## Resource

Connor Grossman and Kerry Crowley are back after a brutal stretch that effectively ended the Giants' season. The guys conduct a mini-autopsy of the 2026 Giants, examining how a veteran-heavy roster built to contend became one of baseball's biggest disappointments. They debate the incorrect assumptions made by Buster Posey's front office and try to figure out what comes next for this team. Can the Giants sell another year of the same roster to fans without embracing a larger reset? On today's postcard: What happened to the Giants? (4:08) Worst assumption made by the front office? (18:59) What's next for this team? (28:31) Can the Giants stomach a rebuild? (32:37) Will Tony V return next year? (36:48) Catch Kerry on KNBR and at the San Francisco Standard , subscribe to Connor's newsletter at giantspostcards.com , and leave a rating and review — we'll read it on the show.
