Giants News

The San Francisco Giants are left to ponder their future as they wrap up a disappointing 2026 season with a 64-89 record. Buster Posey's remarks highlight the urgency for a revamped bullpen, currently ranked 25th in MLB with a +0.9 fWAR, but it's not just the arms that need fixing, defensive issues loom large as well. In the midst of this, the buzz around Bryce Eldridge continues to grow, with Mike Krukow's comparison to Will Clark setting the bar high for the young slugger. Meanwhile, Casey Schmitt's future is in limbo, showcasing the uncertainty that permeates the roster, especially with a looming 40-man roster crunch. On a brighter note, Jackson Flora dazzled in his Double-A debut, giving fans a glimmer of hope as the Giants look toward rebuilding and future success.

The bullpen, sure, but how do the Giants fix their defense?
In Buster Posey’s big interview with Tim Kawakami, he stated that the bullpen would be a point of emphasis this offseason. That group has been among the worst in the sport, but not quite negative in value, believe it or not: +0.9 fWAR, bad enough for 25th in MLB. As bad as they’ve been there, […]

Teams cannot carry players on their 60-day IL during the offseason, so that means the San Francisco Giants are about six weeks out from having a serious roster crunch. Or do they? There are quite a lot of good players on that 60-day IL and so by sheer math the players on the 40-man who’ve […]
