Hour 3: As the trade deadline approaches, the San Francisco Giants are looking to shake up their roster and make some moves. In this episode, we're joined by Jim Bowden, a former MLB GM and current writer for The Athletic, to break down the latest news and rumors surrounding the Giants' potential trades. From the blockbuster deal that brought Rafael Devers to the Giants last year to the current state of the team's farm system, Jim shares his expert analysis and insights on what the Giants can expect in the coming days.

The Giants are in a seller's market, with 22 of the 30 teams within three and a half games of the playoffs. This means that the team has a unique opportunity to trade away players who are not contributing to their current season. Jim discusses the potential trades of players like Robbie Ray, Lewis Arrives, and Elliot Ramos, and what the Giants can expect to get in return. He also shares his thoughts on the team's current management, led by Buster Posey, and whether they have the experience and expertise to lead the team to success.

One of the key players the Giants are looking to trade is Logan Webb, their ace pitcher. Jim weighs in on the pros and cons of trading Webb, and whether it's the right decision for the team. He also discusses the importance of building a strong farm system and developing young players, rather than relying on free agents and big-name signings.

In this episode, we also hear from Jeff Kent, the newly inducted Hall of Famer, about his experiences playing for the Giants and what it means to be part of the team's legacy. He shares stories about his time with the team, including his relationships with players like Barry Bonds and Dusty Baker, and how they helped shape him into the player he became.
