Welcome to a must-watch episode of Thompson 2 Clark, the ultimate San Francisco Giants podcast from the BSPN network, with hosts Brad Evans and Garrett Gonzales!
The biggest news in baseball is the Hall of Fame Contemporary Era Committee vote, and it is the definition of controversy. Jeff Kent—the all-time home run leader for a second baseman—has been elected to the Hall of Fame! However, the debate rages on as Giants legend Barry Bonds has been shut out once again. Brad and Garrett dive deep into this emotional and highly contested decision, discussing the legacy of both Giants icons and why the Hall of Fame continues to exclude the all-time home run king. We break down the complex reasons behind the vote and what this means for the franchise.
The discussion then moves to the heat of the MLB Winter Meetings and the San Francisco Giants' roster moves:
Marco Luciano Claimed: The crew reacts to the news that the former Giants top prospect, Marco Luciano, was claimed by the Pirates off waivers. Was this the right organizational decision? We analyze the long-term impact of losing Luciano.
Bryce Eldridge Trade Talk: With the Giants actively looking to upgrade the roster, the question is raised: is it time to consider trading top prospect Bryce Eldridge? Brad and Garrett debate which pitchers the Giants could target and if Eldridge's value is the key to a blockbuster trade.
