Giants to host 2028 MLB All-Star Game
At long last, the All-Star Game is returning to the Bay Area. On Friday morning, it was announced that the San Francisco Giants and their gorgeous waterfront ballpark will host the 2028 MLB All-Star Game, and all the midsummer festivities. It’s the fourth time that the Giants have hosted the All-Star Game since moving to […]
Friday BP: Matt Chapman transferred to 60-Day IL
We knew that Matt Chapman’s season was almost certainly over. But now it’s really official. During Thursday’s off day, the San Francisco Giants quietly moved Chapman from the 10-Day IL to the 60-Day IL with an abdominal strain. It had already been revealed that Chapman would undergo surgery for his sports hernia. The Giants have […]
Draft good
I can’t help but try to get into the psychology of the poll respondents with these SB Nation Reacts surveys, and since these are supposed to be strictly Giants fans polled, I am fixating on the 1% who graded their 2026 amateur draft a “D.” Did they have money riding on a different #1 pick? […]

Giants claim Shay Whitcomb off waivers

San Francisco announced that they had claimed infielder Shay Whitcomb off of waivers after he had been designated for assignment by the Houston Astros. Whitcomb has […]
Thursday BP: When the team you love won’t even tolerate you
Good morning, baseball fans. It has been two months since members of the San Francisco Giants decided that the organization’s Pride Night celebration was an appropriate time to intentionally opt into wearing the (completely optional) Pride hats in order to proselytize their religious beliefs (aka intentionally use the opportunity to further antagonize LGBTQIA+ members of […]
Giants lose game, series in the sun
Ah, the sun! Giver of life, provider of solar energy, burner of skin, mascot of Arizona professional basketball, source of both photosynthesis and melanomas. The sun giveth, and Wednesday afternoon in San Francisco, the sun tooketh away a victory for the home team. Victor Bericoto delivered the San Francisco Giants’ first run with an RBI […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Giants fans and fans across the country.

The team has not yet released the full video of the event, but our friends over at NBC Sports Bay Area interviewed the inductees: Brandon Belt, Brandon […]
Carsons dominate late-night Giants win
The answer is: Power hitting, sloppy opposing defense, and iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms. The questions is, what are three things likely to produce runs Tuesday night? The San Francisco Giants got four runs Tuesday night, which was enough to defeat the Houston Astros, 4-1, after 7 2/3 innings from a pair of magnificent Carsons. […]

Giants sign Andrew Knizner, activate Victor Bericoto
The San Francisco Giants made a handful of roster moves on Tuesday, ahead of their evening home game against the Houston Astros. As expected, the team found a veteran catcher to back up Drew Cavanaugh, and it’s a familiar face: Andrew Knizner. Knizner had been playing for the Boston Red Sox AAA affiliate until last […]
Tuesday BP: Watch a Puerto Rican team dinner with the Giants
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants’ social media team released a video little while back that I didn’t get a chance to share until now.

Giants injuries: Daniel Susac has a patella fracture and Matt Chapman to have season-ending surgery
Mondays have a way of bringing bad news to workers all over the country, and baseball players are certainly not exempt.

Pitching duel won by Webb, game lost by offense
For the third consecutive series, the Giants have won the opener and lost the last two. While quality pitching, along with some shoddy defense, couldn’t sustain itself over the entire game on Saturday, blame for Sunday’s extra inning 3-1 loss rests solely on the shoulders of San Francisco’s hitters. After Willy Adames’s 5th inning solo […]

The infield of the 2014 World Series Champions haven’t thrown the ball around the horn in years, but the shadow they cast is a long one.
