San Francisco Giants Leadership Throws Cold Water on Idea of Reunion with World Series Champion It doesn't appear as if Brandon Belt, who helped the San Francisco Giants win two World Series titles, will be heading back to the Bay Area this offseason.

Boston has had a quiet offseason but there still is time to make a move. The Red Sox certainly need to.

My favorite time of the year is almost upon us: the start of the Major League Baseball season. In my eyes, this is the most important season of Minor League Baseball since Farhan Zaidi took over as San Francisco Giants President of Baseball Operations after the 2018 season. More importantly, the Giants are at a juncture where a young core is starting to become the foundation of the team; but we don't yet know if it's a good foundation. San Francisco had a whopping 12 players make their MLB debut last year, and even that underscores just how reliant the team has become on young (and mostly unproven) talent.

This year’s Kansas City Chiefs run to the Super Bowl shares some striking similarities to the 2014 Royals run to the World Series.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have announced their promotional and giveaway schedule for the 2024 season. Highlights include Hello Kitty Night, Star Wars Night, two Shohei Ohtani bobblehead giveaways and much, much more.

The Giants hope to strike a balance between a new-school and traditional approach to baseball with their new coaching staff.

When Bobby Evans signed Marco Luciano, I'm certain he never thought that this player would make or break his successor. Yes, the San Francisco Giants will probably make it into the postseason again, we just don't know how or when. Marco Luciano is the position player prospect they need at the exact moment they need him. Hiring Bob Melvin and the components of the A's active development coaching staff seems like a good start.

Here it is, the final player review for the 2023 San Francisco Giants. If you were wondering, yes I did consider writing “lol A.J. Pollock was on the team,” hitting publish and calling it a day. The whole point of The Churn is to upgrade the back of the roster on the cheap. The premise of The Churn is as simple as that: “what if we bought as many lottery tickets as possible?” And the team will do the scratchers, the more expensive scratchers, the powerball numbers, et cetera — you can easily extend this metaphor in your mind.

Spring Training is right around the corner, so the smell of baseball is in the air. And as we take those glorious deep inhalations, we move forward with the 2024 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, which will see us rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. Coming in at No. 18 is right-handed pitcher Landen Roupp, who slides up two slots from his placement at No. 20 in last year's CPL. Roupp, who turned 25 in September, was the Giants 12th-round pick in the 2021 MLB Draft . He's battled injuries, but when he's been on the field he's been nothing short of dominant. 2023 was a prime example of that. Roupp spent the year with AA Richmond, where he made just
