Giants make key free agency addition

Fri, 2023-12-08 17:42

After missing out on the playoffs, the San Francisco Giants went into the offseason hoping to make some additions on offense. While it isn't Shohei Ohtani or even Cody Bellinger, the Giants did add a slugger to their roster on Friday. San Francisco has signed utility man Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, via Jon Heyman of The New York Post. The official details of Tsutsugo's contract have not yet been revealed. Tsutsugo spent this last season playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates, appearing in just 50 games. He hit .171 with two home runs and 19 RBI. Over his three-year MLB career, Tsutsugo has hit .197 with 18 home runs and 75 RBI over 182 games. Since joining MLB with the Tampa Bay Rays, Tsutsugo has struggled

Massive quick-hitting, sneak-in-before-the-news mailbag

Fri, 2023-12-08 13:06

The baseball world was quiet on Thursday, but San Francisco Giants fans were loud. Amid manufactured momentum, Giants fans rallied together for an enormous (giant, you might say) online potluck, sharing stories, hope, pessimism, theories, and everything else. It seemed like a good time to put out questions for a mailbag, and the momentum of the Giants Faithful's onlineness resulted in roughly 109 questions.

Have SF Giants come up short in Ohtani sweepstakes? Conflicting reports that a deal is in place

Fri, 2023-12-08 12:00

The top-secret pursuit of the most coveted free agent in baseball history may — or may not — have reached its conclusion according to a series of conflicting reports Friday morning. If J.P. Hoornstra of Dodgers Nation and formerly the Southern California News Group, a partner of the Bay Area News Group, is to be believed, then the San Francisco Giants have come up short once again in their attempt to attract the game's top talent on the open market. Hoornstra cited anonymous sources Friday morning saying that Shohei Ohtani had made his decision and that the two-way megastar from Japan will expand his global audience, eschewing the Giants and the front-runners in Los Angeles for the Toronto Blue Jays. Multiple other reports, including ESPN's Alden Gonzalez and Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi of SportsNet, quickly pushed back and said no decision had been made.

Fri, 2023-12-08 10:04

While the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays have been the most talked about teams in the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes, the San Francisco Giants have stayed involved. Were Ohtani to sign elsewhere, the Giants would strongly pivot to a deal for Cody Bellinger, via Jon Morosi of The MLB Network.

MLB rumors: Giants still in on Shohei Ohtani amid Dodgers, Blue Jays interest

The Toronto Blue Jays were recently confirmed as a finalist in the Shohei Ohtani free agency sweepstakes. The Los Angeles Dodgers have consistently been mentioned as a serious suitor as well. Rodriguez reports that San Francisco's “top priority” is signing the two-way phenom. The Giants, of course, were connected to Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa in free agency last offseason.

Mike Krukow: If SF Giants don't acquire a star player this offseason, 'I'll quit the show'

Fri, 2023-12-08 05:00

The tension is building for the San Francisco Giants to make a star-sized splash this offseason. A few days after new manager Bob Melvin said the Giants are “players at the top of the market” and San Francisco is a “star-power town,” Giants color commentator Mike Krukow doubled down on his prediction that the club will make a huge addition this winter. “In the last two years they really weren't a team that could go out and support a super-duper star,” Krukow said on KNBR on Thursday. It's no secret the Giants need a middle-of-the-order bat to upgrade an offense that ranked second-to-last in the National League while scoring just 4.2 runs per game during the 2023 season.

Friday BP: Parrots and cousins and Krukow, oh my!

Fri, 2023-12-08 05:00

Happy Friday, San Francisco Giants fans. Tuesday and Wednesday were wild, if mostly uneventful days in the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes. We were treated to “news” galore, which feature unverified rumors, reports that Ohtani would likely pick a team by the end of the weekend , Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts tripping over himself in admitting to a meeting with Ohtani, and countless attempts at moralistic whining about Ohtani's completely reasonable secrecy. And then Thursday was quiet. Very quiet. Oh so quiet. Eerily quiet. It felt like the quiet before the storm, with barely a whisper — let alone report — about Ohtani. In all likelihood, that was just the fact that the Winter Meetings were

The best-known unknown for prospect-watching fans is a team's internal reports and projections for a given player. There felt like a season-long disconnect between what spectators observed and what the team knew beyond the numbers, because, hey, look above — that Triple-A line looks like one from a guy who would earn himself an extended look. No team will trade for him after that 2022 combined line or the 3-for-16 line he posted in seven Spring Training games.
