Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
Just like last offseason, the San Francisco Giants are faced with whether or not to bring back a free-agent ace. Carlos Rodón re-enters the market after one season with the SF Giants, and there's good chance the Giants let him walk just like they did with Kevin Gausman. ESPN and FanGraphs predict Rodón to receive a five-year deal worth about $25 million per year (about $125 million in total). That's very similar to the 5/$110M deal Kevin Gausman received from the Blue Jays last offseason. If the San Francisco Giants choose to let Rodón get his big deal from another team, what should they do? They've been clear that they intend to pair Logan Webb with another top-of-the-rotation arm. Even after letting Gausman leave, the Giants managed to replace his production beautifully in the form of Rodón, who got the same AAV as Gausman but over far fewer years. The alternatives on the market include Jacob deGrom, who's expected to land a short-term deal worth $40+ million, Justin Verlander, who's expected to come in around 2/$70 million, and Clayton Kershaw, who may be willing to accept a one-year deal but almost certainly wouldn't sign with the San Francisco Giants. Among those options, Verlander may be the most appealing because it's a nice middle ground between the absurd AAV deGrom may command and the five-plus years Rodón may command.

PostMedia's Blue Jays beat writer Rob Longley joins Steve and Graham to provide a feel for the buzz in Toronto, Edwin Encarnacion throwing out the first pitch, question marks with the pitching staff, Gausman's status, Stripling vs Berrios, lineup notes, Espinal being activated, Gurriel's recovery lagging, Kikuchi on the roster, leaders providing a strong voice, and gauging the Mariners' chances of pulling off an upset.
With Alek Manoah tapped to start Game 1, Jeff and Kevin debate which game Kevin Gausman should pitch in the Wild Card Series against Seattle. The guys then discuss if Toronto would be in this position if a managerial change wasn't made during the season and look back at the key moments and performances from this team in 2022.

Blake Murphy is joined by host of The JD Bunkis Podcast, JD Bunkis, to discuss the trust and excitement levels for Alek Manoah's first playoff start in the Wild Card series opener, the correlation between the faith in David Price's first playoff start for Toronto and Manoah's, and the concerns with Kevin Gausman's finger issues, before revisiting the debate between Robbie Ray and Gausman this past offseason (01:17). Then, the guys take a look at the betting odds heading into the 3-game series, and focus in on why centerfielders George Springer and Julio Rodríguez can be the x-factors this weekend (28:06). Afterward, FanGraphs' Ben Clemens chats about how he'll consume the first few series of the 2022 playoffs, why Seattle isn't benefiting from a matchup against Toronto, the strength of the Mariners' bullpen, Bo Bichette's ceiling as a hitter, and the other focal points of the series (54:25). Finally, former analyst for the Maple Leafs and current contributor at The Athletic Cam Charron jumps on to share where his fandom lies between the Mariners and Blue Jays, what stands out between baseball and hockey analytics, and why Robbie Ray scares him the most heading into this series (01:15:00).

Then, the guys fill out their Wild Card roster for the Jays while debating which catcher should be in the lineup every day, Ramiel Tapia's role into the playoffs, the reasoning behind keeping Gabriel Moreno on the roster, and whether they would prefer Gausman or Ross Stripling to pitch in Game 2 (24:14).

The Athletic's Kaitlyn McGrath jumps on to lay her case for the 2022 Blue Jays MVP, who'd she choose between Kevin Gausman or Alek Manoah, if we should contemplate giving the award to a position player, and if there are any concerns with Jordan Romano blowing back-to-back saves (30:18).

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
The San Francisco Giants will enter the offseason motivated to fix what went wrong in 2022. They'll have money to spend and talent on which to spend it. Which of the free-agent shortstops will the SF Giants prioritize? Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa, and Dansby Swanson all figure to hit the open market (Bogaerts and Correa have opt-outs that will need to be exercised first). The Giants really can't go wrong with this group of players, but the priorities should be one of Turner, Bogaerts, and Correa. Not only are these three able to impact the game defensively, but they're also middle-of-the-order bats. Was 2021 the aberration or was 2022 the aberration? The boring answer is that neither was an aberration. The Giants got what they deserved in 2021 and they've deserved their record in 2022 as well. The issue appears to be that the 2021 performance was not sustainable; so in a way, last year was more of an aberration than this year. But they got legitimately great performances out of many players last year, and a lot of those players have regressed and gotten older in 2022. The Giants will need to upgrade their team in the offseason if they hope to contend in 2023. Why aren't the SF Giants linked to Justin Verlander more often? He would make a lot of sense on a short-term deal but smart money would have him returning to Houston. Will the San Francisco Giants do what it takes to bring back Carlos Rodón? After what happened with Kevin Gausman last offseason (the Giants didn't make him an offer, per Gausman), it's not a safe assumption that they will pony up for Rodón. Short-term deals for pitchers may continue to be the Giants' preference, and there are options (Jacob deGrom, Verlander). Also discussed: do Giants chairman Greg Johnson's comments suggest the team is more interested in being a middling playoff team than a World Series contender? Who are four position players who won't be back on the Giants next season? Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
The BlueJays have me a bit worried despite the fact that they took 3 of 5 from Tampa. I hope Kirk is OK, and I'm concerned that Gausman might not have enough in the tank after throwing 103 pitches in a blowout loss. Do I worry too much? Will Vladdy sign a long-term deal and how much would you pay him? How about Alek Manoah coming to his teammate's rescue on Twitter? The Loonie Dog Tuesdays are a farce: Kids can't spend their loonies at a cashless venue. Roger Federer retires at age 41. He is the greatest, not Serena. He never retired from a match. Ever. More troubles for Hockey Canada, more English Premier games cancelled because there's not enough security, what with the Queen's passing and all. More changes at the Fan590, golf, tennis and more. Enjoy!
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker recap the Blue Jays' 5-1 victory over the Rays where starting pitcher Ross Stripling once again proved his worth. Rays analyst and friend of the show Brian Anderson previews today's series finale and the standout pitching matchup between Shane McClanahan and Kevin Gausman (27:19).

The veteran fans 27.9% with 3.8% walks. Grounders 38.6% with limited home run damage. A FIP 2.17 suggests a drop in ERA based on his numbers.

Apologies for the phone audio, but my PC is kaput. Today's episode features much ranting, raving and snark when it comes to the Toronto BlueJays. Yes, they are in a playoff position, but it's up to guys like Springer and Gausman to carry them through September. As well, the front office is dreaming if they think Nate Pearson is going to help this team. We get into Looney Hot Dog nights, which should be discontinued, and the Wave, which should be banned unless the home team is at the plate. We get into the US Open, a.k.a the Serena Williams show. Not enough coverage of Canadians by Canadian media. That includes golf and tennis. Join me and Toronto Mike for all the fun. Enjoy!

Blake Murphy is joined by Blue Jays analyst and former catcher, Caleb Joseph, to discuss what is sustainable about the Jays recent success, what Ross Stripling's return has meant, how Kevin Gausman can steer through waves of bad luck, initial impressions of Mitch White, and the challenges of being a back-up catcher (8:00). Former Jays manager, John Gibbons, joins Blake to break down what convinced him to get Twitter and start “The Gibby Show”, gauging the importance of analytics, where the Jays focus is or should be, thoughts on the MLB's new schedule, and what he misses about Toronto (25:00).
