The Texas Rangers were able to breathe a sigh of relief after one of their young stars had to suddenly leave Sunday’s spring training game.

Bruce Bochy and his team sealed the deal on the road, winning the World Series at long last—in the 53rd season since the team had picked up stakes and brought Major League Baseball to town. “I couldn't be prouder of a group,” the manager would say afterward. “They played with heart and determination. They weren't going to be denied.” That was done and was said in 2010 , when Bochy's San Francisco Giants took care of their Fall Classic business against the Rangers in Arlington. But surely you'd already caught that—the dead giveaway was that when he and his current team achieved a similar feat last November, it was in the Rangers' 52nd year in Texas. Though the Giants didn't go into 2010 as anything

Sign In The San Francisco Giants may have signed Jorge Soler to a three-year, $42 million contract last week but he may not have been the club's first choice. According to the New York Post's Jon Heyman , the Giants reportedly offered former Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodger slugger J.D. Martinez a contract. “Word is the ex-Dodger didn't want to go there,” Heyman wrote. “The Rangers are a potential fit for Martinez. …” MORE MLB MLB Writer Tabs Capable Starter As Red Sox's 2024 X-Factor by Tim Crowley 2 Min Read How Alex Verdugo Felt About Mandatory Appearance Change by Adam London 1 Min Read Giants Had Comical Reason Behind Signing Ex-Red Sox Pablo Sandoval by Jason Ounpraseuth 2 Min Read

As 2024 Spring Training is in full swing for the Los Angeles Dodgers, there is an air of excitement surrounding the team in anticipation for the start of the regular season, especially after their well-documented splashy offseason. The San Francisco Giants were somewhat active during MLB free agency, with their biggest move being the six-year, $113 million contract they gave to former Korean Baseball Organization (KBO) sensation Jung Hoo Lee.

Winn, the likely No. 4 starter, was set back by the time off, but he thinks he'll still be able to get up to 70-80 pitches before the end of camp. Winn also was shut down late last summer but he said the issue was different this time. "I was glad to hear that," manager Bob Melvin said. Kyle Harrison is lined up as the No. 2 starter, with Mason Black going on Monday and Jordan Hicks making his Giants debut on Tuesday.

The San Francisco Giants got one of the better free agents in the 2024 class by taking Jorge Soler. Before taking Soler, though, the Giants took a stab at another power hitter. J.D Martinez, the hard-hitting outfielder of the Los Angeles Dodgers, was offered a one-year contract by the Giants, per Bob Nightengale.

Breaking from a rambunctious Sunday morning conversation in Spanish with Jorge Soler, Pablo Sandoval grabbed the bat from his locker and began to make his way toward the clubhouse door and on to the batting cages for his morning hitting routine when a reporter interrupted him midstride. “Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,” Sandoval said. Yes, Sandoval was happy to make an exception to talk about the manager with whom he won three World Series and spent the first 10 years of his career. When his new manager, Bob Melvin, asked him about making the hour-long trek to Surprise for their exhibition against Bruce Bochy's Rangers, again Sandoval was glad to oblige.

Five minutes before first pitch Saturday afternoon, beneath overcast skies with temperatures in the mid 70s, Bob Melvin bounded out of the first-base dugout, slapped the lineup card against his hands three times and strode toward home plate. For Melvin, the Menlo Park-raised manager, Saturday was more than just the Giants' first exhibition of spring. After an 8-4 loss to the Cubs to begin the Giants' Cactus League schedule, though, Melvin wasn't interested in sentimentalities. “I didn't really like the way it went, to tell you the truth,” Melvin said.

Spring training is underway, but the Giants might not be done adding key pieces to their roster just yet. San Francisco reportedly is among the four finalists for the services of free agent utility man Kiké Hernández, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported on Saturday, citing sources briefed on his discussions. At 32 years old, Hernandez offers a veteran with experience that can effectively slot in nearly anywhere on the diamond. In 54 appearances for the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, Hernandez made multiple appearances at every position in the field, except pitcher and catcher.

A longtime Bay Area sports fan, Bob Melvin had been following Kyle Harrison's career since he was a rising star at De La Salle when their paths crossed for the first time last season. The Padres were in town, and Melvin was staying at the hotel across from Oracle Park, which also serves as temporary housing for Giants newcomers before they get settled. “I saw him in an elevator at the Via and he was standing next to me like he didn't want to say anything,” the new Giants manager recalled. The next step on that trajectory looks to be the Giants' No. 2 starter behind Logan Webb.
