  • Buster?

    You think Buster is the third most important player Giants history after Mays and Bonds? Have you ever heard of Juan Marichal or Willie McCovey? Look up Marichal on Baseball Reference and smile.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why San Francisco must listen to any offers this trade deadline
Q: What is the team's stance on Logan Webb in trade discussions?
Posey emphasized that Webb sets a leadership tone and is valuable to the clubhouse; the organization would consider everything but would likely resist moving him unless the return and circumstances were compelling.
Why San Francisco must listen to any offers this trade deadline
Q: Would the Giants trade major pieces like Arise, Schmidt, or Ramos, and how would that fit with long-term planning?
They suggested a flexible approach, acknowledging that Arise could be moved if a strong pitching return came back, while Schmidt and Ramos present valuable but different fits; decisions would depend on the draft and internal development plans for future seasons.
Why San Francisco must listen to any offers this trade deadline
Q: Why is Jung Hoo Lee so highly priced in trade discussions, and would Giants consider moving him?
The panel argued Lee is massively popular and has a cost-controlled contract, but because of his live fan impact and marketability, any trade would require a tremendous return, likely involving pitching that could help the Giants in the near term.
How Heliot Ramos’ return impacts the team's outfield situation
Q: Where does Logan Webb stand all time for Giants starting pitchers?
Webb is viewed as a potential top-six or top-seven Giants pitcher in history if he continues strong, with postseason performances and longevity as the key differentiators.
Casey Schmitt stays hot in San Francisco's series win vs. White Sox
Q: What is Zack Minasian's view on the current state of the roster and the major moves ahead?
Minasian stresses a process-focused approach, highlighting development in the farm system, the value of draft assets, and a balance between winning today and building for the future through continued evaluation and strategic additions.
