## Resource

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after the All-Star break. The guys open with some reflection on why the Home Run Derby has become the main event, and why the game itself feels more like a Broadway production than a competition. Then they dive head-first into the draft. With five top 100 prospects in Baseball America's rankings, Connor and Kerry dig into what the organization needs to get right after years of drafts that didn't deliver. They also map out what a successful second half actually looks like—less circus, more baseball—and which surprise storylines are worth watching as the season enters its final stretch. On today's postcard: — Breaking down the Giants' draft class (9:27) — What will make for second-half success? (34:27) — Who should the Giants seek in trades? 46:34) — An early look at the 2027 schedule (49:28)
