For the final There R Giants podcast of 2023, David B. Flemming drops by to chat about the Giants’ off-season hopes and plans, including their intense pursuit of Jung-Hoo Lee and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. We revisit the team’s turn to aggressive prospect promotions in 2023 and how successful that philosophical change turned out. And we talk about Patrick Bailey’s year and what will be necessary to take his game to the next level. (We recorded this pod at the end of last week, skant hours before the Giants officially announced the Lee signing.)Thanks so much to everyone who has joined me this year on podcasts and posts. Your support is the best Christmas gift I could get (although having Dave stop by on the pod is pretty great, too!). Don’t forget, for the rest of the week, I’m offering 20% off of annual subscriptions as a Christmas Special, so now’s a great time to become a full subscriber.Intro/Outro: “Fairytale of New York” by The Pogues Get full access to There R Giants at rogermunter.substack.com/subscribe
