I know those guys.

Thank you. Alex Bablovich and Cole Kuiper. I know those guys. Hey, what's up, Giants fans? Welcome to another episode of Giants Talk. I'm Cole Kuiper,

here with Giants Insider, Alex Pavlovich. We are talking offseason as the World Series is behind us, and there is nothing but empty space until spring training.

Pitchers and catchers are still a ways away.

The offseason is upon us, and we'll talk about what the Giants need to focus on.

Plus, get to some manager and coaching updates.

Not updates as much as speculation, but it's time to discuss that as well.

Before we get started, Giant Stock is presented by Mancini Sleep World. Mancini Sleep World's Black

Okay, Alex, offseason's here. How you doing? How's it feeling? I'm ready to be on call. So we're in the sweet spot right now, the five days between the end of the world series and in the start of the off season. We know nothing really happens until end of November usually. But yes, who knows, Buster's done stuff at weird times. Yeah. Yeah. This isn't a traditional team anymore, man. Anything could happen at any time. We're on emergency pod watch for what's, what's the over under on emergency pods this off season? I'm going to put it at one and a half. I'll take the over on that.

Okay. Mostly because I get a vote on when we do them. So if there's a borderline one, I can push that in the direction I need it to be. Four million dollar reliever. Yeah. Oh, emergency pod. Let's go. Fired up. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. All right. So, I mean, I guess the first step in any spring training is to assess the team's needs. And the first part of that is figuring out who is not returning from last year's roster.

A several Giants hit free agency. I don't think any of these were a surprise to us.

In fact, we've discussed all of them here on Giants talk already. But just to break it down, that would be Wilmer Flores, Dominic Smith, and Justin Verlander.

And of course, Tom Murphy will go down as an all-time giant signing.
