What if the Giants’ offseason silence isn’t confusion — but calculation? In today’s episode, we dig into the idea that San Francisco may have read the market better than anyone else. With elite names like Framber Valdez, Ranger Suárez, Kyle Tucker, Cody Bellinger, and Bo Bichette still unsigned, the free-agent market hasn’t moved the way many expected.
