Yesterday, the San Francisco Giants' and San Diego Padres' most unpopular players in recent memory were discussed. Turns out, there were too many to fit into just one episode. Locked On Giants and Locked On Padres continue to point out the players who were not embraced by fans since they started hosting their respective shows in Part II of the "Love to Hate" series.Numerous recent Giants certainly fall into that category. Even in 2021, when the SF Giants won 107 games, Tommy La Stella was disliked for his poor performance on the field, frequent injuries, and generally unathletic nature. In the last couple of years, after the Giants DFA'd La Stella with a year left on his contract, players like Alex Wood, Ross Stripling, and Anthony DeSclafani have been the target of fan frustration. Joc Pederson might even qualify now that he left the Giants and liked a negative instagram comment about San Francisco on his way out the door.On the Padres side, there's one clear and obvious winner who stands far above the rest. Eric Hosmer is host Javier Reyes' greatest nemesis. So much so that Hosmer has actually blocked the Locked On Padres twitter account. Hosmer's strong reputation is contrasted against the experience of actually watching him play on a daily basis and looking at the numbers that show he might be one of the most overrated players ever.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants have had a busy and productive offseason, even if the focus is on who they did not sign, and that those top two targets—Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto—ended up on the Dodgers. The SF Giants have signed Jung Hoo Lee, Jordan Hicks, Jorge Soler (pending a physical which takes place today, per Susan Slusser of the SF Chronicle), and Tom Murphy. They've traded for Robbie Ray, who's rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and traded away underperforming players such as Mitch Haniger, Anthony DeSclafani, and Ross Stripling. Yet despite all this business and productivity, it's hard to shake the feeling that the Giants are one big piece or two away from being legitimate contenders. Luckily, however, it's February 16th and there are still four top free agents on the market. And there's no reason to believe the Giants are done just yet, unless they come out and say something to that effect once their deal with Soler is finalized. Pairing Blake Snell at the top of the rotation with Logan Webb is so tantalizing. The duo finished first and second, respectively, in NL Cy Young voting this past season. Adding a Matt Chapman to solidify third base is also intriguing. Both Snell and Chapman have played for new Giants manager Bob Melvin and seem like obvious fits. In other news, the SF Giants' (non-related) trade acquisition of Otto Lopez is discussed. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Logan Webb is a top-10 pitcher in major league baseball. The San Francisco Giants are lucky to have him anchoring their rotation for years to come. But beyond Webb, the Giants' current projected rotation is extremely inexperienced. The most experienced of the bunch, Jordan Hicks, has very little experience as a starting pitcher! The rest of the SF Giants' projected starters are young players looking to make their name in the game. Do the Giants need to add pitching after Alex Wood, Ross Stripling, and Anthony DeSclafani have all found new homes? Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast: Given how the Giants were reportedly aggressively involved in the Corbin Burnes trade market, doesn't that alone suggest they are still searching for a top of the rotation arm to complement Logan Webb to start the 2024 season? Is it possible to get Jorge Soler and Matt Chapman? Or is it one of them and another starter? Is it realistic to think the Giants will land both Soler and Chapman? Or is it a situation of just one? Is Luis Matos going to be a starter on Opening Day? Do you enjoy the SF Giants' brand of baseball? Are you happy with the direction of this team? Do you think this ownership is committed to winning - as in, is it a priority? What grade do you give the Giants for this offseason? What stat do you value most when evaluating pitchers?

The Twins are back from their hiatus on improving their baseball team, so John and Ben are back from a hiatus of their own. They break down the impact of losing Jorge Polanco (spoiler alert: they're going to be fine), where Anthony DeSclafani and Justin Topa fit in the Twins' pitching hierarchy, and how it paved the way for the Carlos Santana acquisition. Plus they take a look at the two prospects the Twins picked up. Finally, they give an update on the Twins returning to Bally Sports North for 2024 and how Amazon's short-term streaming investment could end up helping Minnesota fans.

We sit down with catcher Ryan Jeffers on this week's “Inside Twins” after a busy TwinsFest weekend, filled with signing autographs and meeting fans ahead of the 2024 season. First, Ryan addresses how he learns to catch new pitchers: namely recently acquired Anthony DeSclafani and Justin Topa. Jeffers also recaps his offensive breakout year, a season where he found himself starting in every Postseason game. The 26-year-old North Carolina native wraps it up with a trip down memory lane, reminiscing on his childhood bowl haircut and high school sweetheart turned wife.

Hello Seattle Mariners fans! Evan James and Kate Preusser are joined by East Coast faithful Zach Mason and Anders Jorstad to talk two trades and double the trouble. On this Tuesday, January 30th 2024, the Mariners have made yet another trade, acquiring utility man Samad Taylor from the Kansas City Royals for cash/player to be named later. In conjunction with yesterday's trade of Justin Topa and Anthony DeSclafani for Jorge Polanco, it feels like the Mariners might have fully rounded out the roster for the offseason. What does Polanco bring to this offense? Who doesn't make the roster out of camp? How do these trades crystalize roles in the infield and bullpen? And is there a move still yet to come?

The Twins traded Jorge Polanco to the Mariners.

Give it a listen... and let us know what you think!    

The Seattle Mariners have made a little noise as on Monday they traded for Jorge Polanco -- one of the club's longest-tenured players, in exchange for four players, right-handed starter Anthony DeSclafani, and right-handed reliever Justin Topa, as well as Minor League prospects Gabriel Gonzalez -- ranked No. 79 in the game by MLB Pipeline -- and right-hander Darren Bowen. So did the Mariners move the needle to be a serious contender this season? WSU men's basketball head coach, Kyle Smith joins the show to talk about how good this team has been playing, NCAA tourney here we come! The Mariners aren't done yet as they acquired INF/OF Samad Taylor from the Royals in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Joc Pederson continues his tour of the NL West, agreeing to a one-year, $12.5M deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks with a mutual option for a second year. If it doesn't feel like a big loss, that's because it's really not. The Giants' departing free-agent class is mediocre at best, and the biggest deals signed by outgoing free agents are Sean Manaea's two-year deal with the Mets and Pederson's one-year deal with the Snakes.Meanwhile, the Giants have added Jung Hoo Lee, who boasts excellent projections and cost $113M over a guaranteed six years, plus a $19M posting fee. They also added flamethrowing sinkerballer Jordan Hicks on a fascinating four-year, $44M deal and intend to use him as a starting pitcher. Tom Murphy was also signed to a two-year deal plus a club option for a third. The SF Giants also dipped into the trade market in a fascinating swap that saw Robbie Ray join the Giants with unwanted players Mitch Haniger and Anthony DeSclafani (along with $6M in cash) going to Seattle.Switching gears, the Giants' pitching projections are discussed. Logan Webb projects across the board as one of the best starters in baseball. Camilo Doval projects as one of the best closers. That's a good place for the San Francisco Giants to start, and they've also got intriguing young players like Kyle Harrison in the mix. Alex Cobb and Ray should act as fascinating mid-season "acquisitions."Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants recently made a savvy trade, acquiring 2021 Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray for two players who were highly expendable to the Giants. In exchange for Mitch Haniger and Anthony DeSclafani, the Giants picked up a left-handed pitcher with Cy-Young upside. The downside? He's currently recovering from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected back until about midway through the season. With that in mind, where do the SF Giants stand after the acquisition of Ray, in addition to their signing of Jung Hoo Lee for $113 million and their signing of backup catcher Tom Murphy for a guaranteed $8.25M with a club option for a third year? Well, simply put, the SF Giants must do significantly more to put a highly competitive and compelling product on the field. The Giants' moves have been solid so far, but they ought to strike big with one or more remaining free agents. Players like Blake Snell, Jordan Montgomery, Cody Bellinger, and Matt Chapman come to mind. The Giants' need to improve is especially stark in comparison to the rival Dodgers, who added Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto this winter. Locked On Giants and Locked On D-backs discuss the Dodgers' extreme spending spree and whether or not these huge expenditures—and deferrals—are good or bad for baseball.

The San Francisco Giants just made the most significant trade, by far, of the Farhan Zaidi era. The SF Giants acquired 2021 Cy Young Award winner Robbie Ray—who's rehabbing from Tommy John surgery—in exchange for outfielder Mitch Haniger and starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani. First reaction: This is an A+ trade for the Giants, who get Cy Young upside in exchange for two players who were not performing well and who created logjams on their team.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Logan Webb is one of the best pitchers in baseball. Camilo Doval is one of the best closers in baseball. Outside of those two, for the most part, the San Francisco Giants' pitching staff was a major mixed bag in 2023. But Webb and Doval, both 26 years old and under team control for five and four years, respectively, are a great foundation for the SF Giants. Webb led the majors in innings and was as effective as ever at run prevention. He had the NL's best walk rate and led the majors in ground ball rate among qualified pitchers. Doval continued to be nasty and rock solid for the Giants, and ended up tied for the NL lead with 39 saves.Next on the pecking order probably comes Alex Cobb, who was an All-Star for the first time in 2023 but tailed off in the second half as he dealt with a hip injury. Cobb notwithstanding, the Giants' veteran pitchers struggled for the most part. Ross Stripling was dreadful, and Sean Manaea had a really weird season with strong underlying numbers after an awful start. Both have the right to opt out and it's unclear whether Manaea will (Stripling almost certainly won't). Alex Wood and Anthony DeSclafani were not great at all. Wood's a free agent and there's one more year on DeSclafani's regrettable contract.Several of the bullpen arms were solid, like Tyler Rogers and rookie Ryan Walker. And then there were a handful of exciting young arms, with more on the way. Kyle Harrison, arguably the best left-handed pitching prospect in baseball, made his MLB debut and showed flashes of brilliance despite mixed results. Tristan Beck and Keaton Winn also showed flashes of their potential and those two, along with Harrison and Webb, could form the core of a good young Giants rotation for years to come.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

No fan of the San Francisco Giants wants to be in offseason mode on September 28. But that is, sadly, the state of the Giants right now as they were eliminated from playoff contention two days ago. And so look forward we must, and it begins by taking inventory of which SF Giants players are reaching free agency. Among the headliners: Joc Pederson, Brandon Crawford, and Alex Wood.Next are the guaranteed commitments for the Giants. Michael Conforto ($18M) and Sean Manaea ($12.5M) are possible opt outs, whereas Ross Stripling has already stated he will opt in. Mitch Haniger and Anthony DeSclafani are a couple of other SF Giants who will be back on guaranteed deals. Some good guaranteed deals include those to Wilmer Flores and Logan Webb.Finally, the Giants' arbitration-eligible players. This list includes J.D. Davis, Austin Slater, Mike Yastrzemski, LaMonte Wade Jr., Tyler Rogers, and Thairo Estrada. All six seem like pretty easy tender decisions, because the contracts will be cheap relative to free agent prices for similar production. Estrada stands out as a possible extension candidate for the Giants.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
