On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick examines the state of the San Francisco Giants' farm system. He dives into The Athletic's Melissa Lockard's Top 30 Giants prospects list, getting to the top five names. By this point, almost everyone knows that Marco Luciano is considered the Giants' top prospect. But what should we make of his 2021 season? He dominated in Low-A San Jose, but struggled after a promotion to High-A Eugene. He then struggled in the Arizona Fall League as well. Thankfully, his stock hasn't really fallen, because he was so much younger than the competition where he struggled. The sky remains the limit for Luciano. Next on the list, without giving away any spoilers, is some combination of Joey Bart, Luis Matos, Kyle Harrison, and Will Bednar. It's refreshing to have two pitchers emerge within the top five in the system, and Matos' emergence should be exciting for Giants fans. Bart has fallen in recent seasons, but how far? What should fans expect from Bart in 2022, when he's expected to get most of the playing time at the catcher position with Buster Posey deciding to retire?

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick joins Locked On Diamondbacks host Millard Thomas to discuss the San Francisco Giants' offseason. Millard poses a shocking but thought-provoking question: Are the Giants having the worst offseason of any team in baseball? While Ben certainly does not agree, it's hard to argue with the fact that the Giants have lost some of their best players. Buster Posey retired. Kevin Gausman is a Blue Jay. Kris Bryant is a free agent. While the Giants' rotation may have technically taken a step backward with Alex Cobb essentially replacing Gausman, Ben is happy with the front office's progress so far, bringing back Anthony DeSclafani and Alex Wood on multi-year deals, after both were quality contributors for San Francisco last year. Logan Webb broke out and emerged as a frontline starter, so overall it's a very solid-looking rotation at this moment in time. That being said, they need to do more. Ben thinks they need to add at least one more quality arm, and probably more. On the position player side, Joey Bart is one of the top catching prospects in baseball, so there is some hope that the Giants have their catcher of the future on the doorstep of the majors. The Giants aren't likely to spend nine figures on anyone, reportedly, but there are several quality position players left who figure to command $50-99 million. Ben thinks the Giants have a lot of offseason left, and will ultimately field a team that will be competitive in 2022 without sacrificing future seasons.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the San Francisco Giants' 2022 ZiPS projections. Last season, the Giants outperformed their ZiPS projections more than any team had ever before. In Ben's opinion, the projection failed to take into account the influence of the Giants' new hitting coaches, Donnie Ecker, Justin Viele, and Dustin Lind, who demonstrated an ability to make players better in the short 2020 season. This year, the projections still aren't fully buying the Giants' collective breakout. Brandon Crawford is projected to be good, but not great, and roughly league average offensively. Buster Posey, had he still been playing, would similarly be projected to be more average than great. Brandon Belt is projected to be an above-average hitter, but nothing like the monster he was in 2020 and 2021 when on the field. Ben also explores the projections for the likes of Joey Bart, LaMonte Wade Jr., Mike Yastrzemski, and Kris Bryant. Lastly, he looks at some of the Giants' top pitchers. Logan Webb has an excellent projection, and it seems that the computers agree that Webb has arrived as a front-line starter. Alex Wood, Alex Cobb, and Anthony DeSclafani are projected to be solid second-tier starters behind an ace-like Webb, but the Giants are still missing at least one more trusted arm, it would seem.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick examines how the San Francisco Giants currently compare to the rest of the league. With Logan Webb leading the rotation (and projected to be an ace), plus the re-signings of Alex Wood and Anthony DeSclafani, plus the addition of Alex Cobb, the Giants' rotation currently projects as baseball's ninth-best. It's a surprisingly good projection, and indicates that with one more big addition the Giants could have a top-five or better staff. Of course, health is not a given, particularly with Wood and Cobb, so more additions will be necessary. Ben also examines the catcher position, wherein the Giants may have a problem on their hands. As we saw in 2020, not having Buster Posey is a major hit to the Giants. With Posey having retired, the position currently belongs to Joey Bart and Curt Casali, neither of whom is projected to be great. In fact, the Giants rank dead last in terms of their Steamer projected WAR at the catcher position. Ben reiterates that the Giants may need to make a significant addition here, but it could be difficult because catching talent is hard to come by. They may just need to find out what they have in Bart, the former No. 2 overall pick in the country. Finally, Ben discusses the Steamer projections for the Giants at first base, second base, and shortstop. Brandon Belt, Tommy La Stella, and Brandon Crawford are projected to give the Giants better-than-average production at each position, with Thairo Estrada serving and a solid backup at the up-the-middle positions. Ben believes there is significant upside beyond the projections at these positions, particularly at short and first where Crawford and Belt have demonstrated in recent seasons that the sky is the limit under the influence of the Giants' new coaches.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the San Francisco Giants' 2021-22 offseason. Among the questions asked and answered are: Chances the team signs/trades for a veteran catcher vs. letting Joey Bart go in as their No. 1 choice for the catching position? Do you think Bart will actually start Opening Day? Or do you think the Giants will trade for the Yankees or Cubs starting catchers (Gary Sanchez, Willson Contreras), who only have one year remaining on their current contract, and have Bart No. 2 for the whole season and Curt Casali No. 3? Your thoughts on Brian Sabean vs. Farhan Zaidi after 3 seasons? Not results but more style, persona, media engagement, management style. What is the likelihood the Giants do at least one trade involving a mid-tier MLB player? They have a surplus of quality outfield prospects that should be attractive to many teams. Which current Giants pitching prospect has the best chance to make the starting rotation with an impressive spring training performance? Logan Webb extension: when? Do you like the Giants trading for someone like Jose Ramirez? Or is signing someone like Marcus Semien more likely? The Giants' offseason is going to be just as frustrating as the trade deadline, huh? Will they sign someone before December 1? Follow & Subscribe to the Locked On Giants Podcast on these platforms

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick breaks down the news that Buster Posey has decided to retire after 12 major league seasons. He leaves the game as one of the best catchers of all time, and he should be in line for induction into Cooperstown one day. Posey changed the Giants from the minute he burst onto the scene in 2010, a year in which he ultimately won Rookie of the Year and led the Giants to their first ever championship in San Francisco. Two years later, he was the MVP and he won another ring. Two years after that, another ring. All the while, Posey just kept on being one of the best players in baseball. Since his debut in 2009, only Mike Trout has amassed more FanGraphs wins above replacement. Hall of Fame guru Jay Jaffe considers Posey a lock for induction one day. Ben relives some of the best moments of Posey's career, from the rings to Matt Cain's perfect game to the grand slam off Matt Latos in 2012 NLDS Game 5. Posey won multiple Silver Sluggers, was selected to seven All-Star teams (and was snubbed a few more times), won a Gold Glove, and was Comeback Player of the Year twice. It will be hard to find a more decorated career in baseball history. Finally, Ben attempts to turn the page to what comes next for San Francisco. They've been so fortunate to be able to write Posey's name into the lineup most days for 12 years, but that's no longer an option. The team has one more year of control over Curt Casali, who can be retained for roughly $2M if the club so desires. The free agent market for catchers is bleak. There are some possible trade candidates, and of course Joey Bart is waiting in the wings. Ben is still not convinced that Bart is ready following his difficult-to-watch debut season in 2020. Bart's struggles, despite being considered one baseball's best prospects, is a perfect illustration of how truly special Posey was. He couldn't have been much better, and the franchise couldn't have been more fortunate to have him wear the orange and black for his entire career, from start to finish.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the San Francisco Giants' upcoming offseason. Ben discusses how the Giants have four openings in their starting rotation, and that will be their top priority. Kevin Gausman seems at least somewhat likely to return, given there is seemingly strong mutual interest. The Giants have had success revitalizing the careers of several starters, including Gausman, Drew Smyly, Anthony DeSclafani, and Alex Wood. All four were brought in on one-year deals, and hit the market in line for much bigger paydays following their time with the Giants. That should help the Giants sign more pitchers coming off down years, as they've established themselves as an extremely attractive destination. On the offensive side, Ben expects the Giants to re-sign Brandon Belt, who has been among the very best hitters in baseball since the start of the 2020 season. If Belt departs, that would leave a huge hole in the lineup, although the Giants could figure out first base with some combination of LaMonte Wade Jr., Tommy La Stella, Darin Ruf, and Wilmer Flores. Keep in mind, however, that there's likely to be a universal DH in baseball next year, so the Giants will have an additional offensive spot in the lineup to fill every day. That could create a better opportunity for younger players like Joey Bart. Signing other offensive players, even big fish at the top of the market, remains a distinct possibility as well. The Giants have only about $40M committed for 2022, after being near $200M in annual payroll not long ago. Watch Daily on YouTube http://bit.ly/LOGYouTube Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the San Francisco Giants' season-ending press conference with president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi and manager Gabe Kapler. Zaidi spoke about the team's desire to retain Buster Posey, who's going to spend some time talking with his wife and deciding his future. The Giants hold a $22M club option on Posey for 2022, and it's a no-brainer for the Giants to at least pick that up, if not extend Posey, assuming he wants to keep playing. Joey Bart doesn't appear ready to take over a primary role at the major-league level, and the free-agent market offers no solutions at the catcher position. Ben also discusses how the Giants will approach Brandon Belt and Kris Bryant's free agencies, as well as all members of the starting rotation reaching free agency besides Logan Webb. There are a lot of talented free-agent pitchers out there this winter, as well as young stud position players like Carlos Correa and Corey Seager. Expect the Giants to be among the most active teams in baseball this winter as they have money to spend and a 107-win season to back up.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers listeners' questions about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: Do you think Kris Bryant will ultimately re-sign with the Giants? Is he worth a $200M+ contract? With lots of one-year deals, some with options and others without them, how much roster turnover do you think we'll have next season? Specifically which players do you think will come back? Which players do you think may choose to sign elsewhere? Do you see Johnny Cueto making the fourth starter spot and Alex Wood taking the long relief spot for the playoffs? Seems like there is one spot available for Jay Jackson, Jose Quintana, Sammy Long and Cueto with Logan Webb, Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Jake McGee, Tyler Rogers Jarlin García, Dominic Leone, Tony Watson Zack Littell, José Álvarez, Camilo Doval seeming like locks. Rank the following from most likely to least likely as to the way Joey Bart ultimately departs from the San Francisco Giants organization: a. Release/DFA'd b. Free agency (major league, minor league, other league, i.e. KBO) c. Trade of any form d. Retirement from baseball Does Steven Duggar beat out Alex Dickerson for a postseason spot?

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: Am I right to have given up on Alex Dickerson and Austin Slater? Do you think poor outfield play (Slater/Dickerson) will result in a call up from Triple-A? Heliot Ramos is the obvious OF we all think of, but Joe McCarthy's OPS is almost 1.000. What pending free agents are returning next season? Sean Hjelle just got promoted to Triple-A yesterday. What do you think is the likelihood we see him make an appearance or even a start in the majors this season, particularly given all the question marks around our rotation right now? The September roster expansion is inexplicably limited to just two additional players this season. Barring injuries, Steven Duggar and Thairo Estrada would seem to be the likely candidates.

In the second hour, Matt Spiegel and Ryan McGuffey reacted to star quarterback Aaron Rodgers reporting to Green Bay Packers camp -- and then setting everything on fire. Well, damnit. We've got every minute of the welcome-back audio. Later, Mark Willard of KNBR in San Francisco joined the show to discuss the trade speculation surrounding Cubs star Kris Bryant. How interested are the Giants? Is touted catching prospect Joey Bart in return worth the squeeze? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bonta and Shasky discuss whether they would trade Joey Bart for Kris Bryant if the deal was done today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the San Francisco Giants and the upcoming trade deadline. Among the questions asked and answered are: Tom Verducci said he thinks the Giants are primed to make a major move, similar to when the Astros traded for Zack Grienke. Who do you think that could be? Craig Kimbrel and/or Kris Bryant? Joey Bart for Max Scherzer or Kimbrel? Realistic or no way? How important is it for any addition at the deadline to fit into the vibe or mentality in clubhouse at the moment? And who fits that mold best? Who is most likely to be traded or released that is on the 26- or 40-man roster? Big time roster crunch imminent already not including any potential trade additions. Do you think the Giants win the West if they stand pat at the trade deadline, with just the addition of their returning injured vets, and promoted minor leaguers?

Andrew Baggarly & Grant Brisbee talk about all the interesting decisions and options for the Giants at the Trade Deadline. The Giants lost 2 of 3 to the Cardinals and were a few key hits away from winning another game or 2. They head to LA to take on the Dodgers for 4 games starting Monday night. With the second half underway, they talk about if they think some players will regress or turn things on after a slow first half. The Trade Deadline is a little less then 2 weeks away and the Giants have some interesting options on their plate. The guys assume they will go after some more pitching, but not sure if they are willing to give up top prospects for a rental. The Rangers, Twins and Cubs are a few teams that have some intriguing players that the Giants could be interested in. They talk about what Giants prospects could be available to make the right deal. Joey Bart is the big name prospect that teams could be interested in for a trade. The guys talk about if they think the Giants are willing to listen to trade offers that include Bart. And they talk about how they think the Giants need to pick up a player with some postseason experience at the Deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick talks about three things we learned this weekend with the San Francsico Giants. Club president Farhan Zaidi met with the media on Friday, and talked about how he is prioritizing starting pitching at the trade deadline. The Giants have several outstanding starters, including Kevin Gausman, Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, and Logan Webb, who returned to action on Friday and pitched very well on a pitch limit, but Zaidi is concerned about depth at the position given the rigors of a 162-game season. The Giants also made several roster moves over the weekend, activating Webb, promoting Joey Bart (then sending him back down), and sending Tommy La Stella and Mike Tauchman on rehab assignments. The Giants will have a serious roster crunch upcoming when these players, along with the likes of Evan Longoria, are ready to return from injury. Potential trades will also add to the crunch. Finally, Ben discusses the Giants selecting RHP Will Bednar with the 14th overall pick last night. Bednar is a physical righty with a plus fastball and slider capable of missing bats in the zone. He also has a bulldog mentality and seems destined to be at least a solid starting pitcher for the Giants in the not-too-distant future.

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: Who are the best and most realistic trade targets, and who would we have to give up? Are we willing to sell the farm for Max Scherzer or Jose Berrios? Are we going to go get Joey Gallo or another elite bat? Gallo and Kyle Gibson seem to make a ton of sense for the Giants. Would the Giants be able to swing a trade for both, and should they really look to make that big a move? What would a guy in the Gallo tier (and by that I mean Gallo) cost at the deadline? Marco Luciano has to be the one untouchable; would this regime be willing to give up a Joey Bart or a Hunter Bishop? Would a deal centered around Bart, Alexander Canario, and Seth Corry be a strong enough start for Sandy Alcantara? He seems to be the guy with the most control/upside that may be available, now that German Marquez may be staying.

Andrew Baggarly & Grant Brisbee are going to talk about the upcoming MLB Trade Deadline and what they think the Giants will be looking for to improve the team for a long playoff run. Both guys agree the Giants could use another starting pitcher to bolster the rotation. Would it be a good player with team control for next season or a rental? Are the Giants willing to give up some big name prospects to pick up a big piece? Andy thinks that maybe Tyler Beede was brought up to showcase him for a possible trade. They talk about if they think the Giants would make Joey Bart available if they could add a major piece. The Twins and Cubs could be 2 teams that the Giants could work a deal with and bring back some very useful pieces in the rotation and bullpen. And they talk about if they think a Giants and A's trade will ever happen again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick answers questions from listeners about the state of the San Francisco Giants. Among the questions asked and answered are: How does a team with so much depth incorporate prospects and give them a real chance? How can the Giants get Joey Bart some playing time this year without a Buster Posey injury? I can't see them keeping him down all year hitting the way he is. Who are the next two guys to go down when Tommy La Stella and eventually Evan Longoria make their way back? Would Ketel Marte be the ideal position player to trade for? Low K%, solid BB%, young, super versatile, and has a very team friendly contract with 3 and a half seasons of control. Seems like the type of player Farhan might consider trading real prospects for.
