The San Francisco Giants are officially entering a new era — but one that looks more methodical than flashy. In today’s episode, we dive into Greg Johnson’s revealing interview with the San Francisco Standard, where he made it clear that while starting pitching is the top offseason priority, the front office is not planning on throwing around $100 million deals. Johnson emphasized flexibility and shorter-term contracts over risky, six-year commitments — signaling a clear pivot in how the Giants plan to rebuild. We’ll break down what that means for names like Shane Bieber versus higher-priced options such as Ranger Suárez or Framber Valdez, and whether this cautious approach is the right one.

Then, we celebrate some bright spots — Logan Webb and Patrick Bailey both taking home Gold Glove Awards. What does it say about the Giants’ renewed focus on pitching and defense? And how might these honors reinforce the team’s next phase under Posey and Vitello?

Last but not least, my takeaways from the World Series.
