There R Giants Pod-152 with Melissa Lockard

My guest this week is The Athletic’s Senior Editor and Writer Melissa Lockard who does such a great job covering the Giants’ and A’s farm systems. Melissa is also a life-long A’s fan, and we talk a bit about what it’s been like to cover the A’s in 2023 before turning to discuss the Giants’ farm. As always, it’s a thrill to get to spend time talking ball with her and hearing her insights into the system.
