A saga between Logan Webb and the Giants seems to be emerging

Although training camps have yet to get underway, and the World Baseball Classic is just as much in the air, gunner Logan Webb is making headlines these days.

The San Francisco Giants' excellent right-hander seems to be on the outs with his organization – the only one of his career, in fact. As my esteemed colleague Pascal Harvey mentioned only yesterday, the Giants' number 1 pitcher was disgusted to see the Dodgers evolve. He took the opportunity to flay his team's executives in the process, mentioning, roughly speaking, that to see him and his teammates achieve better results in the standings, the ball was in their court, not the players'. In other words, management's inaction during the off-season has aroused his ire.

Already an important comment, Webb added another layer. He said he was really looking forward to representing his country at the World Baseball Classic, even though the Giants' upper management was very reluctant to the idea. He made it clear that, in the end, it was his decision, so be it.

Logan Webb on the Giants not wanting him to pitch at the WBC: “Obviously, they have their thoughts about it. I think that's known, but at the end of the day, it's my decision.” https://t.co/b6kE8LrCkk

PassionMLB readers aren't fooled. They clearly understand that Logan Webb doesn't get along well with his organization. The question is why. Does he want to sabotage himself to ensure that he is no longer a member of the San Francisco Giants? If that's the case, there's no doubt that the other 29 teams on the Manfred circuit would be calling Buster Posey and his gang to try and secure his services. After all, his name has been in the Cy Young Trophy discussion every year for a few years now. In 2023, he finished runner-up to Blake Snell, formerly of the San Diego Padres.

In his case, it's fair to ask whether he'll finish his five-season contract in the Bay Area. He's in year three of a five-season deal worth a total of $90 million. The thing about the 29-year-old and his contract is that he initialed the deal with the former Giants guard. It wasn't Posey who was president of baseball operations, it was Farhan Zaidi. It wasn't Zack Minasian who was general manager, but Pete Putila.

Surely, the main person behind this text gave the runners a chance to show off and demonstrate what they intended to do to improve the club. However, time has not been able to do its work, and Webb is probably thinking that the grass is greener next door than in his own backyard. As mentioned at the outset, number 62 has never known anything other than the team that drafted him in the fourth round at the 2014 auction. Perhaps a change of scenery would do him good? Life is good, because he'll have the Classique to showcase his talents.
