The Giants have an open roster spot but did not make a selection with their Rule 5 pick. They did lose minor league right-handers Ryan Watson (A’s) and Spencer Miles (Blue Jays).

The Giants will pick fourth in the draft. By record they should be 15th, but they moved way up in the lottery. Randy Winn represented them on stage and brought some serious good luck.

With the MLB Winter Meetings underway, @alexpavlovic.bsky.social has five questions for the Giants to answer 🤔

Welcome to Cooperstown, Jeff Kent 🙌 Read more from @alexpavlovic.bsky.social on baseball's newest Hall of Famer: bit.ly/4pMIrmc

The Giants are adding another familiar face to staff: Longtime big league reliever Jesse Chavez will be their bullpen coach. Chavez spent 18 seasons in the big leagues and pitched for nine different teams, most recently the Braves last season.

Marco Luciano’s time in San Francisco is up. He has been claimed by the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Giants announced that Curt Casali and Javier Lopez are back as advisors to the baseball operations department. Paul Bien, their VP of analytics, has been promoted and is now an assistant general manager.

The Giants made the one-year deal with lefty reliever Sam Hentges official. In the release, they said the expectation is that he’ll be healthy and ready for spring training. He had shoulder surgery in 2024 and knee surgery in August.

The Giants announced that Casey Schmitt had left wrist surgery this morning. It went well and he's expected to have 8-10 weeks of rehab. That might impact his spring a little, but not his 2026 season.

The Giants acquired outfielder Joey Wiemer from the Marlins in exchange for Cash Considerations. Andrew Knizner was DFA’d to clear a spot. Wiemer flashed power with Brewers in 2023, but mostly he’s a good defender. Giants have now added two plus outfielders (Wiemer, Justin Dean) this offseason.

Logan Webb finished fourth in NL Cy Young Award voting. He has finished second, sixth and fourth over the past three seasons.

The Giants reportedly will fill one of their key coaching vacancies with this intriguing Blue Jays assistant (via @alexpavlovic.bsky.social)

The Giants have their manager, but most of the rest remains up in the air. @alexpavlovic.bsky.social breaks down where things stand in the search for Tony Vitello's new coaching staff ⬇️

At the GM Meetings, Buster Posey said assistant hitting coach Oscar Bernard and quality control coach Taira Uematsu will definitely be back. Mark Hallberg may be back, but he has been popular with other teams. Posey said they’re “close to finalizing” deals with new coaches.

The Giants traded Mason Black (recently DFA’d) to Kansas City for RHP Logan Martin, a starter who finished last season in High-A.

The Giants made it official: Bruce Bochy is back as a Special Advisor to Baseball Operations (the department run by his former catcher). Bochy: “This organization and city mean a lot to me and my family, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute in any way I can.”

Bryce Eldridge spoke to @alexpavlovic.bsky.social about his late-game success in the minors, which could be a big contribution to the Giants' lineup whenever the top prospect is called up.

Giants orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki and Dr. Keith Meister both recommended that Randy Rodriguez undergo Tommy John surgery. Rodriguez will make a decision this weekend. Horrible news for the breakout star of the 2025 season. Surgery would keep him out all of next season.

Landen Roupp said a second opinion confirmed he only has a bone bruise. When he went down, he was sure he had torn his ACL, but all is good. He’ll be down about four weeks, which pretty much ends a very promising season, but it’s good news overall.

Randy Rodriguez went on IL with an elbow sprain. Keaton Winn is back on roster.

The Giants will do something next season for just the third time in 19 years. @alexpavlovic.bsky.social breaks down the highlights of San Francisco's 2026 season schedule 🔽

Per Giants, Landen Roupp’s MRI yesterday revealed a bone bruise. He’ll seek other opinions, but that’s positive news for now.
