The San Francisco Giants enjoyed a solid run of success on the pitching side of their team ever since Gabe Kapler was hired prior to the 2020 season. Kevin Gausman, Logan Webb, Camilo Doval, Carlos Rodón are a few examples of success, and they're far from the only ones. With that in mind, how big of a loss is the departure of pitching coach Andrew Bailey to the Boston Red Sox? Not to mention the loss of director of pitching Brian Bannister to the White Sox.

Locked On Giants and Locked On Red Sox discuss numerous topics, including the change to the MLB schedule that now sees all NL and AL teams play each other at least once a year. For Giants fans, this means that every other year the team will play in every American League stadium. It was a great change in a lot of ways, and means SF Giants fans get way more opportunities watch their favorite team play at historic stadiums like Fenway Park. There were also some drawbacks, but the positives outweighed them.

All of this is discussed under the shadow of Shohei Ohtani's free agency, which as of yet has not reached a conclusion. For more about the Giants' and Red Sox's offseason, be sure to check out yesterday's edition of Locked On Giants in which Ben and Gabby discuss all things Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and what the SF Giants and Sox must accomplish this winter.
