Adam Copeland is joined by the Athletic Bay Area writer Melissa Lockard to talk Giants & A's farm systems and what's the latest news on the A's front office. The A's and Giants have given their list of guys they have protected for the upcoming Rule 5 draft. It has been hard to rank and get info on minor league players since there wasn't much tape from last season because of Covid cancelations. Melissa ranks the Giants farm system in the Top 10 for the first time in a long time. They have drafted well lately with some bats and some good young arms. And they talk about what's going on with Billy Beane and David Forst with the A's and is there any chance of Theo Epstein joining the A's if Beane leaves.
