If the San Francisco Giants hear someone knocking on their door, it's probably Bryce Eldridge, and he's here to crash the party. Just short of two seasons into his minor league career, the power-hitting first baseman is on a fast track to join the club sooner, rather than later. Currently ranked as the Giants top prospect, Eldridge is one of those emerging stars who is supposed to be 'a year away' from being ready for prime time. Right now, he's making a case for a September call-up, and it's looking more like San Francisco's management may agree.

Yesterday on the farm.

With the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, the San Francisco Giants selected James Tibbs III, a corner outfielder out of Florida State University. With San Jose, Tibbs had a .415/.429/.512 slash line, hitting four doubles and impressing the organization right away through his first 42 plate appearances as a pro.

During an interview Thursday on KNBR (680 AM), Buster Posey, the Giants' president of baseball operations, raved about Eldridge's recent form at the plate. In his four most recent starts, Eldridge has hit four homers. “What's been really fun to watch with Bryce is the way that he's hitting the homers,” Posey said.

Bonds knew it was gone –– he's familiar with the feeling –– and raised his arms in the air, making for an iconic pose as he stood at the plate. The play-by-play call is memorable, too: "756 ... Bonds stands alone ... He is on top of the all-time home run list," which is spaced out well and let the moment breathe. The camera angle perfectly caught Bonds rounding third base as fireworks blast off in the night sky, and he was greeted with congratulations by his teammates at home plate. It was truly a historic moment as Bonds passed Hank Aaron to become MLB's all-time home run leader at 756.

The Pittsburgh Pirates dropped a 4-2 rubber match against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday afternoon at PNC Park.

It was the final month of a familiar configuration.

The San Francisco Giants struck arguably the most shocking trade of the 2025 MLB season when they acquired Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox. Rumors had swirled for months that the relationship between the four-time All-Star and Red Sox was deteriorating and a divorce could eventually be coming. No one expected it to occur in the fashion it did, on a Sunday in mid-June, when the Giants agreed to send left-handed pitcher Kyle Harrison, right-handed pitcher Jordan Hicks, outfield prospect James Tibbs III and right-handed pitching prospect Jose Bello to Boston.

On August 4, 2025, the New York Mets fell to the San Francisco Giants, 12–4, at Citi Field. With this loss, San Francisco secured the series win, taking two of three games. Starting pitcher Frankie Montas lasted four innings, allowing seven earned runs. The Giants scored four runs, capped by a three-run home run from Rafael Devers.

Former LSU baseball star Paul Skenes is gearing up for his next start with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Here's when he takes the mound.

The San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The Giants' Dominic Smith hit a go-ahead double in the ninth inning, while Jerar Encarnacion hit a home run in the fifth inning. The Giants stand at 58-57; the Pirates are 49-66.

Willy Adames found himself meditating on a mountain in Colorado. Adames had not been performing well when the Giants flew into Denver for a three-game series against the Rockies in early June. Amid those struggles, Adames took a mental respite. On June 9, the Giants had an off day and Adames retreated to the mountains with a close friend, someone who had previously guided him in meditation.

After a dreadful start to the second half of the season, the San Francisco Giants had to change course. Before the All-Star break, it appeared fairly clear that the Giants were going to be buyers at the trade deadline. Leading up to the deadline, San Francisco figured to be a team that would pursue another hitter and a middle-of-the-rotation pitcher. Instead, they ended up being sellers. It was a bit surprising to see them sell at the trade deadline after acquiring star slugger Rafael Devers not too long before.

Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants has now recorded an extra-base hit in his sixth consecutive game. Lee batted 1-for-4 with a double, as the Giants defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 at PNC Park in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Batting seventh in the lineup, Lee grounded out in his first two trips to the plate before flying out to third base in his third at-bat.

Jerar Encarnacion cannot catch a break. The Giants' 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday at PNC Park was dimmed by Encarnacion sustaining a right hamstring injury after hitting his second home run in as many days. Encarnacion still needs to undergo an MRI, but manager Bob Melvin did not sugarcoat the prognosis. “It doesn't look good,” Melvin said.

In the days leading up to the MLB trade deadline, everyone was curious what Buster Posey would do next to improve the San Francisco Giants. During his brief time as president of baseball operations, he showed the kind of aggressiveness the franchise desperately needed and has been missing since he retired as a player following the 2021 season. In free agency, he was able to court Willy Adames, signing him away from the Milwaukee Brewers to a historic seven-year, $182 million contract. The Giants got off to a hot start in 2025, but their offensive was inconsistent.

With the San Francisco Giants seemingly folding their hand at the trade deadline, they made some big moves that will lay the groundwork for 2026. Aside from the trade for veteran Rafael Devers, which saw them ship out Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, Jose Bello, and James Tibbs III, the club also made a few moves to solidify their future. San Francisco traded reliever Tyler Rogers on July 30 to the New York Mets in exchange for right-handed pitcher Jose Butto, right-handed pitching prospect Blade Tidwell, and outfielder prospect Drew Gilbert.

Dominic Smith hit a go-ahead double in the ninth inning, and the San Francisco Giants rallied for a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday. Jung Hoo Lee hit a one-out double down the right-field line off Dennis Santana (3-4). Smith, pinch hitting for Christian Koss, brought Lee in with another double to right to make it 3-2 and Patrick Bailey extended the lead with an RBI single.
