Back then, they had a big problem to solve: An old, uncomfortable ballpark that voters wanted to see replaced, but didn't want to pay for.20 years after the construction and financial success of Candlestick Park's replacement, Oracle Park, Baer — now the CEO of the Giants — embarked on an even bigger project, developing an entire neighborhood near Oracle called Mission Rock. “We're in the baseball business, but really, we're in the media, entertainment, sports, real estate business,” he says. Chapters:(01:05) - Growing up a fan (04:37) - Larry's dad (07:28) - Stopping the move (13:28) - The Giants in 1992 (15:18) - “What am I doing here?” (19:31) - Hiring with urgency (23:34) - Last out to first pitch (27:45) - Buster Posey (30:13) - The Candlestick problem (36:36) - Making a new stadium (43:00) - Always hungry (45:01) - Becoming CEO (49:52) - Homegrown talent (52:55) - The Mission Rock neighborhood (57:27) - Revitalizing San Francisco (01:03:20) - “It all starts here” (01:07:20) - What Oracle Park means (01:09:52) - What “grit” means to Larry Mentioned in this episode: Barry Bonds, Candlestick Park, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal, Josh Harris, Larry and Bob Tisch, CBS, Peter Magowan and Safeway, Charles Schwab, Don Fisher, Bill Hewlett, Arthur Rock, Charles Johnson, Harmon Burns, Bank of America, Walter Shorenstein, Dianne Feinstein, Bob Lurie, Bobby Bonds, Dennis Gilbert, Roger Craig, Al Rosen, Dusty Baker, Bob Quinn, Brian Sabean, George Steinbrenner, Bob Lillis, Matt Williams, Greg Johnson, the 1994 baseball strike, Chase Manhattan Bank, Warren Hellman, Jimmy Lee, Pacific Bell, Coca-Cola Company, J.T.

Puk to the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres ace Dylan Cease throwing a no-hitter against the Washington Nationals.Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman are here to break it all down for you on the latest episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast.

The Toronto Blue Jays are 31 games into the season. We decided to take a look at players the Blue Jays decided to let go this offseason and compared them to players that are in the lineup in 2024. We exchanged: Matt Chapman, Whit Merrifield, Jordan Hicks, and Brandon Belt for IKF, and Justin Turner, but this allowed for players like Davis Schneider and Ernie Clement to see the field more often in 2024. We compare these players' starts to the season, discussing which decisions we agree and disagree with through the first month of the season. George Springer has been good this season, but why? Carter does a deep dive into George Springer's struggles, finding the root cause of Springer's slow start to the season. Based on what you have seen from Springer, what does he need to do better this season? In this episode, Brayden breaks down the fanatic fiasco, as multiple organizations are trying to throw the blame on one another. Who do you think is in the wrong in this Fanatics Fiasco? Your current Toronto Blue Jays roster: Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Bo Bichette, Kevin Gausman, Jordan Romano, Alek Manoah, Yariel Rodriguez, George Springer, Yusei Kikuchi, Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt, Cavan Biggio, Justin Turner, Daulton Varsho, Danny Jansen, Alejandro Kirk, Joey Votto, Erik Swanson, Kevin Kiermaier, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Davis Schneider, Ernie Clement, Spencer Horwitz, Chad Green, Tim Mayza, Trevor Richards, Genesis Cabrera, Yimi Garcia, Bowden Francis, Daniel Vogelbach, Orelvis Martinez, Ricky Tiedemann, Zach Pop, Addison Barger, Nate Pearson, Nathan Lukes.

Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith joins JD to discuss the Blue Jays' Opening Day win in Tampa, José Berríos' impressive outing on the mound, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s majestic homer and encouraging swing decisions, which Blue Jays players bear the most pressure in 2024, and why he's bullish on Toronto's offence this season. Then, JD shares his thoughts on the Maple Leafs' 5-1 win over the Capitals, Joseph Woll's strong performance, and the response from the “Core 4” after Sheldon Keefe's public criticism earlier this week (42:54). Later, JD is joined by Brandon Belt, former Blue Jays DH/first baseman, to chat about his future, the lack of offers/interest that materialized in free agency, his level of dialogue with the Blue Jays' front office during the winter, the team's offensive struggles last season, his relationship with the Jays' young stars, and why the team's offence hit a snag at Rogers Centre in 2023 (50:11). JD closes the show by weighing in on Simon Benoit's three-year contract extension and the fallout from Thursday's Sweet 16 games in the NCAA Tournament (01:25:55). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

ESPN's Jeff Passan is arguably baseball's most trustworthy reporter, and he wrote today that "One team opposing organizations expect to sign at least one top-end Boras client: the San Francisco Giants..." Passan is referring to Boras' 'Big 4': Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, and Matt Chapman. It's not surprising that opposing teams view the SF Giants as a likely destination for at least one of these players. The Giants are still believed to be big-game hunting; it's just been a very slow-moving market. The impending close of Shota Imanaga's posting window is likely holding up the market to a degree, particularly for Snell and Montgomery. Imanaga's 45-day posting window expires a week from Thursday, and he is expected to command a deal of at least $100 million, per Passan. The Giants make sense for Imanaga, just like they do for fellow lefty starters Snell and Montgomery. Finally, Passan also mentions the SF Giants as a possible destination for high-end relievers Josh Hader, Jordan Hicks, and Robert Stephenson. He also lists the Giants among the select group of teams looking at the veteran position player market, which Passan says is "in danger of collapsing" due to low overall demand. The names mentioned: Teoscar Hernandez, Jorge Soler, J.D. Martinez, Justin Turner, Rhys Hoskins, Joc Pederson, Brandon Belt, Harrison Bader, Michael A. Taylor, Tommy Pham, Adam Duvall, and Eddie Rosario. It's difficult to see any of these players fitting the SF Giants well, but there are perhaps a few exceptions.

On your Friday episode, Sean Woodley and Mike DiStefano react to Chris Bassitt's masterful 7.2 inning, 12-strikeout effort against the New York Yankees as the Toronto Blue Jays picked up the 6-0 win and trimmed their magic playoff number down to 2. Off the top, Sean and Mike discuss Bassitt's outstanding performance to cap an awesome first season in Toronto. The front office takes it's lumps, but it really can't be overstating how much the Jays have nailed their big money pitching additions in recent years. Next, Sean and Mike discuss the bats getting going and the lineup change that bumped Brandon Belt up to the second slot ahead of Vlad Jr. and Bo Bichette in the 3-4 holes, which worked to great effect on Thursday night. Lastly, they take a look at the final weekend of the season as the injured Rays come to town with nothing to play for after the Orioles clinched the AL East on Thursday. What are we hoping to see aside from, you know, making it into the playoffs? Plus, if Kevin Gausman HAS to pitch on Sunday in a do-or-die game, who starts Game 3 in the playoffs: Gausman on short rest, or Yusei Kikuchi?

The San Francisco Giants' playoff hopes are almost certainly over. So it's not at all surprising that today, the SF Giants announced a flurry of future-oriented moves. The Giants recalled Marco Luciano and Tristan Beck from Triple-A. They selected the contract of Tyler Fitzgerald and added him to the MLB roster. Sean Hjelle was optioned. Brandon Crawford was placed on the IL with a right hamstring strain, and Paul DeJong was placed on unconditional release waivers.Hopefully the Giants give long looks to Luciano in particular, but also Fitzgerald. And give Tristan Beck, along with Kyle Harrison, chances to start games. SF Giants fans are sick and tired of the timid approach the Giants have taken with some of their young players. Watching them get jerked around back and forth between Triple-A and the Majors. Watching them get 12 plate appearances and then get sent down.

It's time for all of that to stop.Brandon Crawford may have played his last game as a Giant. He's eligible to come off the IL on the last day of the season, however, so even if he's injured he should be activated and get to walk off the field for perhaps the final time.

Although the San Francisco Giants were unable to complete a sweep of the first-place D-backs, there's no taking away from this great stretch of baseball the Giants have played. No team in baseball has a better record than the SF Giants since the start of May. The Giants are in the midst of one of their most daunting portions of the schedule, and they've been absolutely dominant. The Giants swept the Dodgers in LA, they took three of four from the star-studded Padres, and they took two of three against the D-backs, owners of the NL's second best record. This stretch has vaulted the San Francsico Giants into excellent playoff position first first place in the West within their sights.However, for the Giants, the injuries continue to pile up. So much so that they threaten to derail the SF Giants' strong play. Luke Jackson landed on the IL over the weekend with a low back strain, joining key bullpen pieces John Brebbia and Scott Alexander. Suddenly, the back end of the 'pen is just Camilo Doval, Tyler Rogers, and Taylor Rogers. In the rotation, the Giants are without Alex Cobb, but thankfully he should return on this road trip when the Giants play the Mets. Wilmer Flores is on the IL but should return in the Giants' upcoming series. Mike Yastrzemski went on the IL with a hamstring issue, and his presence will be sorely missed.Now the Giants head to Toronto, where they'll see old friends Kevin Gausman and Brandon Belt. Gausman is almost certain to pitch in this series, which will be very interesting to see. He's still a great pitcher, and he probably has some extra motivation facing his old team, to which he wanted to return but apparently he did not receive an offer.

Although the San Francisco Giants were unable to complete a sweep of the first-place D-backs, there's no taking away from this great stretch of baseball the Giants have played. No team in baseball has a better record than the SF Giants since the start of May. The Giants are in the midst of one of their most daunting portions of the schedule, and they've been absolutely dominant. The Giants swept the Dodgers in LA, they took three of four from the star-studded Padres, and they took two of three against the D-backs, owners of the NL's second best record. This stretch has vaulted the San Francsico Giants into excellent playoff position first first place in the West within their sights. However, for the Giants, the injuries continue to pile up. So much so that they threaten to derail the SF Giants' strong play. Luke Jackson landed on the IL over the weekend with a low back strain, joining key bullpen pieces John Brebbia and Scott Alexander. Suddenly, the back end of the 'pen is just Camilo Doval, Tyler Rogers, and Taylor Rogers. In the rotation, the Giants are without Alex Cobb, but thankfully he should return on this road trip when the Giants play the Mets. Wilmer Flores is on the IL but should return in the Giants' upcoming series. Mike Yastrzemski went on the IL with a hamstring issue, and his presence will be sorely missed. Now the Giants head to Toronto, where they'll see old friends Kevin Gausman and Brandon Belt. Gausman is almost certain to pitch in this series, which will be very interesting to see. He's still a great pitcher, and he probably has some extra motivation facing his old team, to which he wanted to return but apparently he did not receive an offer. Belt had a miserable start to his season but has turned it on in a big way as of late. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
