Mike Krukow's Retirement, Series Loss to the Rangers, Giants' Loaded Farm System | Thompson 2 Clark

In this episode of Thompson 2 Clark — the San Francisco Giants podcast on BSPN — Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales react to the news that Mike Krukow will call it a career at the end of the 2026 season, wrapping up 36 years in the Giants' broadcast booth alongside Duane Kuiper. Brad and Garrett share what Krukow's voice has meant to them as fans and look ahead to the team's planned tribute at the regular-season finale on September 27.

From there, they break down a series that got away from them in Texas: the Giants opened with a statement win, 5-1, behind two solo homers from Jung Hoo Lee and six shutout innings from Logan Webb, before dropping the final two games — a walk-off heartbreaker in Game 2 and a 6-0 shutout in Game 3 — to lose the series 2-1.

They wrap with a look at the Giants' newly loaded farm system after a flurry of trade deadline deals. San Francisco added six prospects in the Arraez, Ramos, Mahle, Ray, Kilian and Miller trades, headlined by right-hander Ramon Marquez and lefty Henry Lalane, pushing the Giants to five players on Baseball America's updated top-100 list.
