My guest this week is Giants’ left-hander, Luis de la Torre, who is coming off one of the biggest and most unexpected break out campaigns of 2025. De la Torre talks about when he knew big things were coming for him, how it felt to be given the starting assignment for the Cal League clincher, and the many big goals he has set for himself in 2026. He’s going to be one of the really fun talents to watch in the upcoming year, and as you will hear, he’s got some big plans for what he wants to

2026/01/27

Giants’ Senior Director of Amateur Scouting, Michael Holmes is my guest this week. With the college season just about to get underway, this seemed like a great time to talk with Michael about the impending search for a star at the #4 position in the draft. Given how much changes in the course of the spring, this seemed like a good time to talk process with Holmes: how does the team marshal it’s resources? How big of a net do you cast when drafting high up in the first round? When does the winnowing

2026/01/20

Once again this year, Giants’ Senior International Scouting Director, Joe Salermo, joins me to talk about the January 15 international signing class.

Joe talks about Hernandez and the Giants’ decision to build their entire year around him. We also talk about how Hernandez and last year’s top signing, Josuar Gonzalez, will be able to compete for

2025/12/08

I’m not sure exactly why, but it appears that the post for today’s podcast went out with no media attached to it, so there’s nothing to listen to when you try to play it. It sounded great on my side of the curtain before it went out over the interwebs, so I’m not entirely sure how to fix things other than to re-create a new one, send it out once more, and hope for better!As the Winter Meetings get started in Orlando, FL, I’m joined by Giants’ beat reporter, Maria Guardado of MLB.com, to talk about

The Giants have rather shockingly named University of Tennessee head coach, Tony Vitello, as the franchise’s 40th manager — a historic and fascinating hiring.
