how sustainable long term are the giants' gains/high performance this year? getting career years from guys aged ~32-36 just doesn't scream long-term success, though their farm is on the rise... dodgers hegemony more at risk via giants or padres?

I agree that the success of the Giants' geezers doesn't seem sustainable in the long term, and it may lead to a mistake here or there if they overinvest in those guys (two years at a time, like they did for Crawford, seems fine). Their system is suddenly very good (6th on THE BOARD, 5th via Baseball America's midseason rankings) and they seem to have money to spend. Can they find or produce foundational players to build around like Tatis and Machado? I don't know what the answer is here but I think it's going to be fascinating to see how it plays out.

With that, I'm done for the week here. Thanks so much for stopping by! Probably won't have a Friday chat headed into the long weekend, but hope to have one the week after that, once I'm back from Cooperstown. Until then, stay safe!
