Giants get walked-off by Rangers on missed catch
You follow the San Francisco Giants, so you’re familiar with bad baseball. You’re well aware of it from watching the Giants, both this year and in many other years. But you’ve also become keenly alert to bad baseball through divisional foes such as the woeful Colorado Rockies, who, in most years, make you feel a […]
The Giants’ trade deadline finally made them interesting
Buster Posey and Zack Minasian did quite well at the trade deadline yesterday, but where does that leave the San Francisco Giants today and beyond? In the midst of another rebuild. Buster Posey might not call it that, and the Giants have strenuously objected to such a practice in the past, but make no mistake: […]
8/4 Gamethread: Giants @ Rangers
The San Francisco Giants continue this three-game road series against the Texas Rangers this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Blade Tidwell, who enters today’s game with a 3.00 ERA, 3.51 FIP, with 10 strikeouts to three walks in 12 innings pitched in relief for the Giants this season, this will […]
Recapping the Giants trade deadline
The 2026 MLB trade deadline is in the books, and it was the most active the San Francisco Giants have been in a very long time. For that matter, I covered the Giants for the entirety of Farhan Zaidi’s churn-driven reign, and I can’t remember a period of activity like what we saw from the […]
Giants call up Eddys Leonard
After playing with only 25 players on the active roster during Monday’s victory over the Texas Rangers, the San Francisco Giants have finally filled out their roster for tonight’s game. Prior to the second game of the three-game series, the Giants announced that infielder Eddys Leonard had been called up from AAA Sacramento. Leonard was […]
Tuesday BP: So, how are we feeling?
Good morning, baseball fans! The 2026 MLB Trade Deadline has now passed, at least for you. I am writing this ahead of the deadline, and so far the San Francisco Giants have moved Tyler Mahle, Robbie Ray, and Luis Arraez. Those were three moves I mostly expected, so there’s not really anything shocking there. But […]
Trade grades for the San Francisco Giants
Andrew Baggarly just described today’s activity as “frenetic,” and he’s right. The past two trade deadlines have been practically Zaidian for Buster Posey, Zack Minasian, and the San Francisco Giants. For as much as the franchise has oversteered from the 2019-2024 days, the new regime is a lot like the old one in that no […]
Giants call up 5 players after deadline trades
The San Francisco Giants traded six players off of their Major League roster between Sunday’s series finale against the San Diego Padres and Monday’s series opener against the Texas Rangers. And so, naturally, after parting ways with Luis Arráez, Heliot Ramos, Robbie Ray, Tyler Mahle, Erik Miller, and Caleb Kilian, the Giants had some work […]
8/3 Gamethread: Giants @ Rangers
The San Francisco Giants (or what’s left of them) begin a three-game road series against the Texas Rangers this afternoon. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Logan Webb, who enters tonight’s game with a 3.93 ERA, 3.42 FIP, with 93 strikeouts to 30 walks in 119 innings pitched. His last start was […]
Giants trade Erik Miller to Red Sox for Marcelo Mayer
The San Francisco Giants have had a remarkably busy trade deadline day, and they just pulled off perhaps the most fascinating of all their moves. According to multiple reports, the Giants are sending left-handed reliever Erik Miller and outfield prospect Carlos Gutierrez to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for infielder Marcelo Mayer. Mayer is […]
Thanks, Heliot Ramos
The Giants are finalizing a trade that sends outfielder Heliot Ramos to the New York Yankees for at least prospect Henry LaLane, a left-handed pitcher. But before I dig into that, I want to take a moment to editorialize here (also, Brady is writing up the concurrent trade that’s breaking on the wire as I […]
Giants trade Robbie Ray to the Padres for Miguel Mendez and Joniel Hernandez
The San Francisco Giants are continuing their busy trade deadline. On Monday, about four hours before the deadline, it was reported that the Giants are trading left-handed starting pitcher Robbie Ray to the San Diego Padres. ESPN’s Jeff Passan was first to report the news. According to a report from Jon Heyman, the return for […]
Giants-Rangers Series Preview: Trades! Trades! Trades!
Oh, right! There’s a new series afoot! But that doesn’t mean we have to put a pin in trade deadline talk. The state of the American League is such that the Rangers’ 55-57 record has them just 2.5 games back of the AL West-leading Houston Astros (58-55) and 1.5 games out of the final Wild […]
Giants trade Luis Arráez, Caleb Kilian to Phillies for RHP Ramon Marquez
Today is the MLB trade deadline, and the San Francisco Giants wasted no time being active. Early in the morning, news broke that the Giants had traded All-Star second baseman to the Philadelphia Phillies for right-handed pitching prospect Ramon Marquez. The Giants are also sending right-handed reliever Caleb Kilian to Philadelphia, while getting back right-handed […]
Monday BP: What’s on deck this week?
Good morning, baseball fans! A new week of San Francisco Giants baseball starts today, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck for the week. First up, the Giants continue their road trip with a three-game series against the Texas Rangers starting tonight. After that, they head back to Oracle Park to welcome the […]
Giants trade Tyler Mahle to Atlanta for RHP Anthony Molina
The San Francisco Giants are expected to be one of the biggest sellers in baseball this season. And on Sunday night, less than 24 hours before the trade deadline, the Giants finally got started. According to a report by Robert Murray, the Giants are trading right-handed starter Tyler Mahle to the Atlanta Braves in exchange […]
8/2 Gamethread: Giants @ Padres
It’s series finale time, and the San Francisco Giants are in need of a win to split their four-game date with the San Diego Padres. Righty Landen Roupp takes the mound for the Giants, making his 22nd start. Roupp has had an up-and-down season, and is 7-9 with a 4.12 ERA, a 3.38 FIP, and […]
Sunday BP: Highlight of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end today, so it’s time to pick our favorite highlights of the week. I’m going with Luis Arraez and Heliot Ramos’ four-hit game in Wednesday’s 16-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. In fact, let’s just go ahead and give this one […]
Giants call up Nate Furman, place Jesús Rodríguez on the IL
For the last week or so, one of the questions surrounding the San Francisco Giants is what they would do at second base for the rest of the year. All-Star Luis Arráez will almost certainly be traded ahead of Monday’s deadline, and his logical replacement, Casey Schmitt, is out for the rest of the season […]
8/1 Gamethread: Giants @ Padres
It’s the first game of August! Rejoice, San Francisco Giants fans …. the season won’t go on much longer. The Giants are in sunny SoCal for this contest, as they play the third of four games against the San Diego Padres. Right-hander Tyler Mahle takes the mound for the Giants, in what could very possibly […]
7-0 burial
Yeah, ummm…, the Giants didn’t win this one. If you watched the whole game, I’m sorry, but the writing was on the wall pretty much from the National Anthem. The Padres are the hot team. They’ve got something to play for in terms of the postseason. The Giants are a loosely affiliated gaggle of guys. […]
Saturday BP: Player of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! Another week of San Francisco Giants baseball comes to an end this weekend, so it’s time to decide who will be your Player of the Week! There were a few strong candidates this week, but most of them were players I’ve picked fairly often this season so I’m going to go […]
7/31 Gamethread: Giants @ Padres
The San Francisco Giants continue this four-game road series against the San Diego Padres tonight. Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Carson Whisenhunt, who enters tonight’s game with a 4.60 ERA, 5.46 FIP, with 13 strikeouts to eight walks in 15.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 4-3 loss […]
Harrison Bader suspended without pay
This slowly developing story from Tuesday came to a head this afternoon as Buster Posey has put out a statement confirming that the San Francisco Giants have suspended the injured Harrison Bader without pay. Over the weekend, Harrison Bader was involved in an accident that has delayed Harrison’s prior treatment timeline for plantar fasciitis and, […]

All six of the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball teams that are still in season (the ACL is done with for the year) were in action on Thursday, and there were some tremendous performances to talk about. So let’s talk about them! Link to the 2026 McCovey Chronicles Community Prospect List (CPL) All listed […]
