  • What's wrong with the SF Giants?
    Jul 2 2025

    The Giants are falling fast. Their offense is ice cold, and the bullpen is cracking under pressure. So why now—of all times—did Buster Posey pick this moment to back Bob Melvin publicly and exercise his 2026 contract option?

    Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley break down the team’s brutal stretch, the timing (and message) behind Posey’s vote of confidence (9:00), and whether or not this is actually the truest version of the 2025 Giants.

    They also cover:


    — Panic rankings: Adames, Bailey, Lee (35:54)
    — Looking back at the Devers trade (45:45)
    — Giants All-Star predictions: Who makes the cut? (49:20)
