GIANTS TRADE PLAN: Why Another Loss Helps

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

The San Francisco Giants lost again—but this time, that may actually be the best outcome for the franchise. Another defeat makes it even clearer that Buster Posey shouldn't be tempted by a late-season surge that changes the organization's trade deadline plans. We discuss why the Giants need to stay committed to the bigger picture, why selling isn't waving the white flag, and how these losses could ultimately help accelerate the next competitive Giants team. Plus, Jeff Passan released his updated Top 100 trade deadline candidates, and several Giants remain firmly in the spotlight. We break down where San Francisco's biggest trade chips rank, who could generate the strongest return, and what it says about the market just days before the deadline. Finally, should the Giants already be thinking about the future behind the plate? We discuss whether catcher should become a priority as Buster Posey continues reshaping the organization. 0:00 Losing is a good thing? 11:13 Passan’s update trade candidate list 20:28 Catcher of the future?
