What's the Giants' big move or series of moves this offseason now that their archrival has added the best player on the planet to its roster? Bryan and Doug return not to lament but to plan out what the team could do that might help them save face while keeping pace with a team they were supposed to compete against, but after five years of a new front office, have only fallen farther behind.

The San Francisco Giants announced most of their coaching staff for the 2024 season this past Friday night, and Bryan and Doug examine the highs and lows of everyone's resumes. They also discuss Michael Conforto's decision to opt-in to $18 million for 2024 (a bummer? a shrug?) and the player awards season. All that before the (30:50) mark where they get into free agency and where the Giants can go based on their budget and based on need. Point of fact: FanGraphs projects 7 years/$196 million for Yoshinobu Yamamoto. For some reason Bryan said $96 million. The team has the ability to go big and still fill some needs, but just like their chances for next season even if they land a big fish this offseason, it's a little foggy when it comes to seeing where they stand with all the big fishes in free agency.

Bryan and Doug return to evaluate the San Francisco Giants' first big move of their offseason: hiring Bob Melvin away from the San Diego Padres. It's a move that crosses a lot of t's and dots a lot of i's but leaves very little to the imagination. Are there any actual surprises in store for the team or are they following a script written by season ticketholders? Meanwhile, some listener questions are finally answered including one important question the hosts had never before considered. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Giants fell face-first while running down the stretch and the President of Baseball Operations' end of season press conference did little to assuage any fears that next year would be different. Bryan and Doug delve into the obvious but also deeper meanings of some of the highlights from Farhan Zaidi's conference and toy with the premise that we're living in a new era of Baseball stubbornness. They also give their final trust power rankings of the season (32:08) and the results are shocking. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
