Giants sign injured NPB reliever Rowan Wick for 2027 season
Just as we all thought that the San Francisco Giants were done signing Major League contracts, they went and signed another. Except there’s a catch: it’s not for a player who will contribute this year. In a crafty move that will no doubt upset the vast swath of fans who are still upset about the […]

New SF Giants coach should shape up first base
One of the key moments in the film “Moneyball” comes when Brad Pitt’s Billy Beane and Brent Jennings’ Ron Washington visit Chris Pratt’s Scott Hatteberg to inform him they’re offering him a contract to play first base for the Oakland Athletics, even though he’s only played catcher in his big-league career so far. Beane insists […]

Player review: Ryan Walker
2025 stats: 68 G, 61.1 IP, 17 saves (24 chances), 4.11 ERA (3.63 xFIP), 8.8 K/9, 2.6 BB/9, +0.6 fWAR Relievers are fungible. In some cases, they’re not and in other cases, we really hope they’re not, but since failure is the core of baseball, it’s unavoidable that most relief pitchers simply get chewed up […]

Giants confirm that Luis Arráez is their second baseman
When the San Francisco Giants first made the mildly-surprising news to sign bat-to-ball maven Luis Arráez, there were questions about where he would play. Like most infielders, Arráez had played all over the dirt in the Minor Leagues, though he was viewed as a second baseman by the time he made the Majors. After a […]

Marco Luciano finally has a new home
It took three trips over the waiver wire through claims by three different teams for former top San Francisco Giants prospect Marco Luciano to finally find a home. He was designated multiple times for so many assignments, but the baseball gods finally took mercy on Luciano and let him pass through waivers and land with […]
