Latest news and updates about the Giants
2025 stats: 76 G, 191 PA, .264/.309/.368, 94 OPS+ (91 wRC+), 1.9 bWAR… 0.00 ERA I’ve always thought it’d be fun to compile an encyclopedia of all the San Francisco Giants utility infielders in the 21st century. A completely frivolous tome of all the what was his name again players that scratch together 150 to […]

Good morning, baseball fans! Yesterday, Steven wrote about the news that the San Francisco Giants are reportedly not interested in spending the money it would take to pursue Japanese RHP Tatsuya Imai, or really any big name I cannot improve upon Steven’s commentary, because it is absolutely spot-on.

“Never!” should be your answer. No good San Francisco Giants fan would ever dream of trading the team’s ace. That’s Buster Posey’s job, and if he’s going to be any good as a President of Baseball Operations going forward, he ought to start popping ashwagandha pills before bed. Yesterday, Andrew Baggarly wrote an article for […]

The San Francisco Giants have made their first Major League signing of the offseason, and they waited until a federal holiday to do it. I’m sure that wasn’t their intention — nothing has been made official or announced by the team — but it’s when the news broke. On Thanksgiving morning, FanSided’s Robert Murray reported […]

The Texas Rangers are trading Marcus Semien to the New York Mets for Brandon Nimmo, per Jeff Passan. So much for a boring offseason for Your Texas Rangers.
