The San Francisco Giants reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year, $44 million deal with right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks on Friday. Hicks has only started eight games in his major league career, but the Giants will apparently see what the former Cardinals and Blue Jays pitcher can offer them out of the rotation. Hicks has clear upside, but the move is obviously a gamble. In this episode of The Kerry Crowley Show, Kerry explains how to think about Hicks' value to the 2024 Giants and what you can expect from him this season.
In this edition of the Kerry Crowley Show, Kerry analyzes the parallels between the Giants' rumored pursuit of free-agent third baseman Matt Chapman and their December, 2017 trade for Evan Longoria.

Davis, Casey Schmitt and external options could bring the franchise depending on the path the front office selects.
After signing Jung Hoo Lee, the San Francisco Giants still face pressure to add to their roster this offseason and build a team capable of contending in the National League West.

In this edition of The Kerry Crowley Show, Kerry offers contract projections for all of the aforementioned players and discusses why Cody Bellinger and Rhys Hoskins do and don't fit as free agent pickups for a team in dire need of a talent infusion.
