An unconventional dugout hire could redefine the Giants. The Padres can make that timeline hurt.

That’s not just a curveball; that’s a knuckleball in a hurricane. It screams upside energy, player development chops, recruiting charisma, but it also screams turbulence. Translating SEC dominance to 162 games, unionized veterans, bullpen matchups in October, and a front office’s daily chessboard is a different sport.
