At this point in the offseason, with spring training well underway and the regular season on the horizon, things have to be getting pretty uncomfortable for Blake Snell. He must remain on the San Francisco Giants' radar, and they legitimately could strike at any time. What kind of contract will Snell ultimately land? What number should make SF Giants fans feel like it's a wise investment? Will Snell's next deal be short- or long-term?

Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast:

How would you grade the Giants' offseason with the moves currently made? And if they signed Snell, what would their grade be?

Could we make the roster work while keeping J.D. Davis? Bench could look like J.D., Murphy, Wilmer, Slater. Could Chapman, Thairo, and Wilmer fill in at shortstop when necessary behind Ahmed (assuming he wins the starting job)?

NL West projections as currently constructed?

I’d like to see an exploration of a trade for Dylan Cease. I think the Giants would have to give up too much, but some folks like Marty Lurie think it would be a great move.

What SS do you think the Giants could get if they offered in a trade: Marco Luciano, Mason Black, J.D. Davis, and Joey Bart?

Do Mike Clevinger or Michael Lorenzen make more sense for a fit if they’re able to move off of Davis’s contract in a trade of some sort?

 Is Madison Bumgarner coming back? Odds?
