## Resource

Can a strong finish to a disastrous season actually carry over into 2027? The Giants are getting an extended look at their young players down the stretch, and we discuss whether playing winning baseball in September can create any meaningful momentum heading into next season. Plus, San Francisco continues making smaller transactions involving slightly older players, raising the question of whether they're simply searching for organizational depth or identifying potential late bloomers who could stick around. Finally, we profile Lorenzo Meola, one of the more intriguing defenders in the Giants' farm system, and examine what his glove and versatility could mean for his future. MLB Pipeline currently lists Meola among the organization's best defensive prospects.
