Summary
Is the San Francisco Giants season already over? That’s the conversation after a brutal new article from Tom Verducci laid out six reasons why the Giants may already be cooked — from historically bad offensive numbers to lack of power, patience, speed, lineup flexibility, and major concerns surrounding key contracts. We break down Verducci’s argument, what feels fair, what might be premature, and whether this organization is actually closer to a retool than anyone wants to admit. We also discuss the reported call-up of Victor Bericoto after MiLB Central reported the move before the usual Giants insiders confirmed it. If true, it’s another sign the Giants are searching for answers anywhere they can find them. Bericoto has been in the organization since signing out of Venezuela in 2018 and now could get a chance at the big-league level despite not being considered a top-tier prospect. Plus, a look ahead to the upcoming series against the Chicago White Sox, a surprisingly dangerous offense that can leave the yard in a hurry.
