In this episode of Thompson 2 Clark — the San Francisco Giants podcast on BSPN — Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales break down a brutal stretch for San Francisco: 1-5 in their first two series since the All-Star break, capped by today's gut punch against the Royals, where the Giants blew a 3-0 lead and found an entirely new way to lose a game they were leading.
From there, Brad and Garrett dive into who they believe gets traded before the August 3 deadline, with second baseman Luis Arraez looking like a near-certainty to be dealt and outfielder Heliot Ramos and utilityman Casey Schmitt drawing scout attention as sellers circle Oracle Park.
They also check in on Bryce Eldridge, who's hitting .273 with an .825 OPS since his May callup and pushing his way into the NL Rookie of the Year conversation behind Sal Stewart and JJ Wetherholt. Plus, the guys give their take on the Giants' 2026 MLB Draft class, headlined by UC Santa Barbara right-hander Jackson Flora at No. 4 overall.
