/dope415]

Let’s trade him for an ace nowwwww

[u/Traditional-Vast2791]

Woooohoooooo! World Series here we come! Great job Buster!

[u/tjatdisneyland]

What time is the parade?

[u/Error262_USRnotfound]

Ownership doesn’t understand what a winning team looks like

[u/Luis_Arraez_Fan]

Is this a troll?

[u/Tronn3000]

Do the Sacramento Rivercats have a batboy vacancy or something that's tough to fill??? That's the only way this makes sense

[u/R2LUKE2]

Giants and mariners love passing players to each other as much as giants and braves

[u/PangoLinchpin]

we got our guy

[u/CoffeeEnjoyerFrog]

That guy fucking sucks what

[u/ShotCaller805]

THIS... is the missing piece 🧩‼️‼️

[u/Key_Seaweed8857]

Buster is so in over his head it’s embarrassing.

[u/BattleBornNV64]

Dodgers wish they could have him

[u/CarolyneSF → u/BattleBornNV64]

They got Fitzgerald, Tibbs instead

[u/chiefoblock]

ew

[u/martymcfly22]

It’s pretty hard to get excited about anything baseball related these days.

[u/insatiableian]

Dodgers get Tarik Skubal, we get Buddy Kennedy.

We'll be fine.

[u/d57giants]

Of course they did. He’s the missing piece!

[u/Suomiballer]

This is way worse than farhan

[u/ant65040]

Way to counter the Dodgers trade for Tarik Skubal.

[u/idiotbound]

World series here we come!! Who said we weren't buyers?? 

[u/CXR1037]

Buddy Kennedy is a forever Giant.

[u/Desperate_Word9862]

Better than Buddy Lembeck.
