Can the San Francisco Giants possibly fit Joey Bart, Blake Sabol, and Patrick Bailey on the same roster? That question has become more and more relevant by the day, as Bart has showed signs of improvement, Sabol has done enough to stick for now (despite some extreme highs and lows), and 2020 first-rounder Bailey was promoted to Triple-A.

None of that even speaks to Gary Sánchez's impending ability to opt out of his minor league deal if he's not in the majors by Monday. In essence, it doesn't seem possible to have Bart, Sabol, and Bailey on the same roster—as long as the outfield is healthy. If Mitch Haniger, Michael Conforto, Mike Yastrzemski, and Austin Slater are available, they're going to get pretty much all of the outfield starts, with perhaps LaMonte Wade Jr. mixed in to open up first base for someone like Wilmer Flores.

The rest of the show is dedicated to addition mailbag questions, including: Who is your current favorite Giant and who are your favorite players from around the league? Who is your personal favorite Giant of all time? What does a successful season look like for Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater? How long does Farhan Zaidi get to develop an All-Star that comes through his farm system? When would you wave the white flag? 2024? 2025? 2030?
