## Resource

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back, live(ish) from San Francisco. They dive straight into the biggest Giants question of the winter: should the team trade Bryce Eldridge? With a win-now core, the guys debate whether the Giants can afford to wait — or whether Eldridge’s peak value is too good to pass up. They also sort through Tony Vitello’s growing coaching staff, from Justin Meccage’s Pirates baggage to the wonderfully absurd arrival of hitting coach Hunter Mense. Plus: Rule 5 roulette, a few old free-agent heartbreaks, and a couple listener reviews to wrap things up. On today’s postcard: — The Eldridge decision and the Giants’ timeline (3:38) — Tony V’s staff (and that name… Hunter Mense) (10:19) — No Rule 5 protections — what does it say? (44:49) — Free-agent misses that still haunt (49:28) Subscribe to Connor’s newsletter at giantspostcards.com , catch Kerry on KNBR and at the SF Standard , and leave a rating and review — the guys just might read them on air.
