The Giants' front office is under the microscope, and it's not just the team's 20-30 record that's got fans talking. In this episode of the Giants Executive Show, Murph & Markus are joined by the man in charge, Giants President of Baseball Operations, Buster Posey. He's got a unique perspective on the team's struggles, and he's not afraid to share it.

Buster Posey joined us to discuss the team's disappointing start to the season, and what he's doing to turn things around. We talked about the team's lack of fight and grit, and whether it's a mental or physical issue. He also weighed in on the handling of young players like Bryce Eldridge and Patrick Bailey, and what the team's plan is for the rest of the season. Plus, we got his take on the bullpen and the team's decision to go with a closer by committee approach.

One of the biggest topics of discussion was the trade that sent Patrick Bailey to another team, and what it means for the Giants' future. Buster shared his thoughts on the decision, and how it fits into the team's overall plan. We also talked about the team's farm system and the potential for some exciting young players to make an impact this season.
