Some #SFGiants notes from Buster Posey on KNBR earlier today -Said Ron Washington is the first person in the building -Matt Chapman appreciates the work he did with Washington earlier in his career -Pretty much every bullpen role is up for grabs omny.fm/shows/murph-...

-Blade Tidwell, Carson Whisenhunt, and Hayden Birdsong have caught his attention so far -Recruited Michael Fulmer when he was going to college, but verbally committed to Arkansas before getting drafted -Said Erik Miller worked out extensively at Oracle Park this offseason

I’m taking this as they aren’t all that serious about Eldridge in OF. Otherwise one would think they would have given him a heads up earlier in the offseason.

"Epstein class" has the stickiness to it to become an amazing slogan for democrats to use that will land solidly with people. It's perfect and whoever wrote it should be very proud.

The Benito Bowl was full of the heart, soul, and unity this country desperately needs rn

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #abolishice #iceout #palantir #paloalto

{cough}

People didn't quite get that Tucker making the highest AAV didn't mean he was considered the best player in the sport I wonder if we'll hear the same thing about Framber, pitching-wise

Ngl, this is really upsetting. Been a Roundtable Head since the jump and it’s been such an absolute delight. Especially when the Giants seasons have been meh, TRT has buoyed my baseball-centric spirits Hopefully they find a new home soon

Where are all of the 2A folks now???

Willy Adames and Rafael Devers are staying in Scottsdale for the WBC but Jose Buttó has signed up to play for Venezuela. And of course, Logan Webb for USA and Heliot Ramos for Puerto Rico.

took a picture of my dog that looks like a New Yorker profile about her getting her life back on track after she was cancelled for calling basset hounds "lazy" and "unnecessary"

Target Center crowd erupts with “FUCK ICE” following the moment of silence for Alex Pretti

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

I peg Gonzalez+Davidson+Level+ Bresnahan+Whisenhunt at ~15 WAR in value. Abrams has three years of control left. Might get 9-10 WAR out of him, 12 at high end. So, accounting for $20M/3y, 7-10 surplus WAR. Suggested trade is a major overpay on paper imo. www.nytimes.com/athletic/699...

I also just don't understand what the Giants are doing. They claim to want to build a strong core of homegrown players, yet will mortgage them for a 2-3 WAR 2B? They say they're about defense and pitching yet target one of the worst defensive infielders? I don't get it.

Luci continues his MLB tour

🤖 Around The Foghorn Former A's first baseman Tommy Everidge has been hired as a hitting coach for the Giants' Double-A club.

Giants have FOUR T100 prospects! Bryce 18 Josuar 30 Bo 87 Johnny 98 In addition, they had eight total players get at least one vote. And BA is very high on Josuar Gonzalez & Bo Davidson, expecting both to rise up the T100 list based on what we’ve already seen & their projected trajectory

I think there should be a law about this.

this decade is the winter of our discontent

SO excited for Luis Hernandez! Really a top notch talent, due to skip the DSL and make his way to the ACL right out the gate. As he’s the top pick, he received $5m of the $5.44M bonus pool, thus the fewer number of players signed

In the last 10 months, San Francisco Baseball Associates LLC has sold 11%-12% of the team for an estimated 350M-450M. I wish every time the 17M to Blake Snell thing is written (pays out this week btw), so is this point. If ownership wants to direct focus on cash out, maybe mention cash in as well.

What the actual FUCK. These absolute fucking dickholes gave her tons of conflicting messages. What the fuck did they expect her to do?!?

Final Luis Hernandez hacks before he officially signs with Giants on Thursday. I’ve been watching Hernandez videos for a few years now. He has always had that bat path, but can start seeing some noticeable gains in bat speed over the past 6 months.

Josuar Gonzalez juuuust misses the T10. He’s at no. 11. He is near the top of the pack in two categories: - 2nd in run (70 grade) to Connor Griffin (PIT) - T-1 in fielding (70 grade) w/ Billy Carlson (WS) Per BA’s old grading system: 65. Adjusted grade: 50 (-15, high risk)

Two Minor League suspensions announced by MLB. Both are for 56 games due to positive tests for Stanozolol. -Giants pitcher Luis Custodio -Free agent pitcher Luis Sierra Custodio made 12 appearances in the DSL last season. Sierra was released a week ago by the Orioles.

Keyner Martinez is trending up 📈 The Giants prospect surged to sixth in San Francisco's system this year. Find out how he built on his repertoire during the 2025 season: buff.ly/pGAhngo

On Luis Hernandez: “polish at the plate…consistent quality at-bats…recognizes spin…compact swing to make frequent contact…good bat speed…potential to grow into a 20-plus home run threat…reliable defender…avg runner…plus arm”

that's a good point karl rove, and I agree, you should come over one of these days to watch a football game and we can talk about it (come alone)

One of those Winter Meetings nights where it feels like some big deal happens at 11:47PM and ruins everyone's night.

Here's an early look at the ZiPS x @fangraphs.com depth chart for the next ZiPS team, the San Francisco Giants.

The #SFGiants do not have much to show for the 7 drafts that Michael Holmes has served as the scouting director. That No. 4 pick becomes extremely important for the organization and really needs to be a can't-miss selection. It could be a chance at redemption for Holmes.

The Matt Williams trade was wildly unpopular when it went down in 1996. Giants general manager Brian Sabean immediately had to defend it by proclaiming, "I am not an idiot." He acquired a future Hall of Famer in Jeff Kent in the deal, so I think he won that battle.

Jeff Kent getting in, after being teammates with Barry Bonds, arguably the greatest player ever, is so ridiculous

Poor Luci! I hope that he can figure it out in Pittsburgh

Jacob Misiorowski averaged 7.6 feet of extension, ranking in the 100th percentile among MLB pitchers. Hopefully this fact catches on.

Throughout his career, Sam Hentges has been more effective against LHH. Much of the damage against RHH came in his first year when he was still used as a starter. Since 2022, he has been similarly effective (.559 OPS against LHH, .614 OPS against RHH) in those matchups #SFGiants
