2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List No. 32

Don’t look now, but pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training is really and truly right around the corner. In less than three weeks, San Francisco Giants will be descending upon Scottsdale, ready for a new season and all the hopes, dreams, and platitudes that come with it. We won’t be done with our Community […]

Friday BP: Hunter Pence falls off Hall of Fame ballot

Good morning, baseball fans! With the news earlier this week that (briefly) former San Francisco Giants outfielder Carlos Beltrán will be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame this year, there was unfortunately bad news for another former Giants outfielder. Hunter Pence, the very definition of a Forever Giant, did not receive enough votes to […]

Thursday BP: The Hall of Fame hypocrisy continues

Good morning, baseball fans! Yesterday, it was announced that the San Francisco Giants will have yet another former player inducted into the Hall of Fame this season. This time, it will be Carlos Beltrán getting the honors. Congratulations to Beltrán first and foremost. But my goodness, the hypocrisy is strong with this one. This is […]

Jung Hoo Lee detained and released by CBP

Jung Hoo Lee and the San Francisco Giants suffered a scare on Wednesday night, though thankfully all seems to be well. Lee, returning to the states ahead of Spring Training next month, was detained at Los Angeles International Airport by Customs and Border Protection agency. That, unfortunately, is not a particularly surprising item of news […]

Giants legend Carlos Beltrán elected to Hall of Fame

It’s a pretty exciting time for the San Francisco Giants and the Hall of Fame. Sure, Barry Bonds and Duane Kuiper have been passed over more times than I was anytime we picked teams for any sport at the playground. But in December, Jeff Kent was elected to the hall by the Contemporary Baseball Era […]

Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones elected to the Hall of Fame

The Baseball Hall of Fame announced two players were elected to the Hall by the Baseball Writers Association of America Tuesday evening. Carlos Beltrán played 20 MLB seasons with the Royals, Mets, Yankees, Cardinals, Rangers, Giants and Astros, with his most success coming with the Royals and Mets. He hit 435 home runs, had 312 […]

Player review: Dominic Smith

2025 stats: 63 G 225 PA .284/.333/.417, 5 HR, 26 RBI, 6.7 BB%, 18.7 K%, -6.3 Def, 111 wRC+, +0.4 fWAR Dominic Smith missed the final 15 games of the Giants’ season, and while that time didn’t wind up impacting what’ll happen to his career in 2026, it wound up being a huge pivot point […]

Tuesday BP: Giants to honor two Hall of Famers in 2026

Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants certainly have many things to celebrate this season. As they have learned from the past decade or so, two Brandons are better than one. In addition to honoring the career and contributions of former first baseman Brandon Belt in April, Brandon Crawford will be getting his own […]

It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! It may be snowing in New York City this weekend, but in the sports world, the hot stove has been boiling. From the New York Giants’ hiring of John Harbaugh as their next head coach to the Dodgers’ […]

Yankees news: Dodgers’ Kyle Tucker signing amps up Cody Bellinger pressure

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner ($): Another day, another Cody Bellinger article. Despite recent reports that there were considerable gaps between Belli and the Yankees in terms of contract length and average annual value, Kirschner says “not so fast, my friend,” to quote the great Lee Corso. There are reasons, admittedly, the Yankees could pivot […]

Giants officially sign top international prospect Luis Hernández

On Thursday, the 2026 international signing period opened up in baseball. And, as suspected, the San Francisco Giants were waiting in the wings to make a huge splash. The Giants sent a large contingency to their Felipe Alou Baseball Academy in the Dominican Republic, to mark a momentous occasion: the signing of Venezuelan shortstop Luis […]

Thursday BP: Former Giants OF announces retirement

Good morning, baseball fans! Earlier this week, former San Francisco Giants outfielder Jaylin Davis announced via a social media post that he will be retiring. Davis was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 24th round of the 2015 draft, and made his MLB debut with the Giants back in 2019 after being traded in […]

Chicago Cubs news and notes — Bregman, Hoerner, Swanson

I understand that the Cubs and the Giants are or have been ‘engaged’. I wish them long happy lives together. But I don’t think Nico Hoerner will be the ring-bearer. The idea has mileage because reputable people have talked about it, but the season was pretty silly before the meetings. I doubt Jeff Passan or […]

2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List No. 29

Spring Training 2026 is closer than it’s ever been … but it’s only getting closer. We won’t be done with our communal rank of the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization by then, but we’ll be a little bit closer. We almost have a top 30! The next name on our list […]

Giants ‘aggressively pursuing’ second basemen

The San Francisco Giants have excellent players in place at three infield positions. They’re looking to upgrade at the fourth. Second base was not a strength for the Giants during the 2025 season. Tyler Fitzgerald came back to Earth after a strong 2024 season, going from a .280/.334/.497 slash line to .217/.278/.327 and striking out […]
