It was a meaningful day around Giants camp, at least as far as these things go in spring training, where the games don't count and the stats don't matter. “It's very exciting,” manager Bob Melvin blurted at the mention of Jung Hoo Lee's name Tuesday morning. For the first time, Melvin wrote the name of the Giants' biggest free-agent acquisition in the top spot of his lineup card. Occupying the bottom spot reserved for the starting pitcher, was another cause célèbre, Jordan Hicks, whose high heat lit up the Scottsdale Stadium radar gun for the first time, too.

Multiple reports refute claim that J.D. Martinez had no interest in SF Giants Free agent slugger J.D. Martinez reportedly turned down a one-year deal with the SF Giants, but did make a counter offer. Author: Steven Rissotto Publish date: Feb 27, 2024 4:03 PM EST In this story: San Francisco Giants The contradictory details of the recent contract negotiations between the SF Giants and J.D. Martinez slowly continue to leak out. While the Giants ultimately inked designated hitter Jorge Soler to a three-year, $42 million deal instead of the former Dodgers right-handed slugger, a recent report by Jon Heyman that Martinez "didn't want to go" to the Giants sparked some counter reports that undermined

A player who hit .194 last season was not re-signed, and apparently, this is treasonous behavior from Giants director of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi. Look, Brandon Crawford is a Giants legend. No one else will ever wear No. 35 for San Francisco again — that's the number for the brilliant fielder who is going to have the plaques and statues outside of Oracle Park. The Giants signed former Diamondbacks shortstop Nick Ahmed to a minor-league deal on Monday, too.

The San Francisco Giants hope to lean on a trio of young arms to round out their rotation. It was revealed Tuesday that Tristan Beck had been scratched from his start the previous day — replaced by Mason Black — and flown back to San Francisco to be examined by doctors after experiencing soreness in his right hand. Beck, 27, is already the second member of the projected starting five to be sidelined this spring, joining Keaton Winn, who just resumed throwing on Monday after being shut down for a week with elbow soreness. There's enough ambiguity with both starters that each could be ready for the regular season, but their early health issues also raise the possibility of the Giants breaking camp without two-fifths of their projected starting rotation and not much depth behind them.

Stepping into the batter's box Monday afternoon for the first time with the San Francisco Giants, Jorge Soler cocked the two-toned Marucci bat over his right shoulder and, on the very first pitch he saw, unloaded with a fury.

A few pitches later, Soler cracked a line-drive single into left field, recording a hit in his first exhibition at-bat with his new team. Flores, who helped recruit Soler to San Francisco, trotted home.
