In today’s episode of Locked On Giants, we dive into the uncomfortable long-term realities surrounding the team’s biggest deals, breaking down Matt Chapman, Willy Adames, and Rafael Devers through age, salary structure, and real roster flexibility. We look past no-trade clauses to ask a more honest question: when contracts collide with timelines, who becomes expendable? Plus, we react to national “Giants should

When will the Giants finally make their move? In today’s episode of Locked On Giants, we dig into why the market has gone quiet across MLB and whether the Giants’ patience could actually be working in their favor. We break down when real movement could begin, the Giants’ latest minor-league addition with Nick Margevicius, and what the silence might be telling us about the pitching and trade market as a whole.

What’s the uncomfortable truth about Logan Webb — and are the Giants heading toward a decision fans don’t want to hear? In today’s episode, we dive into Logan Webb’s contract timeline, his looming free agency after the 2028 season, and why the Giants’ long-standing reluctance to pay aging starting pitchers could put them on a collision course with their ace.

Is the market finally proving the Giants right? In today’s episode, we dive into growing doubts around Tatsuya Imai’s price tag, why the Yankees appear to be out, and whether a short-term “prove it” deal—similar to Munetaka Murakami—could now be the reality. We also break down a group of underrated free agents flying under the radar, including Michael Kopech, Zach Eflin, and José Urquidy, and what they could offer contenders willing to gamble.

2025/12/23

We break down why the MLB market is clearly cooler than projections, highlighted by Munetaka Murakami settling for a short-term deal after being forecast for a massive payday. We connect that to the Giants’ patient approach, recent roster moves like DFA’ing Wade Meckler and Joey Wiemer, and growing trade buzz across the league. With Bo Bichette increasingly linked to San Francisco, teams making aggressive trades, and evidence mounting that long-term megadeals aren’t materializing, the question

What if the Giants’ offseason silence isn’t confusion — but calculation? In today’s episode, we dig into the idea that San Francisco may have read the market better than anyone else. With elite names like Framber Valdez, Ranger Suárez, Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, and Bo Bichette still unsigned, the free-agent market hasn’t moved the way many expected. We compare timelines from past megadeals, question whether early contracts like Cody Ponce’s were overpays, and explore whether the Giants’ patience

The Giants finally add a starting pitcher, agreeing to a two-year, $22 million deal with Adrian Houser, plus a club option for a third year — signaling a clear shift toward stabilizing the rotation. In today’s episode, we break down Houser’s fit, his recent velocity spike, injury history, and where he slots in a Giants rotation that still needs another arm. We also cover the Jason Foley bullpen addition, what it means for the closer picture, and why the Giants are still shopping at the top of the

The Giants’ offseason messaging is getting harder to decipher. Tyler Rogers heads to Toronto on one of the richest reliever deals of the winter, while San Francisco continues to float between big-name rumors and cost-conscious reality. We break down why the Giants were priced out on Rogers, what that means for the bullpen, and why Brendan Donovan remains a real trade target with Seattle and San Francisco emerging as frontrunners.

The Giants continue to confuse the baseball world, and even Ken Rosenthal is calling out how unclear their plan is. On today’s show, we break down Rosenthal’s comments about why San Francisco isn’t spending at the top of the market—especially on pitching—despite already committing major dollars to Devers, Adames, and Chapman. We dive into why Bo Bichette and Brenden Donovan make so much sense as targets, how the messaging between Buster Posey and Tony Vitello seems out of sync, and what Posey’s

Posey called Eldridge a potential 10–15 year impact bat and emphasized the organization’s belief in contact skills that can grow into power — a philosophy that now shapes everything from trade talks to player development.We also dig into the

The Giants just made one of their best “under-the-radar” additions of the offseason – hiring Ron Washington as their major league infield coach (and possibly third base coach) – and it might end up being as impactful as any player move they make. Today we break down what he brings to San Francisco, how Tony Vitello pushed for him, and why having both Washington and Ron Wotus in the same organization is a massive win for Rafael Devers, Bryce Eldridge, and the entire infield group.

The Giants are interested in WHO now?! Today we break down the report that San Francisco has checked in on Kyle Schwarber — a 33-year-old, bat-first slugger projected for five years and $145 million — and what that says about their offensive identity and willingness to live with brutal defense for big left-handed power at Oracle Park.

We look at Lucas Giolito’s projected rebound contract, the price tags for Merrill Kelly, Chris Bassitt, Dustin May, Michael Kopech, and Zack Littell, and what this means for a Giants team that keeps signaling they aren’t all-in for top-tier arms.
