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.

It may be late February and spring training may indeed be underway, but the offseason still feels incomplete for many teams around MLB as several high-end free agents remain unsigned.

As Pablo Sandoval attempts to crack the Giants' 2024 roster, he's done his part to build relationships with San Francisco's younger Spanish-speaking players. In speaking to KNBR 680's “Murph & Markus" on Thursday, Sandoval elaborated on his rapport with younger members of the organization. When asked what he thought of the Giants' young players, Sandoval told Brian Murphy and Markus Boucher that the group has impressed him so far in spring training.

When the San Francisco Giants open their spring training slate Saturday, they'll have many of their expected regulars in the starting lineup. There are, realistically, two spots to be won on the Giants' bench.

SF Giants re-sign former top pitching prospect to minor-league deal The SF Giants have re-signed left-handed pitcher Seth Corry, who was once the top pitching prospect in the organization, to a minor league contract.

Corry was drafted by the Giants in the third round of the 2017 MLB Draft and was once a consensus top-10 prospect in the organization. However, a combination of the COVID-pandemic, stalled command, and injuries led Corry's development

Dodgers Free Agent All-Star Reportedly Rejected Giants Offer in Free Agency Dodgers fans will love this news... Author: Jason Fray Publish date: Feb 24, 2024 11:30 AM EST In this story: Los Angeles Dodgers While the additions of Teoscar Hernandez and Shohei Ohtani likely prevented a reunion between the Dodgers and JD Martinez, it doesn't mean that the professional hitter doesn't still hold a place in the hearts of those who bleed Dodger Blue. Martinez is still out on the market unsigned. It's a curious turn of events, considering he is still a good hitter with plenty of postseason experience. Last season, functioning predominantly as the Dodgers' designated hitter, Martinez

Nike and Major League Baseball have caught flack for the new baseball jerseys this year due to their "cheap" look. Nike's new on-field Vapor Premier uniforms for the 2024 MLB season were recently revealed as pitchers and catchers reported for spring training. San Francisco Giants' Casey Schmitt modeled the jerseys during the team's recent photo shoot day, but apparently, he modeled something else.

Wilmer Flores' role with the Giants is up in the air after the team's series of offseason moves.

New A's pitcher Ross Stripling admits that his new "Deathball" pitch is not ready to see the light of day yet.

Jung Hoo Lee and Jorge Soler both will be held out of the Giants' first Cactus League game against the Cubs on Saturday.

Report: Former Red Sox, Dodgers slugger 'didn't want' to join SF Giants Before signing DH Jorge Soler, the SF Giants offered a contract to former Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers slugger J.D. Martinez, per Jon Heyman. Author: Marc Delucchi Publish date: Feb 23, 2024 1:25 PM EST In this story: San Francisco Giants Before landing top free-agent designated hitter Jorge Soler to a three-year, $42 million contract, the SF Giants made an offer to another prominent free agent slugger. According to a report by Jon Heyman of The New York Post, the Giants offered Los Angeles Dodgers free agent slugger J.D. Martinez ( #18-ranked free agent ) a contract. However, the six-time All-Star was not interested

Pete Alonso (+850), Ohtani (+900) and Kyle Schwarber (+1200) also deserve a look-in as they've all led their leagues in long balls in recent years. The most intriguing names on the list in terms of value are the Houston Astros' Yordan Alvarez (+1300) and San Francisco Giants' Jorge Soler (+5500).

For the first time Friday morning as manager of the San Francisco Giants, Bob Melvin made up his lineup card and hung it in home clubhouse. It being for their first exhibition of the Cactus League schedule, there were a few names missing. Most notably absent were the Giants' two biggest free-agent acquisitions, center fielder Jung Hoo Lee and slugger Jorge Soler. Nursing a sore side from swinging in the cage, Lee is “a day or two away,” from making his debut, Melvin said, describing the issue as minor.

Luis Matos and Marco Luciano came to spring training bulked up in an effort to solidify their spots on the Giants' roster.

Sitting at his locker Thursday morning, Jorge Soler's face brightened up when he was asked about the neighbor to his right. The reaction likely mimicked the one Soler had earlier this month, when Wilmer Flores' face appeared on the Zoom call between him, Farhan Zaidi and Bob Melvin in what turned out to be a successful pitch to bring the big Cuban to San Francisco. Such a team player, Flores — the 2023 Willie Mac Award winner — didn't flinch when the Giants asked him to help with their pitch to Soler, which also had the help of Thairo Estrada.

Pablo Sandoval is returning to the San Francisco Giants for a third stint with the club, this time on a minor league contract that includes an invitation to major league camp. The 37-year-old Sandoval — a fan favorite nicknamed Kung Fu Panda who earned 2012 World Series MVP honors — will be attempting to get back to the big leagues for the first time since 2021, when he batted .178 with a .302 on-base percentage, four homers and 11 RBIs in 69 games with the Atlanta Braves. “We had to sign Pablo because the workout videos he was sending me were taking up all the space on my phone,” Giants President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi said.
