In this episode, we take a deep dive into Brandon Hyde, one of the most intriguing and experienced names linked to the San Francisco Giants’ managerial search. Hyde — a Santa Rosa native and former 2023 AL Manager of the Year — has already spoken with Buster Posey during the process, according to reports from The San Francisco Standard. We break down his resume, from rebuilding the Orioles into contenders to his years of player development experience with the Cubs and Marlins. Then we ask the big questions: would Hyde’s steady leadership, structure, and developmental mindset fit what Posey says he wants — a “pitching and defense” identity? Or would his recent firing in Baltimore and rebuilding reputation make him a risky choice for a Giants team expected to win now? Plus, we dig into the latest updates around Grant McCray’s future, whether his elite defense can keep him in San Francisco, and a full prospect profile on Diego Velasquez, one of the most polished young hitters in the system.
