Should fans of the San Francisco Giants be worried about Logan Webb? He's been hit hard recently, and his stuff appears to have diminished from how it looked for much of last season and particularly in the NLDS when he dominated the Dodgers. Webb's velocity is down overall. It could be a sign of fatigue, but his diminished stuff is undoubtedly cause for some concern for the SF Giants. All the more reason bringing back Carlos Rodón or signing another frontline starter will be important for the Giants this offseason.

How much of a runway does Gabe Kapler have? Is there any chance he could be fired this offseason? It's extremely unlikely. Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi is very fond of Kapler and seems to value continuity. What's more, the issues for the 2022 SF Giants really don't seem to stem from Kapler. It's been more of a roster construction problem. For that, Zaidi must take ownership. How much of a runway does he have? This will be an important offseason and next year will be an important year. He has at least next season to sort this out, considering they won a franchise-record 107 games in 2021.

How far should the Giants go to sign Aaron Judge? Judge has been the game's best player this season, and he's set to reach free agency when the season concludes. The problem is Judge is a very big guy and he'll be 31 years old in year one of the deal. Age is a concern, but he sure checks a lot of important boxes for the Giants.
