Giants-Rangers Series Preview: Trades! Trades! Trades!
Oh, right! There’s a new series afoot! But that doesn’t mean we have to put a pin in trade deadline talk. The state of the American League is such that the Rangers’ 55-57 record has them just 2.5 games back of the AL West-leading Houston Astros (58-55) and 1.5 games out of the final Wild […]
Giants trade Luis Arráez, Caleb Kilian to Phillies for RHP Ramon Marquez
Today is the MLB trade deadline, and the San Francisco Giants wasted no time being active. Early in the morning, news broke that the Giants had traded All-Star second baseman to the Philadelphia Phillies for right-handed pitching prospect Ramon Marquez. The Giants are also sending right-handed reliever Caleb Kilian to Philadelphia, while getting back right-handed […]
Monday BP: What’s on deck this week?
Good morning, baseball fans! A new week of San Francisco Giants baseball starts today, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck for the week. First up, the Giants continue their road trip with a three-game series against the Texas Rangers starting tonight. After that, they head back to Oracle Park to welcome the […]
Giants trade Tyler Mahle to Atlanta for RHP Anthony Molina
The San Francisco Giants are expected to be one of the biggest sellers in baseball this season. And on Sunday night, less than 24 hours before the trade deadline, the Giants finally got started. According to a report by Robert Murray, the Giants are trading right-handed starter Tyler Mahle to the Atlanta Braves in exchange […]
8/2 Gamethread: Giants @ Padres
It’s series finale time, and the San Francisco Giants are in need of a win to split their four-game date with the San Diego Padres. Righty Landen Roupp takes the mound for the Giants, making his 22nd start. Roupp has had an up-and-down season, and is 7-9 with a 4.12 ERA, a 3.38 FIP, and […]
Sunday BP: Highlight of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end today, so it’s time to pick our favorite highlights of the week. I’m going with Luis Arraez and Heliot Ramos’ four-hit game in Wednesday’s 16-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. In fact, let’s just go ahead and give this one […]
Giants call up Nate Furman, place Jesús Rodríguez on the IL
For the last week or so, one of the questions surrounding the San Francisco Giants is what they would do at second base for the rest of the year. All-Star Luis Arráez will almost certainly be traded ahead of Monday’s deadline, and his logical replacement, Casey Schmitt, is out for the rest of the season […]
8/1 Gamethread: Giants @ Padres
It’s the first game of August! Rejoice, San Francisco Giants fans …. the season won’t go on much longer. The Giants are in sunny SoCal for this contest, as they play the third of four games against the San Diego Padres. Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, in what could very possibly […]
7-0 burial
Yeah, ummm…, the Giants didn’t win this one. If you watched the whole game, I’m sorry, but the writing was on the wall pretty much from the National Anthem. The Padres are the hot team. They’ve got something to play for in terms of the postseason. The Giants are a loosely affiliated gaggle of guys. […]
Saturday BP: Player of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end this weekend, so it’s time to decide who will be your Player of the Week! There were a few strong candidates this week, but most of them were players I’ve picked fairly often this season so I’m going to go […]
7/31 Gamethread: Giants @ Padres
The San Francisco Giants continue this four-game road series against the San Diego Padres tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Carson Whisenhunt, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.60 ERA, 5.46 FIP, with 13 strikeouts to eight walks in 15.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 4-3 loss […]
Harrison Bader suspended without pay
This slowly developing story from Tuesday came to a head this afternoon as Buster Posey has put out a statement confirming that the San Francisco Giants have suspended the injured Harrison Bader without pay. Over the weekend, Harrison Bader was involved in an accident that has delayed Harrison’s prior treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis and, […]
Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, July 30: Josuar González is That Dude
All six of the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball teams that are still in season (the ACL is done with for the year) were in action on Thursday, and there were some tremendous performances to talk about. So let’s talk about them! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed […]
Ray’s last light
According to The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly, the Giants front office tried to negotiate a trade for Robbie Ray before his scheduled start on Thursday against the Padres. But no Kyle Harrison type deal materialized at the 11th hour, and the veteran southpaw suited up and took the mound with San Francisco stitched across his chest […]
Friday BP: WPBL is here!
Good morning, baseball fans! At long last, the Women’s Professional Baseball League kicks off their inaugural season tomorrow! The first game will be between the Los Angeles Queens and New York Heights. The San Francisco Firebells are scheduled to begin their season on Sunday against the Boston Hunters. Left-hander Niki Eckert is scheduled to start […]
7/30 Gamethread: Giants @ Padres
The San Francisco Giants head south to begin a four-game series against the San Diego Padres tonight. The Giants are going for the element of surprise again, as they have not announced a starting pitcher for tonight’s game as of the time this is being written. You can check out the comments below for more […]
Giants Minor League Baseball roundup, July 29: Trevor Cohen is off and running
Five games for the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates on Wednesday. The rookie ball teams didn’t play (the DSL squads had the day off while the ACL season is over), but AA Richmond played a doubleheader due to having their game on Tuesday postponed. Let’s dive into it! Link to the 2026 McCovey […]
Series Preview: The Giants could make the Padres question everything
The Milwaukee Brewers might’ve only incurred some psychic damage in losing 2 out of 3 to one of the worst teams to ever wear “San Francisco” (they’re still 6 games up in the NL Central), but the Giants did expose how soft their rotation is after Jacob Misiorowski, which might compel them to go all […]
Thursday BP: What’s next?
Good morning, baseball fans! Just when we thought that the San Francisco Giants’ 2026 season couldn’t get any worse, a slew of injuries have been taking players out left and right over the last week. Casey Schmitt and Trevor McDonald are done for the year. And Harrison Bader decided to scoot through it, and made […]
Susac socks two in 16-3 bash
Daniel Susac was on the injured list when Patrick Bailey’s trade to the Guardians became official on May 9th. The transaction effectively made the rookie the Giants primary catcher, a promotion earned on the merits of his offensive production as the back-up backstop, which shone especially bright compared to the dull bat work of Bailey. […]

7/29 Gamethread: Giants vs. Brewers
The San Francisco Giants conclude this three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon from Oracle Park. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters today’s game with a 3.98 ERA, 3.50 FIP, with 89 strikeouts to 29 walks in 113 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ […]
Wednesday BP: Trade deadline predictions
Good morning, baseball fans! We are less than one week away from the 2026 MLB trade deadline. Which means it’s time to fire off our best/worst trade deadline predictions for the San Francisco Giants. Personally, I think they should be aggressive sellers. Trade everyone you can and throw in parts of the ballpark if that […]
Giants pitchers struggle as Brewers win 8-2
One of the magical things about writing about baseball for a living is that, against all odds, every game seems to have its own story. 162 times a year the San Francisco Giants play someone, plus a few dozen more times in the spring and, on a few blue moon occasions, a handful of times […]
