It’s fitting that the (anticipated, eagerly awaited) Marco Luciano 2024 player review would be written now, days after it was announced the San Francisco Giants had just signed Willy Adames to a franchise-record 7-year/lotta-dough deal.
In this post-Brandon Crawford existence, the Giants finally have a shortstop, and it’s not Marco Luciano.
This, of course, is no surprise. The rug was not pulled from Luciano when the Adames news broke—that rug has long been yanked. The former top prospect spent all of 2024 sprawled out on the floor, icing his posterior, nursing his pride, scratching his head a little perplexed, a bit blindsided about his fall from grace.
