The San Francisco Giants signed Luis Araz to a one-year contract, hoping the three-time batting champion can help solidify their offense after last season’s blockbuster trade that brought Rafael Devers to the Bay Area. However, after going 81-81, have the Giants done enough to compete for a championship?

As far as this episode is concerned baseball bat-b-actorJake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman take a look at president of baseball operations Buster Posey’s questionable offseason for the Giants. While there are certainly some difficulties associated with being in the same division as the Los Angeles Dodgers, should the Giants do more to show their commitment to winning? Can they still find a way to improve their rotation before the season starts?
Later, Jordan and Jake talk about the St. Louis Cardinals’ three-team deal to trade Brendan Donovan to the Seattle Mariners and why he will be a key player for them. They then discuss the Chicago White Sox’s active status over the weekend, the Sacramento Athletics’ signing of Jacob Wilson’s contract extension, and then they get to discussing the issues insurance poses to the World Baseball Classic roster.
