## Resource

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley react to a surprising trade deadline for the San Francisco Giants as the team ships out Camilo Doval, Tyler Rogers, and Mike Yastrzemski. After years of standing pat around .500 and the trade deadline, Buster Posey's front office finally took a stance. They unpack what the moves say about Posey’s long-term vision, why this deadline felt different, and how the Giants are all-in on their core—not this season. Plus: —Where do the Giants go from here? — Why the Doval trade didn’t stack up to the Rogers deal — What Yaz’s departure means for the outfield’s future — Posey’s shift from “memory-making” to pragmatism — Our favorite memories from each #ForeverGiant Subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com and leave a rating and review on the podcast, please!
