2025 stats (with SFG): 13 G 48.2 IP 6.47 ERA / 3.65 FIP, 43 K, 20 BB, 3 HR, 1.54 WHIP, 56.4 GB%, +0.7 fWAR Unlike Kyle Harrison’s player review, a look at his whole season won’t be necessary to get a sense of his performance. The Giants have not been able to build up […]

The San Francisco Giants have made their first Major League signing of the offseason, and they waited until a federal holiday to do it. I’m sure that wasn’t their intention — nothing has been made official or announced by the team — but it’s when the news broke. On Thanksgiving morning, FanSided’s Robert Murray reported […]

Good morning, baseball fans! I’ve been a little distracted over the last couple of weeks, so I completely missed the fact that the 2026 Hall of Fame ballots had been announced.

Good morning, baseball fans! The Women’s Professional Baseball League draft took place last Thursday, with San Francisco receiving the first pick.

The San Francisco Giants resigned infielder Osleivis Basabe to a new minor league contract. Basabe was traded from the Tampa Bay Rays last February and logged 477 PA, playing in 125 games for Triple-A Sacramento over the 2025 season. The 24 year old didn’t do much to distinguish himself offensively and was booted from the […]

Good morning, baseball fans! I wanted to try something new and (hopefully) fun this weekend. That’s right, a pop quiz! Kind of. One thing I’ve noticed about sports fans is that when you get them together, they like to argue. Sometimes about things that are completely subjective, and sometimes about things that are well-defined (but […]

Today was the tender deadline for arbitration eligible players. The San Francisco Giants had decisions to make for three players: RHP JT Brubaker, LHP Joey Lucchesi, and catcher Andrew Knizner. Earlier today, Knizner was designated for assignment to make room for OF Joey Wiemer, and at the deadline the Giants non-tendered Lucchesi and held on […]

The San Francisco Giants still haven’t finalized their staff, but the pieces are all coming together, and a trend is continuing: they’re hiring a lot of people that new manager Tony Vitello is comfortable with.

The 2025 season was arguably the best in recent memory for the San Francisco Giants farm system, but most of the work has happened at lower levels. As such, the development hasn’t left too many players on the precipice of the Majors, and that was on display Tuesday, with a critical decision the Giants made. […]

Fansided’s Robert Murray reports that, according to his sources, the San Francisco Giants have hired Justin Meccage (pronounced “Message”) to be their pitching coach in 2025. Meccage is a 45-year old former Yankee farmhand with a diverse coaching and development background that probably stood out for the similarly well-traveled Tony Vitello. He was drafted by […]

Boy, do Yankees fans not have the stomach for Devin Williams. Is he a good idea for the Giants? Jeff Passan seems to think so. And earlier today, Jon Morosi — who has probably lost his credibility after his reporting on Shohei Ohtani — fueled rumors that the San Francisco Giants have interest in this […]
