The San Francisco Giants have officially traded two-time Gold Glove-winning catcher Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians, and the Thompson 2 Clark crew has some strong feelings about it!
In this clip, Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales dive into why this move might actually be a win for the Giants' clubhouse and their personal sanity. While Bailey was a defensive wizard, his offensive struggles—highlighted by a plummeting .146 batting average in 2026—became a major pain point for fans and analysts alike.
Brad and Garrett discuss:
Addition by Subtraction: Why moving on from Bailey's poor offense makes the Giants' lineup more watchable.
The ABS Factor: How the Automated Ball-Strike system might be decreasing the value of "elite framers" like Bailey.
New Opportunities: Does this open the door for more consistent bats in the Giants' lineup?
Was this a "Good Trade" or a "Bad Trade"? We want to hear from you! Is a pitching prospect like Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson and a draft pick enough of a return for a former first-round pick?
