Hello and happy weekend, San Francisco Giants fans. And happy holidays to all who are celebrating them. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful time.
Someone who is probably enjoying their holiday celebrations is Brandon Crawford, because Crawford got some good news through all this madness with the Giants: he’s still the team’s shortstop. Barring something truly bonkers — such as Carlos Correa failing his physical with the New York Mets and agreeing to a new deal with the Giants — Crawford will be the Opening Day shortstop for the 12th consecutive season when the Giants begin the season on March 30 against Aaron Judge, Carlos Rodón, and the New York Yankees.
