Episode Details

Tony Vitello's first season managing the Giants hasn't gone according to plan, but we're learning much more about how he views the job and where he wants to take the organization. Andrew Baggarly sat down with Vitello for an extensive Q&A, and we break down the biggest takeaways about his transition from college baseball, what he's learned during a difficult first season and his vision for the Giants moving forward. Plus, Yahoo Sports examines everything that went wrong for San Francisco in 2026 and where the organization goes from here. Finally, the Giants continue searching for pitching depth by adding Duncan Davitt, and we look at what the right-hander could bring to the organization.
