About this episode

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley discuss the San Francisco Giants' roster decisions and upcoming events as Opening Day approaches.

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back with a full spring check-in—from Oracle Park food news to roster decisions that are starting to come into focus. With Opening Day around the corner, the roster is mostly set, leaving the real intrigue on the margins. The biggest storyline: Bryce Eldridge is likely headed to Triple A. Connor and Kerry explain why it’s the right call, how Jerar Encarnacion’s late surge changed the equation, and why the Giants may actually be threading the needle between development and contention. Plus, a look ahead to the Giants’ upcoming Wall of Fame ceremony honoring Buster Posey and the championship core, and why it’s still a little strange to separate Posey the franchise legend from Posey the executive. On today’s postcard: — The Giants' embrace of 9/9/9 — Why Eldridge to Triple A makes sense — Jerar’s surge and the final roster battles — Building (and questioning) the bullpen — Stories from Spring Training Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard , subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com , and leave a rating and review — we’ll read it on the show.
