Where we tend to talk about the recent past a lot
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. So this weekend, I wanted to get one last temperature check before the season starts. Personally, I’m just excited for baseball to be back. I have a tiny, […]
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 […]
After a sojourn as not-quite world conquerors, Logan Webb re-donned the orange-and-black on Thursday, taking the mound in what should be his last Cactus League start before 2026’s Opening Day. It wasn’t the glorious, dominant return he may have envisioned for himself. Webb stifled international talent across two starts (allowing 1 ER over 8 2/3 […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are planning to hold their 2026 Wall of Fame ceremony for some of our most beloved former Giants players from the World Series championship era this season on Saturday, August 8th. Joining the Wall of Fame this year will be Forever Giants Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford, Brandon […]
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 […]
Move over, Tiger King. The newest Netflix star is the home run king. Netflix announced Thursday that Barry Bonds would be a special guest studio analyst for their telecast of the season opener between the San Francisco Giants and New York Yankees Wed., March 25. Bonds will join Albert Pujols and Anthony Rizzo as part […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
