The Giants are betting everything on the bats

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back to make sense of two Giants moves that say a lot about what this team wants to be in 2026. Harrison Bader’s deal makes a lot of sense. Luis Arraez’s… does not. And yet, here we are.

The guys break down why Bader fits cleanly into the Giants’ roster, why Arraez is already conjuring memories of The Belt Wars, and how the Giants' biggest mistake is who they didn't sign.

Connor and Kerry also confront the scary reality that Buster Posey’s Giants appear to be planting their flag as an offense-first team. How's that going to go?
