Latest news and updates about the Giants
Yesterday, I wrote about how I thought the San Francisco Giants were done signing starting pitchers. After adding Tyler Mahle and Adrian Houser on one and two-year deals, respectively, the Giants now have five established starters, as that duo joins incumbents Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, and Landen Roupp. Not everyone agrees with that assessment. Some […]
1914 Sydney Cricket Ground was the scene of today’s World Tour game, as the White Sox beat the Giants, 5-4. Some 10,000 fans attended. It would be 100 years before the majors returned to Australia, when the Dodgers and Diamondbacks opened the 2014 season at the Ground. 1936 Future White Sox co-owner Eddie Einhorn was […]
This post could’ve been titled “Reassessing the Giants’ payroll situation for 2026” as a sequel to this post from earlier in the offseason, but it’s less interesting than the truth, which is that, based on what’s publicly known about the team’s expenses, the San Francisco Giants have committed to the largest Baseball Operations budget in […]
It would appear that the San Francisco Giants have set their rotation. After agreeing to a one-year New Year’s Eve special with righty Tyler Mahle, the Giants now have five established starting pitchers under contract for 2026. You can quibble with the order if you want, but, assuming health (a big assumption, admittedly), these are […]
Morning, all! Tyler Mahle, who originally joined the Rangers while recovering from Tommy John surgery prior to the 2024 season, has signed with the Giants. Over at Yahoo Sports they have three New Year’s resolutions for the Texas Rangers. And that’s all I’m finding this morning.
I can’t remember the last time I saw so much news about a trade that hasn’t happened yet. The ongoing saga of the St. Louis Cardinals possibly trading Brendan Donovan has now taken another turn or two and there’s no immediate end in sight as the talks with the San Francisco Giants have apparently stalled […]
Bruce Bochy’s job with the team pays off immediately. Shayna Rubin has posted news that the San Francisco Giants “are close” to signing starter Tyler Mahle to a 1-year deal. [Update: Mark Feinsand confirms it’s a done deal.] When healthy, the righty was Bochy’s second-best starter in 2025 when they were both Rangers. Unfortunately, Mahle […]
Rarely is a player who last appeared in the majors nearly a decade ago projected to make an impact on a baseball season. D.J. Snelten is a hard-throwing left-handed reliever who has not played in the big leagues since 2018 with the San Francisco Giants. The San Diego Padres signed him to a minor league […]
2025 stats: 16 G (3 GS) 36 IP, 4.75 ERA, 5.93 xERA, 1.39 WHIP, 6.5 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 2.3 HR/9, -0.6 fWAR The San Francisco Giants began the year with three of the five most famous Carsons in western history. Number one, of course, is Johnny Carson. Then there’s Mr. Carson from Downton Abbey. After […]
Good morning! Bobby Dalbec, the Red Sox once and future first baseman, is out of Major League Baseball. After playing in just seven games with the White Sox last year, Dalbec signed a one-year deal with the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants, one of the most successful and famous clubs in the sport. Nippon Professional Baseball is […]
We’re in the holiday dead zone. Christmas has come and passed. Hanukkah long since ended. New Year’s isn’t here yet, and Kwanzaa is bridging the finished holidays and the yet-to-arrive one. It’s usually all quiet on the baseball front, but not everyone has gotten the message. Over the weekend, among other moves that were made, […]
Braves Franchise History 1932 – Shanty Hogan, who started his career with the Boston Braves, is purchased by the Braves after five years as the regular catcher for the New York Giants. Boston pays $25,000 for Hogan, who will finish his career with a .295 batting average. 1938 – The Boston Bees acquire Al Simmons […]
All the news and rumors for the Houston Astros and from around all of MLB – it’s in here! Today’s offseason Crawfish Boil for December 27, 2025: Other important notes from this include: The Marlins are now considered unlikely to deal Sandy Alcantara; The Mets, Giants and Orioles are among the teams that reportedly met […]
Yahoo! Sports | Jared Bloom: The beginning of Camilo Doval’s time with the Yankees did not go as anticipated. After being acquired at the trade deadline, the former San Francisco Giants closer struggled to transition to a mid-inning role. Despite this rough introduction to the pinstripes, however, manager Aaron Boone and the Yankees are “optimistic” […]
Good morning, baseball fans! And Merry Christmas to those who celebrate! Yesterday, I asked you all about the best San Francisco Giants related gifts that you have received.

Good morning, baseball fans! And Merry Christmas Eve to those who celebrate! Today, I thought we could all share the best San Francisco Giants presents that we’ve received over the years. For some reason, I don’t tend to get given Giants related gifts despite, you know…writing about the team. But I do have a couple […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As we are getting closer to the holidays, I thought we could take some time to revisit some of the San Francisco Giants’ best games. Or at least a few of my personal favorites. Yesterday, we re-visited Game 5 of the 2010 World Series, and we did the same for Game […]
2025 stats: 57 G, 184 PA, .221/ .268/ . 424, .203 ISO, 6% BB%, 14.7% K%, 91 wRC+, -0.2 fWAR It’s time, Luis. As a humble representative of the San Francisco Giants community, I’m officially giving the supportive but firm metaphorical tap on the rear. We’re ready for ya, kid. Take off, champ Do the […]
As a 23-year-old in 2023, Emmet Sheehan made a statement while pitching for the Dodgers with an impressive MLB debut, no-hitting the San Francisco Giants for six innings in June. He finished that season with a 4.92 ERA, but started 2024 on the injured list with right forearm inflammation before eventually undergoing Tommy John surgery. […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As we are getting closer to the holidays, I thought we could take some time to revisit some of the San Francisco Giants’ best games. Or at least a few of my personal favorites. Over the weekend, we watched both of Tim Lincecum’s no-hitters from 2013 and 2014. But if you’re […]
For those needing a dramatis personae, or those who mistook Chris Stratton for Andrew Heaney (oops), Stratton is a journeyman pitcher who was drafted by and debuted with the San Francisco Giants before bouncing around the league. Stratton broke into the league as a six-pitch starter, but shifted to the bullpen once joining the Pittsburgh Pirates organization in […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As we are getting closer to the holidays, I thought we could take some time to revisit some of the San Francisco Giants’ best games. Or at least a few of my personal favorites. If you saw yesterday’s BP, you probably have a pretty good idea what we’re going to be […]
Good morning, baseball fans! As we are getting closer to the holidays, I thought we could take some time to revisit some of the San Francisco Giants’ best games.

Following Wednesday’s chapter of the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, we officially have a list of the top 20 San Francisco Giants prospects. And it looks quite different than last year’s! In fact, only seven of the players in last […]
Let’s start with a story about Horace Stoneham. Stoneham owned the New York Giants starting in the mid-30s through the mid-70s. After the 1957 season, Stoneham and Brooklyn Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley moved both of their teams out of New York and into California, settling in San Francisco and Los Angeles, respectively. Before the move, […]
