## Resource

The Giants are betting big on rookie closer Caleb Kilian, handing him the ninth-inning role after a strong comeback season. With injuries and inconsistency plaguing the bullpen, Kilian—once traded for Kris Bryant and sidelined by injury—has emerged as a surprise ace, logging four saves in nearly 30 innings. While veteran Ryan Walker returns from Triple-A to vie for high-leverage spots, Kilian is now the man in the moment. The team’s low-budget, rebuild-focused bullpen hopes this 29-year-old can deliver the stability they’ve lacked all summer. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
