And the second-best out-of-house free agent signed during that time was Johnny Cueto, in 2016.The history is clear: The Giants a not free-agent destination. Never have been; probably never will be.And yet for the past few offseasons, Giants fans — led on by the organization itself — have been adamant that the team should — and will — bring in the best free agents money can buy.And yet again, the Giants have failed.The Los Angeles Dodgers have spent more than a billion dollars to sign the two players atop the Giants’ free agency wish list this December.If that’s not a wake-up call to the Giants’ organization and the fan-base, I don’t know what is.The message is clear, too: The Giants’ are a second-tier franchise.It’s a harsh truth.
