Latest news and updates about the Giants
The 2026 Major League Baseball season begins in about 48 hours and, for reasons still unbeknownst to me, the San Francisco Giants have drawn the opening assignment. A brand new season, full of brand new baseball, kicks off on Wednesday at Oracle Park, with the Giants hosting the New York Yankees, while the rest of […]
In the latest SB Nation Reacts poll, we learn that San Francisco Giants fans have a pretty sober view of the roster: This question was asked before the Giants optioned Bryce Eldridge to Triple-A Sacramento; and, as you can see here, the majority saw which way the wind was blowing, given the performance of the […]
Are Giants fans okay? I’m compelled to ask because of the last line in Susan Slusser’s report from Thursday about San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds joining the Netflix stream for Opening Night this coming Wednesday (which Steven discusses in more detail here). It goes, “Tickets remain available at the Oracle Park box office and […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Welcome to the first week of the regular season! It’s time to take a look at what’s on deck for the San Francisco Giants this week. Monday The Giants welcome the Sultanes de Monterrey to Oracle Park for an exhibition game tonight at 6:45 p.m. PT. The game will have television […]
It’s been an offseason of unexpected moves for the San Francisco Giants. No one expected them to pursue Luis Arráez as the answer to their second base conundrum, and adding a catcher (Daniel Susac) in the Rule 5 Draft wasn’t an obvious move. They addressed their rotation, as was necessary, but not the way that […]
Victor Bericoto got good and bad news from the San Francisco Giants Friday. He learned he’d been reassigned to the team’s Minor League camp. But he left as the 2026 winner of the Barney Nugent Award. The annual Barney Nugent Award goes to the Giants player making his spring training debut“whose performance and dedication in […]
Good morning, baseball fans! We have officially reached the last weekend before baseball gets back! Opening Day for the San Francisco Giants is right around the corner.

Today, on the Spring Equinox, the Texas Rangers welcome a sliver of San Francisco Giants to Surprise for a Cactus League night game. RHP Nathan Eovaldi makes what is surely his final appearance of the spring ahead of his Opening Day start next Thursday. San Francisco will counter with RHP Spencer Bivens for the split […]
The Colorado Rockies dropped a high-scoring affair yesterday, falling 14–11 to the San Francisco Giants. Willi Castro and Kyle Karros each had two hits to lead the offense, but bullpen struggles proved costly—most notably Seth Halverson, who continued to have a tough spring. Tonight in Peoria, the 12–13 Rockies take on the 14–11 Padres, where temps could still be triple digits at first pitch. The roster is now trimmed […]
Opening Day is just five days away for the San Francisco Giants, and the camp cuts are coming as fast and furious as my favorite modern movie franchise. The big news came on Thursday, when the Giants optioned top prospect Bryce Eldridge to AAA Sacramento, along with Grant McCray and Tyler Fitzgerald. That ended the […]
At 3 PM Kansas City time, the Royals and Rangers prospects will kick off a Spring Breakout game, meant to highlight what the two farm systems have to offer. The rosters have been set, but here is the starting lineup for that game: For many Royals fans, this will be the first opportunity to see […]

In a teeny tiny bit of a shocker, the San Francisco Giants have optioned top prospect Bryce Eldridge to Triple-A Sacramento, according to Maria Guardado via social media. Joining him are IF/OF Tyler Fitzgerald and OF Grant McCray, bringing a lot of the roster decision questions towards a swift answer. It looks like the team […]

Thursday night the Cincinnati Reds will send the best and brightest pieces of their farm system to Scottsdale to take on the best and brightest prospects from the system of the San Francisco Giants, the 2026 edition of the Spring Breakout Game.

Excitement is building for the San Francisco Giants, as Opening Day creeps ever closer … we’re just six days away, now. But unfortunately, the news on Thursday is anything but exciting: a few hours before the Giants play one of their final Cactus League games and their Spring Breakout contest, the Giants announced that right-handed […]
Wednesday saw the return of Shohei Ohtani to the mound for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and in typical Shohei style, he picked up where he left off last season (aside from that Game 7 clunker). Against the San Francisco Giants, Ohtani went 4 2/3 innings, allowing only one hit along with two walks and a […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The World Baseball Classic finale took place earlier this week between the teams representing the United States and Venezuela. The San Francisco Giants would have been winners either way, with players representing both countries. Ultimately, though, it was the Venezuelan team that came out on top. Which means that congratulations are […]

The San Francisco Giants played the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, in the hot, hot Arizona heat, and it didn’t go particularly well. It was a game with minimal moments of note for the Giants, who played the evil villains of the baseball universe for the final time before their first regular season matchup in […]
It was all about Shohei Ohtani today, making his first start this spring and showcasing the stuff that makes him one of the filthiest pitchers in the game—Ohtani pitched into the fifth inning when he was relieved by Edgardo Henríquez, helping Los Angeles on their way to a 5-1 win over the Giants. Possessing one […]
The San Francisco Giants have a whole lot of camp cuts to make in the next week. They entered Wednesday with 49 players still in Major League camp; next Wednesday, that number needs to be 26. But they’re slowly chipping away at it. After cutting a pair of players on Tuesday, the Giants sent four […]
