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.

Former S.F. Giants Outfielder Doesn't Believe A's Fans Will Switch Allegiances Hunter Pence nails his assessment of A's fans Author: Jason Burke Publish date: Feb 23, 2024 6:00 PM EST Even though Hunter Pence played across the Bay, there are a decent number of Oakland A's fans that respect the career he put up and enjoyed the sense of humor he had when he played the game. Yesterday Pence was a guest on Foul Territory, and because of that connection to the Bay Area, he was asked about the A's potential relocation to Las Vegas.

Last week, the San Francisco Giants agreed to terms with outfielder Jorge Soler on a three-year/$42 million deal. But the Giants reportedly could have had six-time MLB All-Star JD Martinez .

The Rangers are a potential fit for Martinez. …” Martinez turning down the Giants is interesting, as he is still a free agent with Spring Training underway.

LAKELAND, Fla. -- The Detroit Tigers have designated outfielder TJ Hopkins for assignment just 48 hours after he was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants . Hopkins' 40-man roster spot was needed after the Tigers signed veteran infielder Gio Urshela to a one-year deal on Thursday. Hopkins took a late-night flight from Arizona to Florida on Tuesday and was quickly on the practice field after passing his physical on Wednesday morning. But his stay in Tigertown could be a short one. He's now back on the waiver wire and could be headed to another camp if he's claimed. If he goes unclaimed, the Tigers can outright him to Triple-A Toledo and invite him back to Lakeland for the rest of camp.
