Slusser on Giants recruiting & A's tanking + Lourdes Gurriel back to AZ, more Yamamoto meetings

That talk about the Giants not being able to recruit free agents is not what you think it is. SF Chronicle's Susan Slusser tells us it has more to do with a particular player's departure than anything. Susan also gives us more context on the Jung Hoo Lee signing and has a big name pitcher in mind for their next move. We get to some John Fisher bashing from the Bay Area resident who defends Oakland's battle with the villainous owner. We start the show with the follow-up Yamamoto meetings in NY: which team needs him the most? Also covered: Diamondbacks sneaky offseason continues with Lourdes Gurriel signing, details on Tyler Glasnow extension that sparks an Aaron Nola debate & we highlight another crafty Braves trade.
