Latest news and updates about the Giants
On Thursday night, a group of top prospects from the San Francisco Giants organization will square off against a group of top prospects from the Cincinnati Reds organization at Scottsdale Stadium. It’s the oh-so-exciting Spring Breakout game, back for the third year (though it’s just the second time the Giants have played the game, thanks […]

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Giants fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. When pitchers and catchers reported for Spring Training in Scottsdale more than a month ago, the biggest […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Boy, do I have great news for you today. We are officially one week away from Opening Day 2026! That’s right, the San Francisco Giants will be playing meaningful baseball exactly one week from today! So today, I wanted to check in with you all to see what you’re watching for […]
It’s the most exciting time of the year. The grass is cut. The sun is shining. The bats are cracking. The gloves are popping. You can talk yourself into any prospect being the breakout star to come. You can convince yourself that (almost) any player is in the best shape of their life. Hope is […]
A National League West showdown is upon us on Wednesday afternoon, with the Dodgers back at Camelback Ranch to battle the San Francisco Giants. Shohei Ohtani will pitch in his first game this spring in this one, manager Dave Roberts told reporters at Camelback Ranch on Tuesday. Ohtani last pitched four simulated innings last Thursday […]
The San Francisco Giants waited longer than usual to announce their first round of camp cuts this Spring Training, which is perhaps partially due to a new coaching staff wanting to get familiar with everybody, but probably mostly due to the roster logistics required after losing players to the World Baseball Classic. But once they […]
Walker Buehler is one of a handful of pitchers competing for a spot at the back of the San Diego Padres rotation. He made a strong case for himself with a dominant start against the San Francisco Giants. Buehler threw five scoreless innings and recorded seven strikeouts while allowing three hits and two walks. The […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Also, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! The San Francisco Giants do not play today, so instead I thought we’d take another look at Sunday’s game. Spring Training games aren’t usually ones that stand out in the memory hole, but Sunday’s game is definitely going to be an outlier. Not only did the […]
A day after flirting with perfection, the Giants were perfectly inept at capitalizing on scoring opportunities. In their 3-1 loss against the San Diego Padres, San Francisco bats went hitless in a baker’s dozen worth of at-bats, including three duds in the 9th inning after Osleivis Basabe’s lead-off triple. Tyler Fitzgerald’s sacrifice fly in the […]
The San Francisco Giants have now sent out 9 players from their 19 Spring Training invitees following today’s cuts of catcher Logan Porter, infielder Nate Furman, and lefty Nick Margevicius. They join Friday’s cuts of lefty reliever Juan Sanchez, righty Wilkin Ramos, and Thursday’s cuts of relievers Will Bednar and Trent Harris, catcher Diego Cartaya, […]

Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are back for their last week of Spring Training baseball. So here’s what’s on deck for this week. Monday The Giants will visit the San Diego Padres for today’s game, starting at 1:10 p.m. PDT. This game will have audio available on the MLB At Bat app. […]
Is this an omen? Like Benny the Jet knocking the cover off a ball in “The Sandlot” — is Gregory Santos botching a perfect game with two outs in the 9th a sign of terrible things to come? Is this 2026 bullpen going to be the death of the San Francisco Giants? Did not the […]
Box Score As the headline suggests, there weren’t many positives in today’s game. The Brewers were just one out away from falling victim to a combined perfect game, ultimately losing 7–1 to the San Francisco Giants. Giants starter Robbie Ray went five innings, racking up eight Ks in the process. Relievers Carson Seymour, Tristan Beck, […]
Hayden Birdsong’s tough spring just took a turn for the worse. The San Francisco Giants’ 24-year old right-hander entered camp hoping to earn a bullpen role as well as the job of next-man-up in the rotation, but his first two outings of the spring were a disaster, and far too reminiscent of his collapse during […]
Milwaukee snapped a four-game losing streak yesterday in an 8-4 win over the Colorado Rockies. Today’s game pits the Brewers against another NL West opponent, the San Francisco Giants. Shane Drohan will get the start in what will be his fourth appearance of the spring. The 6’3” lefty has racked up 10 strikeouts over 8 […]
With the best record and run differential in the Cactus League for the second Spring Training in a row, it makes a lot of sense that the San Francisco Giants fans are feeling pretty good about the team heading into the regular season. For the moment, let’s ignore what actually happened after last Spring Training’s […]
Record: 10-12. Change on 2025: -1.5. 5-inning Record: 5-15-2. The Diamondbacks came back from five runs down, powered largely by Jacob Amaya’s grand-slam (below). An eighth inning home-run by Angel Ortiz then gave Arizona the lead, as they won consecutive games for the first time since March 4. It wasn’t a great day for the […]
Another double-dip day, and in the World Baseball Classic, Italy and Puerto Rico is already under way. Remarkably, the Italians put up a four-spot in the bottom of the first, so their Cinderella story continues. I’m trying to think of an equivalent team reaching the World Cup semi-final. Morocco were unexpected semi-finalists last time. Maybe […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants will be at home for the two games this weekend. First up, they will play the Arizona Diamondbacks at 1:05 p.m. PDT on Saturday, which will have broadcasts on NBC Sports Bay Area for local fans and MLB Network for out-of-market fans. Radio coverage will be available […]
A few days ago, I took a microscope and a fine comb to some Cactus League stats for the San Francisco Giants hitters. Today it’s time to do the same thing, except for the pitchers. The goal is simple: take data that’s already too small to be meaningful, and split it into even smaller, less […]
It’s a full day of baseball down in the desert as the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants go up against one another twice in split-squad action at both teams’ home parks. Chase Burns will toe the rubber in the early game, which will begin at 7:05 PM ET. That one’s on the road in […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Per reporting from John Shea of The San Francisco Standard, the San Francisco Giants will get the honor of hosting Netflix’s first baseball broadcast this season on Opening Day. Now, I’m not the best person to write on this. I have been crusading against the streaming wars taking over baseball one […]
The White Sox and Giants kept the game low-scoring and close all evening, which in turn made it harder for me to keep my eyes open. And all for nothing, as it ended in a tie. Here is the breakdown for a mostly uneventful game: The first run Trevor McDonald has allowed this spring went […]
