First-year Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey understands his team’s recent shortcomings in pursuing some of baseball’s biggest and most iconic names. The Giants, as many know, always seem to find themselves in the race for MLB’s superstar free agents and international prospects but never end up landing them in San Francisco . Watch NBC Bay Area News 📺 Streaming free 24/7 In appearing on The Athletic’s “Starkville” podcast with Jayson Stark and Doug Glanville, Posey explained the lessons the Giants have learned from missing out on free agents such as Shohei Ohtani , Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa in recent offseasons. “I think for me, the lesson is -- or maybe it’s not even a lesson -- if you have an opportunity to after that type of caliber player -- what’s the alternative, right? If you’re not going after them, then you’re definitely not getting them at that point,” Posey told Stark and Glanville. “I know there’s a sense with the fanbase, some frustrations on not being able to go land those guys. But from my seat [and] what I can tell the last couple years is really putting a strong foot forward. “I think ownership -- again, from my vantage point -- made it very clear the priority to try to target those types of players. And unfortunately, it just didn’t work out. So, we look at this, we’re trying to build a complete team. [We] go into this offseason looking at some areas where we feel like there might be holes. I’m a big believer in pitching and defense...” Posey didn’t point any fingers at his predecessor, Farhan Zaidi, but the retired catcher remained honest. San Francisco has tried to contend for MLB’s stars and it just hasn’t worked out thus far. Last offseason, the Giants signed third baseman Matt Chapman , pitcher Blake Snell , center-fielder Jung Hoo Lee and slugger Jorge Soler . But San Francisco’s acquisitions didn’t match that of their NL West rivals, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who signed Ohtani and pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto en route to their 2024 World Series victory. Superstar right fielder Juan Soto , followed by pitchers Corbin Burnes , Roki Sasaki and Snell, of course, headline the current free-agent class. Posey made it clear that his phone is on at all hours, and his eyes are monitoring the globe for upgrades. “You’re exploring all avenues and angles,” Posey said. “There’s unquestionably an immense amount of talent coming from the international side, so there’s no question we want our hat in the ring there, and we’re going to try our best to convince those great talents to come to San Francisco.” Despite the Giants’ 80-82 record in 2024, Posey also is confident in what the current roster offers. He cited San Francisco’s pitching, particularly the youngsters, as something the Giants laboriously will ride next season. “I’m really excited about some of the young arms we have,” Posey said. “Obviously, [Logan] Webb leading the way; Robbie Ray’s not a young arm at this point, but I think we’re expecting big things from him coming back this year, being a couple years removed from injury; Hayden Birdsong , Landen Roup , Kyle Harrison , we got Keaton Winn , Tristan Beck ; there’s some really quality arms. “I think for us to make a big leap, we’re going to have to rely on some of these younger arms to carry some of the bulk for us.” Perhaps Posey will focus internally on pitching upgrades. Still, all options are on the table for San Francisco and its first-year decision-maker. And recent shortcomings with big-time free agents won’t keep Posey and the Giants from shooting their shot and staying invested. San Francisco very well could look different come Opening Day of the 2025 MLB season. Download and follow the Giants Talk Podcast

Hannah is one of thousands of children across Scotland who have been regularly missing school. Some are absent for days, others for years. Twelve-year-old Hannah missed most of her primary school education. Right from her first day she barely spoke and would get very upset, so the school would phone her mum daily to ask her to pick her up. By the time she got to primary four she refused to go altogether. She would take off her uniform, cry and scream. Psychologists say the rise in the number of children absent from school is not about bunking off but because many are too anxious to step through the school gates. And since Covid the numbers just keep rising. The latest figures from the Scottish government, to be published on Tuesday, are expected to continue that trend. Hannah's mum Ashly says her daughter, who is autistic, struggled with the noise and busyness of the school environment. "Obviously she didn't feel safe in school," Hannah says. "She didn't feel comfortable. I tried everything to get her to school." Then almost two years ago they started working with a project from the charity Quarriers called Reach, which involves a trained member of staff going to their home in Glasgow to help increase their confidence. "For the first six weeks she wouldn't even speak to her," Ashly says. The support worker began by going to the primary school with Hannah for an hour a day and sitting with her in a quiet room doing crafts and games. Over last summer, before Hannah started at secondary, she and her worker spent days in the school baking cakes and having fun. After almost two years, Hannah's worker has gradually got her to a point where she is attending her S1 secondary school class most days. Ashly told the BBC: "Even getting Hannah to school without crying and being upset was a big thing and now she gets herself ready and gets herself organised for school so that is a big difference." The latest statistics from Glasgow City Council show that every year for the past five years, school absence has increased. The council is now working on a campaign to encourage parents in particular to remember the importance of attending. A report by Reform Scotland last year found that 200,000 children in Scotland are missing more than one day a fortnight. And almost 80,000 pupils miss at least one day a week - with attendance of less than 80%. Official figures released earlier this year suggested that 22.3% of pupils in England were persistently absent in the 2022-23 academic year - roughly double pre-pandemic levels. The lead educational psychologist for Glasgow, Barry Syme, told the BBC that absence is not generally about kids skipping school. "I think the days of children just bunking off is a very simple way of looking at it," he said. "We've seen a significant increase in the number of young people with mental health concerns, particularly anxiety and stress. "That was still an issue pre-pandemic but certainly the pandemic has not helped in any way with that." Mr Syme said there had been an increase in the number of young people identified with neurodiversity and the associated challenges of the school environment such as noise and large numbers of people. He also said that children were picking up on the pressures felt by their parents, such as cost of living issues. Colin Simpson, who runs the Quarriers service, said they had seen huge benefits from offering one-to-one support to families. In the first two years, the project worked with about 200 children but there are another 400 still waiting. "There's a huge waiting list for this service because there's an awful lot of young people across the city of Glasgow and beyond who have chronic non-attendance challenges and they all deserve that kind of support," he said. "But it takes time to give a child the support that they need. "And it takes a lot of effort and energy and a really, really well established relationship." Professor Edward Sosu of the University of Strathclyde said the fall in average attendance was a serious concern and that Scotland needed to tackle the problem. He said a rise in poverty, mental health problems and additional support needs were the major reasons for the increase in absences. And he said that regardless of social class or background, it was almost impossible to make up for the lost time in school. His research looked at people who were aged between 34 and 42, and the impact their school attendance rates had on their outcomes. "What we found is that missing an average of just 10 days aged 10 was linked to not having any qualifications age 42 or not being in employment. So missing that small amount of school in that time had a negative impact," he said. "This was irrespective of their socioeconomic background, irrespective of cognitive outcomes, irrespective of all the background characteristics. "Our assumption originally was that those from middle class backgrounds will be able to help their children catch up - but what we found is that irrespective of your background, absences have a negative impact on your educational achievement."This week marks the 10th Christmas Canadians have endured under Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government — 10 years of our Dec. 25-born prime minister acting as if he’s our very own personal Jesus, without the humility, common sense, or moral clarity his birthday might suggest. From the get-go, Trudeau’s been a means to an end for Liberal party power — a famous name, flowing hair, a convenient professionally-good-looking object many lonely Canadian wives cast their adoring gazes upon — but otherwise, intellectually and morally vacuous. Thankfully, there is a solution. Pierre Poilievre will bring the common sense and moral clarity Canada so desperately needs. On Christmas eve, Pierre Poilievre, leader of the Opposition, tweeted out a promise to Canadians and we should hold him to it: “I will defund wokism and fight antisemitism. And stand with our friends in Israel against terror.” It included a link to a statement from a telephone interview he gave last week to the Winnipeg Jewish Review . I will defund wokism and fight antisemitism. And stand with our friends in Israel against terror. https://t.co/hTEdzAPP14 In the statement , Poilievre did not mince words. He promised to “defund” “all of those with a woke anti-Semitic agenda.” His promise applies to “everything that the federal government controls,” and anyone “imposing a radical, terrifying, toxic ideology.” He promised to “fire government officials throughout (his) administration who are imposing a toxic woke ideology.” This would include universities, museums, and government-funded projects. “The (Canadian Museum of Human Rights) will be there to honour our history and to tell our stories, not to impose toxic woke ideologies against our people,” he assured the Winnipeg Jewish Review. Poilievre seems to inherently understand that a self-effacing people are not a people at all. Sadly, the same common sense cannot be attributed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who constantly apologizes for Canada and Canadians, whether it’s warranted to do so or not. As prime minister, Justin Trudeau will forever be known as Canada’s constant underminer. Poilievre, on the other hand, pointed out that he and his government would never fund antisemites, like Trudeau’s Liberals did when they awarded Laith Marouf’s advocacy group with more than $133,000, supposedly to combat racism. The total amount granted to Marouf was about $500,000. It was the same Laith Marouf who shamelessly took to social media to post : “You know all those loud mouthed bags of human feces, a.k.a. the Jewish White Supremacists; when we liberate Palestine and they have to go back to where they come from, they will return to being low voiced bitches of thier (sic) Christian/Secular White Supremacist Masters” and who boasted he’d form “Zionist-Hunter squads” among other colourful threats. Marouf was eventually fired from his government contract, but remained employed for a whole month after Diversity and Inclusion Minister Ahmed Hussen had been aware of Marouf’s extremism. You see, news of his extremism hadn’t hit the news yet. And no one appears to have been fired for hiring Marouf in the first place — a move Canadians can be confident Poilievre has the common sense and moral clarity to make. Other moral-clarity illustrating promises Poilievre made during his interview include: •Lifting the nonsensical ban on the sale of military equipment to Israel, •Reversing the Liberal government’s promise to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a war criminal, if he were to land on Canadian soil, based on the International Criminal Court’s ridiculous charge he was starving civilians as a method of warfare, while aid trucks were pouring into Gaza and being captured by Hamas, •And defunding UNRWA, which the Liberals disingenuously pretended to pause, and whose schools are known to indoctrinate Palestinian children to murder Jews and whose members are becoming harder and harder to distinguish from Hamas itself. Poilievre also promised to make Canada safer, by performing the much-needed security screening our current government apparently doesn’t deem necessary or finds boring. “We will also screen incoming immigrants” in an effort to ensure they “have no terrorist links,” he said on the call. He followed up with a promise to address what we’ve been seeing in our streets since October 7: “there will be a crackdown on all terrorist networks that Trudeau has allowed on our streets.” To accomplish this, he told Winnipeg Jewish Review that laws will be passed and serious consequences will be doled out. Tackling radicalism in the streets will no doubt prove tricky to pull off. But this strong message, one we could never expect from our current mealy-mouthed leader, will no doubt be appreciated by those tired and frightened by chants for “intifada” in our streets. It will take a common sense leader with moral clarity to, without apologies, return Canada to its rightful status of nation and to begin its redefinition. Because, if we as a nation fail to define ourselves, someone else, will happily do it for us. National Post tnewman@postmedia.com X: @TLNewmanMTL
