Markus & Crowley take a look back on the Rafael Devers trade, a move that Buster Posey made a year ago today and how it changed the trajectory of the franchise

Hour 2: The Rafael Devers trade, one year later, has been a major disappointment for the San Francisco Giants. The team's struggles on the field have been well-documented, but what's behind the decline of the once-promising star player? In this episode, we dive into the numbers and the narrative surrounding Devers' disappointing season, and explore what the future might hold for the Giants and their star player. The Giants' acquisition of Devers was seen as a major coup at the time, but a year later, the team is 69-93 with Devers on board. The numbers just don't add up, and the team's struggles on the field have been a major talking point. But is it all on Devers, or are there other factors at play? We explore the analytics and the narrative surrounding Devers' decline, and discuss what the Giants might do next. The conversation also touches on the Giants' overall struggles, including their lack of pitching prospects and the team's decision not to address the bullpen in the offseason. We also discuss the potential trade deadline moves, including the possibility of trading Devers or other big-name players. With the team's future looking uncertain, what's next for the Giants and their fans?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
