ROSTER UNTOUCHABLES: The Giants' Short List as Trade Rumors Heat Up

Episode 1996 Published 18 hours ago
Description

The San Francisco Giants lost again, but for once the most interesting story wasn't the final score. Bryce Eldridge continues to look like a player opposing teams already respect, consistently being pitched to like a middle-of-the-order threat despite having only recently arrived in the big leagues. Meanwhile, Jung Hoo Lee is putting together one of the best stretches of his career, extending his hitting streak to 17 games while climbing near the top of the National League batting race.

We break down Lee's historic run, why he looks increasingly likely to earn an All-Star selection, and what his long-term future with the Giants could look like. If Lee continues producing at this level, his contract opt-out after 2027 could become one of the most important decisions facing the organization.

Plus, we tackle a fascinating question: who should actually be considered untouchable if the Giants decide to get aggressive in reshaping the roster? Bryce Eldridge, Landen Roupp, Jung Hoo Lee and a handful of others headline the discussion as the Giants continue searching for answers amid another disappointing stretch.

Despite the loss, there are still a few reasons for optimism. The question is whether the Giants can build around them quickly enough.
