With Matt Chapman on board, Lubman and Shasky breakdown how he will fit in with the Giants, as well as detail how desperately they need more pitching.

The Giants are unquestionably better this year than last year. So why are Giants fans not more pumped up for this upcoming season? Plus, getting into who will pitch what innings for the Giants when the regular season starts.

Lubman and Shasky take a look at the springs of Marco Luciano, Jung Hoo Lee and Joey Bart and draw non-concrete conclusions about what their springs mean so far.

Welcome to Episode 82 of the Garlic Fries and Baseball Guys Podcast. We are two weeks away from pitchers and catchers reporting and there is still much that the Giants need to do. Sam Lubman and Joe Shasky get into what other moves need to be made, if any, as well as the expectations on Marco Luciano, and the moves to bring in Robbie Ray and Jordan Hicks among others.

From 'The TK Show' (subscribe here): Giants manager Bob Melvin joins Tim Kawakami and discusses how Jung Hoo Lee will fit into the lineup, what it was like to follow the Shohei Ohtani negotiations, the perception of San Francisco and more.

Welcome to Episode 81 of the Garlic Fries and Baseball Guys Podcast. It is just Sam Lubman this time, sort of. He had a chance to attend the press conference for newest member of the San Francisco Giants Jung Hoo Lee, and afterwords, he had a chance to chat with Lee's agent (or lawyer if you go by Lee's description) and Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi.

Welcome to Episode 80 of the Garlic Fries and Baseball Guys podcast. This week, Sam Lubman and Joe Shasky dive in to the Winter Meetings (not wonderland) and all eyes are on Shohei Ohtani. Later, one must consider the possibility that Farhan Zaidi can change the narrative surrounding him in these next few weeks with a major move or two. And finally, Lubman and Shasky reveal their Dream 2024 San Francisco Giants.

The Winter Meetings are here and for the Giants, all roads lead to Shohei Ohtani. And maybe some other guys, but mainly Ohtani.

A lot of Giants fans are convinced that Farhan Zaidi cannot sign a big name free agent. It is on him to get fans to change their minds.

The Rules are:

1: Go wild, but also try and be realistic

2: Ross Stripling HAS to be on the team.

3: Mitch Haniger HAS to be on the team.

Ready? GO!
