Again, Jeff Passen broke this about what 30 minutes ago or so. Righthander Adrien Hower and the San Francisco Giants are in agreement on a two-year $22 million contract with the club option for a third year. WHOOPEE. YEAH. Sources tell ESPN between the signing of Jason Foley and the addition of Hower, THE GIANTS ARE SHORING UP THEIR PITCHING STUFF. SHORING UP. SHORING UP. Shoring up. WHAT ARE WE SHORING IT UP WITH? Diseased wood. TERMITE INFESTED WOOD. WHAT IS GOING ON, MAN? Come on. Short up the pitching. He's being kind. I'm not Look, I'm not getting after Jeff. He's He's just reporting. Come on. Seriously, man. Shoring up. I I don't know what to say, guys. Seriously, I don't even know what to say. Yeah. Insane. You got to move. All right. This is not what I wanted, my friend. This is not what I wanted. I I'm hoping I'm hoping that this is just there's there's more to come. I I hope. Right. I don't think so, though. I don't think so. I I I think uh I think this is it for the for starting pitching as far as a looks like uh Alex has tweeted. Oh, this is it. This is it. This is it. Oh. Oh my god. Oh my god. Ah, he's Okay, Alex is retweeting what uh San Francisco Giants on NBC blah blah blah. The Giants continue to bolster their pitching staff with a flex. They flexed. They flexed. They flexed WITH ADRIEN HOWER. MY GOD. OH MY GOSH, MAN. SERIOUSLY. COME ON. Come on. [laughter] COME ON. NO WAY. THEY DID NOT FLEX. Come on. No way, right? Have I been severed? [laughter] Seriously, have I been severed? Am I Am I living in an alternate reality? Have I been severed? Right. This isn't This isn't This isn't right. Right. JK, what is up? donates 50 bucks. Jake, gosh dang it. I wish you were able to spend this hard-earned money on something a little bit better than me breaking news on flexing for Adrien Howser. Don't blame me, but I appreciate you, Jay. Thank you. Happy holidays, Eric. Back from my 10week hiatus. Giants are a lackluster bunch, eh? Good to see you. Good to see you, too, Jay. Appreciate you, man. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Hey, you you brighten my day today with that 50 because right now the Giants are not doing it. They are not doing it, man. My god, they're flexing. How many innings did he pitch? Insane. How many innings? Let's take a look. Oh my god. Why am I looking at Adrien Hower? Why am I doing that? Oh [sighs] my god. Who gives a I see you, Lou. Who gives a about Jason Foley? The guy isn't going to pitch until freaking middle of the season. This reminds me when we signed Dclani. That's funny. Heroes, you're not the only one. I've seen a few people have saying that. Yeah, you're right. THAT'S WHAT IT [clears throat] REMINDS ME OF. IS FARHON BACK IN THE BUILDING? ARE WE BACK TO FARHAN BASEBALL? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? Come on, man. 32 years old, hails from the great state, or I should say the Sooner State of Oklahoma. What did he do last year? He tossed a combined 125 innings. 125 innings for uh Adrien Hower. Record is 8 and5 erra plus 126. It's okay. Is he a ground ball pitcher? Let's see. He's a ground ball pitcher. So that that's that's good. That's good. We got that going for us. K percentage into dumps. Not not a He's not a strikeout pitcher, guys. So, expect a lot of ground balls, which is which is good. Zeus, I like this signing. Okay, Zeus, that that's cool. Where do you do you like him as your number three? Do you like him as your Zeus? Let me I'm just want to ask. Do you like him as your number three in the rotation? Adrien Hower, I'm going to see what what's the most he's ever thrown. Has he ever exceeded? He did in Milwaukee. He did throw 142. That's the highest he's ever thrown. 125 last year. I like him as a five, says Sean. I agree. I agree. As a five, perfectly fine, but my god, they're acting like this is something that's Oh my god. Let's not forget Jason Foley. At least we did something. I I hear, dude. I hear you. But this is not what I expected. A five. We need a three. Kanto. Hecko. Sixth man locked. Yes. A capable four or five. They ain't gonna sign a MI. Come on. They're not going to sign a MI. They're not going to sign a MI. It's not going to happen, guys. Let's see if uh let's see if CS has uh updated the the contracts for the Giants yet. Do they got do they got Adrien Hower in here yet? I don't think they do. No, not yet. Maybe we'll be able to look at that tonight to see where uh where the Giants are going to be. Uh and the CBT, but not mistaken there. I think they're going to be around 195ish, maybe a little bit more. So, we're getting very close to the 200 million mark for the San Francisco Giants, uh as far as their budget against the CBT. Lou Marston, what's up? Lou has another comment. Says, "Other teams are nervous with our pitching staff." Not I don't know, man. I don't know what I don't even [clears throat] be prepared for the rest of our arms to get the job done. that I mean let's it took this long to figure out to sign Adrien Hower Chewbacca. Yes, that is fitting. That is very fitting. Hey, who wanted the poo poo platter? >> Hey, who wanted the poo poo platter? I just I can't [clears throat] I I Anybody else? I know. Hey, Benji, I see you out there. I know you're talking good about Adrien Hower. May maybe, but I'm not. I'm not. I can't get excited about I can't I cannot get excited buying this. Aries, what's up? Barry's haven't seen you in a chat before. Welcome to the fraternity we call Giant Sports Talk Live. Appreciate you hanging out. The ownership group for this team is pathetic. Raking the cash while fans suffer watching mediocre baseball since 2015. You know, you're not you're not wrong, man. You're not wrong. Look, they went out there last year. Hey, what's up, Jeremy Lopez? I have not seen you. I have not seen you in the chat before. I maybe I have again because YouTube's doing this weird thing with the with what they display as your name. He says this is a good signing. It's not a good signing if this is it though. Do you see what I'm saying? You hear what I'm talking about? If you if if this was if this was a guy that you signed after you had signed someone like Framber or you traded for a a Peralta. Okay, I get that. That makes sense. That makes sense. But as Aries rightly uh goes out there and says, it's it's Yeah, it sucks. Yes. Last year they went out there and they did something and that and I give them credit, right? I've already said Buster Posey went out there and tried to put a really good team together last year. Signed to Domus, extended Chapman, traded for Devs, right? We've all talked about that. But the Giants needed more and we all all Giants fans understood that you needed more. They're not going to get forever. The Giants are up against the freaking the the CBT. They're they're nearly at uh $200 million going towards the CBT. I don't see him doing anymore. I don't Dallas says this the Bellinger Bellinger ain't coming here, right? Bellinger ain't coming here. Trade for Donovan. Yeah, that would be nice. Don't get me wrong. That would be nice. And Sherzer and we have a team. That's just No, there's no way in hell that they're going to get Bellinger. No way in hell. How much do you think he's going to command? 25 $30 million a year. [clears throat] Probably wants at least what at the minimum six years. Giants ain't doing that. No way. No way. The Giants are doing that. If you're going to spend 22 million over two years on Adrien Howser, there's no way they're going to break it open for Bellinger. They're just not. [clears throat] Now, if you said Harrison Bader and then possibly a trade for Donovan and then sign Sherzer, okay, I I I could get on board. THERE'S NO WAY the Giants are signing Bellinger. No way. No way. Just in case say neither Hower nor Foley are not Triple A. I agree. But the problem is is Foley's coming off of injury, MAN. FOLEY'S COMING OFF OF S SHOULDER SURGERY. HE'S NOT GOING TO BE READY UNTIL THE middle of the damn season. [clears throat] How is that going to help you? How does that tell if you're if you're out there trying to get potential free agents? How does that scream I want to go win the game late? It doesn't. It doesn't. Man says Foley was Detroit's closer until he got hurt. How would we be better than you expect? Now you need to get Fairbanks. Ain't going to get Fairbanks. No way. No way. Right. $2 million not guaranteed to pitch until July. WHAT IS WHY? WHY? WHY GO THERE? WHY GO WHY EVEN GO THERE? WHY EVEN Are you telling ME THERE'S NOT BETTER pitchers out there that you could go sign? Do you have to go out there and always get a guy that's coming off A FREAKING INJURY? CAN WE NOT JUST GET A GUY, PLEASE? Can we please? And I understand you can't have a an entire roster of of of studs. I get that. But isn't there other players out there that you could sign that not coming off of a bum shoulder? We got one guy who's recovering from his left shoulder and now Foley is is still recovering from his right shoulder. I don't know if he's good. He's been he's been out forever recovery. I have no idea. He's coming off of injury. Oh, dear God. I look, I know I'm being hyperbolic, but my god, this is just I don't know, man. This is not This is not what I expected. Just didn't did not expect this type of move. Is this win now mode? Hell no it ain't. Hell no it ain't. This is just Let me check Twitter. Is there anything new? May maybe we're just being fooled here, right? Not a damn thing. Not seeing nothing. Hey. HEY. WHAT'S UP, WILL? HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN FOREVER, MAN. How you been, man? Good lord. I sent you a text about two months ago and you never responded. What's up, dude? I hope you're doing well, man. It's been shitty here in the central valley of California. The tuli fog has got us socked in for like about a month. It's miserable. It's shitty. I got shitty news to report. Oh man. All right, I'mma put a poll. God, how did I How did How is this even breaking news? This How did I even do that freaking breaking news? Forgive me as I'm typing. The did I just do? [snorts] Okay, polls out there. I want to know what you I want to see what you guys I want to see what you guys think. [clears throat] You bet the recovery. Dude, you have absolutely no idea. I saw that break and I'm like, I gotta I have to go live for this kind of And again, guys, forgive me if I use uh off-color language because it's it's one of these it's one of these type of days, man. The recovery. Thank you for hanging out. Appreciate that. JB, two bucks. Don't panic. [laughter] Appreciate that. Baby, our friend from the land down under. Thanks, Benji. Appreciate that. Uh, insane. You don't know me too well. I don't think I don't think you've watched long enough. Trust me, I've had my moments. I've had my moments. There's people in the chat that can vouch for me that uh when the uh the situation arises, I could let it fly like the best of them. My goodness. Let's see what people are saying. [laughter] All right. There you go. What is going on, man? Seriously. Stephen, I think you're on to something. I think the Giants are betting on good coaching gets the most out of this team with a few modest upgrades. I think that may be it. Honestly, I think that that's that's I think the way that they're going. And I agree with you, but Jay makes a great case here. are Jay makes a Jay makes a great point here. The Giants are a storied franchise. Yes, with a lot of money. Yes, they've somehow squandered that for a mediocre or would I argue worse rotation. It shouldn't be okay. I agree with that. I agree with that. This is not This is not a franchise. That's let's let's use let's use the word they're not a poverty franchise. They got plenty of freaking money. Are they willing to take those risks? Right now, no. Yeah, they could. Of course they could, but they're not. And again, I don't I don't know why Aries, he chimes in again. It's concerning when the most exciting acquisition is Daniel Susk, the big brother or I'm sorry, the brother of I should say the younger brother of Andrew Susk, that's a fact. Dan, when I was on NorCal, we tried to do positivity hour. We couldn't do it. Then again, Farhan a lot to do with Farhan had a lot to do with that. But we're STARTING TO GET BACK TO THAT. WE'RE STARTING TO GET BACK TO THIS WHOLE the way that the Giants are are acting. It's dude, this is for those of you and I don't know how I'm sure most of you have experienced the Farhan experience. It wasn't pleasant. It wasn't. MV7 says Valdez of Peralta will be in SF in the next month. Count on it. Think so. Think so. You think so, man? I I'm not I'm not even taking that leap. I'm just not I'm not taking that leap anymore. There was times and you guys have seen it. I was like, "Look, let's see. I think the Giants are going to do something. I'm done. I'm done. Seriously, I'm done. I'm not going to even try to do that. If it happens, fantastic. But I I'm trying to to even I mean, dear God, uh there is no chance. I'm telling you recovery. I'm saying there's no chance. WOLF MASK JACK, WHAT'S UP, DUDE? I haven't seen you in forever, man. I know you are a Dodger fan, but that's fine. Rich people don't like dipping into their bank accounts. They don't realize it comes back tenfold when you win a championship. And it's an it's an investment, a word that they know really. Well, look, I've gone over this so many damn times. Right times winning will bring you money, right? That's what's going to happen, right, Jack? That's what happens. You spend the money, you win, you make more money. It's that simple. [laughter] What is up? What's up, Boommy? You're all just jealous of Giant's ability to be mediocre better than anyone. [laughter] Ah. Oh my gosh. I don't know, man. Oh, hold on. Let me see where we at with the with the votes. Where are we at? Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna do another I'm gonna do another poll. We got 66. Wow. 3% say let's effing go. Wow. 3% actually said that. Uh 18% say it's good. 39% say nice depth. 39% say come on, man. Everyone knows what that means. All right, let's do another poll. Let's see how confident we are. Let's see how confident our fan base is here, guys. This is an easy one. Yes or no? Let's see how much confidence we have out there, guys. Is there a bigger pitching move yet to come? I want to know how confident that my my Giants fans, and look, there's other people in here who aren't Giants fans. I want to know how confident people are that the Giants will make another uh another we'll just say make a bigger pitching move than what they have done so far. Let's see. I want to see what a confidence is here, guys. is sher. No sherure is not Jake. No sher is not a bigger move. What I mean by bigger move, let's talk Peralta, Ranger Suarez, Framber Suarez, uh if somehow maybe they trade for Sandy Canar, I don't know, something like that, right? >> [clears throat] [laughter] >> Joshua, I'm confident they will find a worse signing. [laughter] Uh, Primo, I'm 100% yes, but only 50 53% confident. Okay, interesting. Gore. Okay. I guess you could I guess you could add Gore. Anything gore and up. Mackenzie. Gore and up. I would consider a big move. All right. Got 41 43 votes in right now. 50% 56% say no. 43 say yes. Whoa. Whoa. It's going back and forth between 57 and 43. 57 and 43. No is still winning. Would [clears throat] Zack Gallon count? No, Zack Gallon is not a big move. Oh, th this is the worst of it all. Senior, this is this is this is worst case scenario, right? So, if this isn't a win now mode and that's what the franchise decided to do last year, then what is this? You know what this is? right down the middle. They're they're they're they're they're playing it right down the middle. It's It's the worst possible It's the worst possible direction that you could go. Period. End of story. They're indecisive. And And when you're indecisive, you're going to get smashed. I'm hearing Jeremy Lopez. What's up, Jeremy? What's up, dude? WELCOME TO THE FRATERNITY WE CALL GIANT SPORTS TALK LIVE. I'm hearing Peralta is more expensive than Alcantara and Scubble Tradewise. That's ridiculous. That is well that that just goes to tell you right where the market is. But it's ridiculous. That's just absolutely insane. And the problem is the Giants have painted themselves in a corner telling the entire league the only thing we're going to do is trade, right? And how how are they doing that when you have your freaking owner come out and say that we're not going to spend on pitching. So all the So what what does that tell you, right? Gosh, I I'm beating a dead horse. I know that. But when you have your owner come out and say, "We're not going to spin on starting pitching." The only other re the only other direction you could go is trading. So, the market for uh for uh getting a trade of a starting pitcher just went through the roof. Indecisive, man. That's where that's where the Giants are. They're indecisive. My god, Sean. Woo. He thinks there ain't going to be any baseball in 2027. Giants should go over to CBT since uh there will be no 2027. Yeah, they don't want to uh because of the looming the looming uh labor strife that will happen in 2027. Come on, Greg. You know that ain't happening. You know that ain't happening. No way. Are you telling me you're going to spend 25 to 30 on Amay and then 30 million a year on on Cody Bellinger and you're going to tell me the Giants are going to do that? They would be above the CBT. There's no they're not doing that. They're they are not going to go above the CBT. And right now the Giants are right around $200 million on the CBT. There is no way no way that they're getting Bellinger. No way. It ain't happening. It ain't happening, man. Am I? It's not happening. It ain't happening. Let me refresh this. Did they Did they update this yet? No. What a freaking mess. So, when we go live tonight, maybe uh CS will have the updated the updated uh financials on where the Giants are, but I'm almost positive they're right at 200 million cuz they're sitting at 85 right now and it's what 11 11 million a year for uh uh for what's his name? Can't even remember his name. Adrien Hower and then two million for Foley. So, yeah, I think they're right at 200. They're right at 200 million. Oh, dear God. [clears throat] I ain't going much longer, guys. And I'm I'm done. Postman. Postman. You keep moving your goalpost, man. You You in the beginning of the offseason, you said they're going to make all these big moves. Now you said they're not. Hey, I understand. This is what we got. Uh, the Giants will only make small trades to fit their budget. That's a fact. Dallas says they have 40 million to work with. They're not going to go up to the I'm telling you, I bet you they do not go up to the to the to the 40 million. Last year, the what was it? The CBT was 243 and the Giants only went to 217. They they didn't even get close to the uh to the CBT last year. They don't want to spend. They don't want to spend. Period. End of story. That's it. This is this is this is what we're going to have. And you know what? It would be nice if the Giants just come out and just say, you know, maybe they don't want to because they're they're they're afraid of the backlash. Maybe they're going to go in a different direction. That's That's a huge possibility. Huge possibility. They spent a lot of money last year. Let's not forget, right? And I'll give And look, I give the Giants credit. Last year they spent a lot of money. $600 million they spent last year. 600 million. But that's it. That's it. Correct, Arman. That's 40 million for the rest of the offseason and the entire season. So, if you go out there and make a trade, now granted, when you make a trade at the trade deadline, a lot of those monies have come down, but yeah, you don't have to pay as much. Devers was the big move for 2026. You might be on to something, Steve. Problem is, the Giants have more holes and you got to be willing to spend. And if you don't want to spend, well, it is what it is. Yeah. 600 million, right? Hey, Taylor Rogers, take it take in consideration the extension the extension to Chapman, Willie Adamis' contract and then trading for Devers taking on the entire contract. That's $600 million that they spent. Uh, this says, "I think most owners won't spend this off seasonason so they can build the case for the new CBA." Hey, look, we're not as prosp. Uh, the Blue Jays are spending money. The Baltimore Orioles are spending some money. The Atlanta Braves has spent a little bit of money, right? The Dodgers are going to spend money. Don't count out the freaking Padres's. I wouldn't be surprised if they make some crazy ass move. Now, they've already spent money. They said they're going to spend around the same amount. If I'm not mistaken, from the reports I saw, they're going to spend around the same amount they did last year. Uh the Mariners, they went out and spent money. They remember they did this early. They went out and extended um uh Josh Naylor. They spent some money. I don't know. Anyways, guys, I'm gonna get the hell out of here. I went long enough. We will be back tonight at 8 o'clock. We'll do uh day number five for the 12 days of Christmas. And I'm sure Glenn and Lou, they will uh they will have their opinion on today's signing. Who knows? Wait, hold on. Let me go back to my poll. Is there a bigger pitchy move yet to come? 51% say yes, 49% say no. That's interesting. I did not see that. Okay. Well, so there is there's some confidence out there. There is some confidence. There is some confidence. [laughter] All right, guys. Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday. Uh and then we'll be back here tonight. We'll do it all over again. We'll talk more about it. Hell, maybe there's some more moves. You never know. Anyways, I'm done. All right, see you guys.
