In this episode of Thompson 2 Clark — the San Francisco Giants podcast on BSPN — Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales dig into Brittany Ghiroli's deep-dive on Buster Posey's Giants legacy, the Athletic piece examining how Posey's front-office struggles are putting his playing legacy on the line and whether nostalgia played too big a role in his hiring.
From there, they preview a loaded weekend at Fenway Park, where Rafael Devers and Marcelo Mayer both return to Boston for the first time since being traded — Devers making his first trip back since the blockbuster deal that sent him to San Francisco, and Mayer returning just 18 days after being dealt for reliever Erik Miller. Brad and Garrett break down what kind of reception both guys should expect.
They close out with a look at the Giants' next wave of pitching. Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson just got the call to the big leagues with his deceptive, low-90s "Invisiball" fastball, joining Blade Tidwell — who's been dominant at Triple-A since coming over from the Mets — and Carson Whisenhunt in the mix for rotation spots. Brad and Garrett debate whether any of these three sticks as a long-term piece of San Francisco's rotation.
