GIANTS HEATING UP: Bats Explode, But Eldridge Looming Contract Raises BIG Questions

from Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants · host Locked on Podcast Network

The San Francisco Giants are rolling — the bats explode again as they win their second straight and suddenly look like a team ready to take control of the series. Every starter recorded a hit, Willy Adames continues to look comfortable at the top of the lineup, and both Adames and Matt Chapman went deep. Logan Webb wasn’t at his sharpest but battled through it to secure the win, showing why he’s still the anchor of this staff. Plus, a major long-term discussion: Buster Posey and the Giants are taking a cautious approach with top prospect Bryce Eldridge, with no plans for an early extension — what that says about their philosophy and how it compares to other teams locking up young talent early. And we break down key takeaways from chairman Greg Johnson, including the organization’s stance on spending, roster building, and why the Giants believe they’re built to win now and long-term. 0:00 Giants Win Two In A Row 10:42 No Early Contract For Bryce Eldridge 19:32 Q&A with Greg Johnson Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-san-francisco-giants/ Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB Tune in for a detailed breakdown on the current state of your San Francisco Giants!
