Yesterday, I started to take stock of some of the highest-ranking San Francisco Giants prospects. I planned to look at how the stock had changed for the top 44 prospects, as determined by our preseason Community Prospect List. I only made it halfway through, then decided it was best to break this into two articles. […]

The 2025 baseball season ended quite a while ago for the San Francisco Giants. Not just for their Major League team, but for their seven Minor League Baseball affiliates as well.

While there has not been much noise about the Washington Nationals managerial hunt, there are hirings being finalized around the league. One of those hirings has me very intrigued and has made me think differently about candidates the Nats could look at. The Giants are closing in on a deal to hire Tony Vitello away […]

Earlier today, the Giants made waves when it was reported that the club is “closing in on hiring” University of Tennessee coach Tony Vitello as their next manager. While no deal is in place at this point, the news still came as a surprise. That’s not only because Vitello has no experience in professional baseball but…

If Andrew Baggarly isn’t as close to an unimpeachable source when it comes to Giants rumors and breaking or near-breaking news, then no beat writer is. He mentioned Tennessee Volunteers coach Tony Vitello as a possible replacement for Bob Melvin when this whole search began, and just moments ago on The Athletic, he, Brittany Ghiroli, […]

The hot corner was a solid position for the D-backs this season. All told, it came in at 2.0 bWAR above average, with the Giants and Matt Chapman the only NL team to be more productive there. This was mostly due to Eugenio Suarez continuing his second-half surge from last season. On July 21st, he […]

Good morning, baseball fans! My plan was to write up a game thread, of sorts, for the playoff games taking place today and tomorrow.

After writing about James Tibbs III over the weekend, it feels like an appropriate time to examine how the other prospect the Red Sox acquired from the Giants in the Rafael Devers trade — Jose Bello — fared in the wake of the blockbuster deal being made in June. Unlike Tibbs, Bello was not subsequently … Continue reading "How did Red Sox pitching prospect Jose Bello (part of return for Rafael Devers) fare after trade?"

Yeah I was only doing bats. Gore is the only arm that I think deserves talking about in terms of a long-term signing. I like Lord and Ferrer but relief pitching is notoriously fickle, neither of these guys is lights out (or likely to be that) so they just feel very replaceable and not something you gamble money on keeping past age 30. As arms go Parker and Irvin are nothing to hold on to. I mean I guess if they want to be REAL reasonable and sign for cheap so they don't have to move...&n...

He's also in the second year of a 10-year, $313.5 million contract. Initial news of the trade st...

I am playing catch-up with some recently released Topps Now cards. First, there are two Dodger cards available right now, following their sweep of the Giants yesterday.

First, Mookie Betts recorded his 1,000th career hit during the first game of yesterdays doubleheader. Check out the Topps Now card created by Topps above and bel...
