The SF Giants have made another move for the 2026 season! In this episode of Thompson 2 Clark, hosts Garrett Gonzales and Brad Evans break down the blockbuster one-year, $12 million signing of three-time batting champion Luis Arraez. Is this the high-contact bat Buster Posey promised, or are we overlooking a major defensive hole at second base?
In this episode, we discuss:
The Arraez Impact: We dive into the "pros and cons" of adding the league’s most prolific contact hitter. While his 3.1% strikeout rate is elite, his lack of exit velocity and defensive range raises questions. Can he truly stabilize a Giants lineup that struggled with runners in scoring position?
Logan Webb & Team USA: Our ace is officially set to pitch in the 2026 World Baseball Classic (WBC). We react to Webb's "country over club" stance and discuss whether Giants fans should be worried about his workload after leading the MLB in innings pitched for three straight seasons.
Roster Construction: With Arraez taking over the keystone, what does this mean for young players like Casey Schmitt?
The Giants are betting on "old school" baseball—contact, putting the ball in play, and elite starting pitching. But is it enough to break the postseason drought? Join Garrett and Brad for the best San Francisco Giants analysis on the BSPN network.
