Passion for the Pastime

Justin Verlander has another solid outing this Spring, but is that a sign of more things to come? Also, who can potentially be this years break out star for the #SFGiants?

Kyle Harrison was roughed up in his latest outing for the #SFGiants , what does it mean for the rotation moving forward? We talk with Erik Engle of LOCKED ON NETWORK on the latest storylines around the Orange & Black.

The Giants made a move today in sending their Leftie Taylor Rogers to the Reds. How does this effect the roster construction heading into Spring Training? Are their more moves to come?

The days are counting down until Pitchers and Catchers report to camp on February 12th. Unless there is a big splash in Free Agency, unlikely, or a trade during the Spring, it's possible, this looks to be the #Giants roster heading into 2025. Are they good enough to compete in 2025? Should Giants not use Dodgers as a measuring stick? We will discuss!

The 2025 Inductees were announced and the 3 of the class are Ichiro, CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner. The Hall still only has 1 unanimous Inductee as Ichiro, like Jeter was just 1 vote shy if that honor. Is the voting process flawed? And as we get further away from the greatness and into the analytical era of baseball, will the goal posts move? We will also be joined by KNBR's Jack Loder to discuss the Hall of Fame, plus Giants talk as we Inch closer to the start of Spring Training.

The rich get richers as the Dodgers land top international prospects, 23 year old phenom from Japan, Roki Sasaki. But they dint stop there, as they continue to add piece to their already Stacked roster, the latest being Tanner Scott forming the next super team, setting up a strong possibility of a back-to-ack champion for the first time in 25 years. Plus, talk Hall of Fame ballots & BLUE JAYS finally landing a bat in Anthony Santanader.

The #SFGiants may not have gotten Roki Sasaki, but they signed the next best player in Josuar De Jesus Gonzalez, who many scouts have stated that he is the best player in the 2025 class. Is this a signal of change for the Giants, and what is our confidence level in the new regime. We will also discuss with NBC Sports Bay Area host, Carlos Ramirez and break down Buster Posey's first offseason.

Welcome back to Passion for the Pastime as we turn to a new week, Hall of Famer Justin Verlander officially introduced as a member of the #SFGiants, whats number will he wear and can he get to 300 wins? PLUS, we now know the finalist in the Roki Sasaki Sweepstakes, what each team can bring the 23 year old superstar and more. We will discuss on this playoff Monday!
