Alex Wood is no longer a San Francisco Giant. He elected free agency in November of last year, ending a three-season tenure that started out hot and ended out not. 2021’s shadow has been long for this organization and many in it. Certain players are still trying to make sense of what happened that year, and Wood has good reason to be flummoxed.
Sticking to the organizational philosophy between the ‘21 and ‘22 seasons, Wood very much just “ran it back”.
