Send in Your Questions for the Next Free For All Mailbag
Next week’s mailbag will come from the road for me….let’s see if a West Coast perspective changes my mind on things at all! We’ll only have about four or five more of these weekly bags, as the system is winding down. Pretty soon, things will shift into off-season mode. So if you have thoughts on your mind — or if you want to tell me I’m wrong about things (which I very often am) — get them off your mind now while the bags are weekly!
The Giants will get a 'player to be named later' from the Guardians as a part of the Alex Cobb trade. I'm curious about how that process works. Did the teams agree at the time on 2-4 players that the Giants will pick from? Do the Guardians retain some control of which player it becomes? Any idea when it’s finalized? I doubt it would ever happen, but it’d be fun if fans knew the potential players in a situation like this — us prospect hounds would eat that up!
Hi Roger! I know that you have expressed some concern about “where all the innings will come from.” Well, here we are in August with a fairly stable rotation, but it does look like Harrison is running out of gas, and Birdsong no doubt still has a few MLB-level lessons to learn. So my question is, if there are stumbles in the next 50 days or so, where are the innings going to come from?
