McCarthy is a backup/handcuff to Dart with limited near-term starting opportunity.

McCarthy is functioning as a handcuff/backup to Jackson Dart rather than a true starter; the Giants have him on his rookie contract with a club option in 2028. If he continues to play well, the Giants may keep him as a high-end backup for multiple years, though there's a possibility he could eventually get another starting opportunity elsewhere. The speaker notes that as a backup, he's currently priced very low in dynasty markets, making him a speculative hold rather than a sell candidate.
