Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back with a Jeff Kent Hall of Fame episode… that quickly becomes a Barry Bonds episode. Kent is officially Cooperstown-bound, but the real story is the Hall of Fame’s increasingly calculated effort to keep out Bonds, Clemens, and any suspected steroid user.

Connor argues there’s a way to honor the truth of baseball history without pretending the steroid era didn’t happen, and the Hall’s current strategy is the opposite of honesty.

Once the soapbox gets put away, Connor and Kerry dig into what actually happens at the Winter Meetings, the Giants’ search for pitching, Buster Posey’s carefully vague updates, and the bizarre reality that the Giants managed to get nothing for Marco Luciano.

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley return and try to make sense about why a conversation about the San Francisco Giants now has to be a conversation about private equity.

The guys unpack why the Giants are reportedly shying away from big deals, how deferred money and managerial payouts factor in, and what role the team’s new private equity partners may (or may not) be playing behind the scenes. Plus, listener reactions to Kerry’s Hunter Greene trade idea, and whether a win-now roster can actually afford to wait.

On today’s postcard:
— Kerry defends his Bryce Eldridge trade idea (3:40)
— Why the Giants don't plan to spend big, according to Andrew Baggarly's latest story (7:24)
— Rolling back the memories as Connor clears out his bobblehead collection (28:08)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back, live(ish) from San Francisco. They dive straight into the biggest Giants question of the winter: should the team trade Bryce Eldridge? With a win-now core, the guys debate whether the Giants can afford to wait — or whether Eldridge’s peak value is too good to pass up.

They also sort through Tony Vitello’s growing coaching staff, from Justin Meccage’s Pirates baggage to the wonderfully absurd arrival of hitting coach Hunter Mense. Plus: Rule 5 roulette, a few old free-agent heartbreaks, and a couple listener reviews to wrap things up.

On today’s postcard:
— The Eldridge decision and the Giants’ timeline (3:38)
— Tony V’s staff (and that name… Hunter Mense) (10:19)
— No Rule 5 protections — what does it say? (44:49)
— Free-agent misses that still haunt (49:28)

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley return for an offseason edition of Giants Postcards.

Kerry shares his first impressions of Tony Vitello, who sounded sure of himself even if he's not sure what to do next. No bold promises, no new identity—just a whole lot of energy. Connor wonders what that means for a team whose expectations somehow never seem to change.

They also unpack the tricky path ahead this winter, highlighted by their need for a closer and the precarious nature of paying for an expensive one. Remember Mark Melancon? We'll find out together what Buster Posey's playbook is.

Here's what else is on tap:
5:17 — Takeaways from Tony Vitello’s introduction
17:02 — Do you sign a closer for big money?
25:23 — Giants ownership dishes on Bochy, payroll, and more
38:18 — Yamamoto vs. Bumgarner, World Series kings
42:14 — Watching the Dodgers win an epic Game 7

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back to cover the latest unconventional chapter for Buster Posey’s Giants. Tony Vitello will be the Giants' next manager, the first skipper ever to jump from college to the pros with no coaching experience in MLB.

It’s a swing that feels equal parts inspired and insane. Maybe Vitello’s edge and energy is exactly what the Giants need. Or maybe a veteran-laden roster will want nothing to do with it. We'll find out real soon. Here's what else is on tap:
8:43 — Should Buster Posey build to beat the Dodgers?
17:58 — What drew the Giants to Tony Vitello?
27:29 — Who’s going to be on the coaching staff?
29:41 — How much of Gabe Kapler's influence lingers on?
37:36 — Why Connor’s more interested in Giants coverage than ever
