Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
Even with the opening of Spring Training camp, the San Francisco Giants continue to add to their roster. A couple of days after signing Rowan Wick to bolster the 2027 bullpen, they add 28-year old outfielder Will Brennan to boost the 2026 outfield situation. The left hander has a career triple slash of .267/.307/.373 in […]
2025 stats: 95 G, 348 PA, .237/ .305/ .401, .163 ISO, 24 K%, 8 BB%, 101 OPS+, 0.6 bWAR Luis Arraez’s 2026 defensive reclamation project has kicked Casey Schmitt to the curb, and once again the infielder has found himself without a hook to hang his hat. Schmitt has been the question mark of […]

Just as we all thought that the San Francisco Giants were done signing Major League contracts, they went and signed another. Except there’s a catch: it’s not for a player who will contribute this year. In a crafty move that will no doubt upset the vast swath of fans who are still upset about the […]
It’s almost hard to believe, but we have a top 40 in the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List. We only need four more ballots sent out and counted, and then we will have succeeded in once again ranking the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. The last chapter of the […]

One of the key moments in the film “Moneyball” comes when Brad Pitt’s Billy Beane and Brent Jennings’ Ron Washington visit Chris Pratt’s Scott Hatteberg to inform him they’re offering him a contract to play first base for the Oakland Athletics, even though he’s only played catcher in his big-league career so far. Beane insists […]

The Giants’ San Francisco Chronicle beat writer Shayna Rubin has the full breadth of the story summed up in this social media post: Well, that’s a sweet capper to the story and […]
Spring Training is here! San Francisco Giants players are in action! Excitement — and more importantly, baseball — is in the air!

2025 stats: 68 G, 61.1 IP, 17 saves (24 chances), 4.11 ERA (3.63 xFIP), 8.8 K/9, 2.6 BB/9, +0.6 fWAR Relievers are fungible. In some cases, they’re not and in other cases, we really hope they’re not, but since failure is the core of baseball, it’s unavoidable that most relief pitchers simply get chewed up […]

When the San Francisco Giants first made the mildly-surprising news to sign bat-to-ball maven Luis Arráez, there were questions about where he would play. Like most infielders, Arráez had played all over the dirt in the Minor Leagues, though he was viewed as a second baseman by the time he made the Majors. After a […]

It’s officially Spring Training eve. Fans, reporters, coaches, and most importantly, players have arrived in Scottsdale, Arizona. And after one more sleep, they’ll get to work. Last week, the San Francisco Giants announced their list of 19 non-roster invitees to Spring Training. As a refresher, NRIs are players who are in the system but not […]
2025 stats: 29 GS, 152 IP, 3.85 ERA / 4.24 xERA, 8.1 K/9, 3.1 BB/9, 1.36 WHIP, +2.2 fWAR The first ballot Hall of Famer joined the Giants as a sort of prove-it year to show the sport that he still could be “that guy,” and he pulled it off, becoming just the 48th pitcher […]

It took three trips over the waiver wire through claims by three different teams for former top San Francisco Giants prospect Marco Luciano to finally find a home. He was designated multiple times for so many assignments, but the baseball gods finally took mercy on Luciano and let him pass through waivers and land with […]
