For the fifth time in his career, Robbie Ray has a new team. “Because not only did I get Tommy John but I got flexor tendon surgery as well, so I got a full reconstruction,” Ray said Friday, introduced over Zoom three weeks after the San Francisco Giants acquired him from the Mariners for Mitch Haniger and Anthony DeSclafani. “It's been kind of a whirlwind,” Ray, 32, said. It will take some more time before the Giants can pencil the 2021 American League Cy Young winner into their rotation.

The 2024 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List marches on, as we continue to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. The next player on our list is a bit of a secret, because I'm embarrassed to say that I don't actually have a picture of him. It's left-handed pitcher Joe Whitman, who comes in at No. 16 on his inaugural CPL. Whitman was the Giants Compensatory Round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft , selected No. 69 overall (nice) with the pick that the Giants got when the New York Yankees signed Carlos Rodón after the Giants had extended him the Qualifying Offer. It's a pick that was widely viewed as fantastic: the Giants were openly surprised that Whitman was

Former SF Giants first-round pick signs milb contract with Brewers Longtime Boston Red Sox infielder, and former SF Giants first-round pick, Christian Arroyo has agreed to a minor-league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers. Author: Natasha Welingkar Publish date: Jan 26, 2024 1:00 PM EST In this story: San Francisco Giants Milwaukee Brewers Former SF Giants first-round draft pick Christian Arroyo has signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, per Robert Murray of FanSided.

Diamondbacks sign former SF Giants, Dodgers All-Star slugger Former SF Giants designated hitter Joc Pederson is moving on to the defending National League champions after inking a deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Author: Sean Keane Publish date: Jan 26, 2024 12:04 PM EST In this story: San Francisco Giants Arizona Diamondbacks Evan Longoria left the SF Giants for the Arizona Diamondbacks and made it to the World Series. Now another Giants veteran is moving south, but staying in the National League West. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Dbacks have agreed to a one-year contract with Pederson ( #40-ranked free agent ) that includes a mutual option for the 2025 season. It was reported on Thursday

Napa Yard, Oxbow Gardens will host the Giants & KNBR FanFest Tour 2024, featuring San Francisco outfielder Michael Conforto, third-base coach Matt Williams, teammates and coaches, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3, the San Francisco Giants announced in a press release. Napa siblings both choose military academies and careers.

The Giants reportedly pursued Rhys Hoskins before the ex-Philadelphia Phillies slugger reportedly signed with the Milwaukee Brewers.

Last night, it was reported by Bob Nightengale of USA Today that Joc Pederson and the Arizona Diamondbacks were in agreement on a one-year deal. Which means his time with the San Francisco Giants has come to an end. Pederson signed with the Giants prior to his All Star 2022 season, in which he posted career high offensive numbers, batting .274/.353/.521 for the season. Which made it a little bit of a surprise when he ultimately accepted the Giants' qualifying offer in the offseason.

Before Rhys Hoskins signed with the Milwaukee Brewers, he had a number of suitors, one of which included the San Francisco Giants. Names such as Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, whom the team reportedly pursued, signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers this offseason. Now, striking out once again on Hoskins, the Giants continue to look for more hitters, per the New York Post's John Heyman.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are getting close to landing slugger Joc Pederson, who would fill their need at designated hitter.

Alex Cobb recently spoke with NBC Sports Bay Area during the San Francisco Giants Sacramento Fan Fest event, and discussed his rehab timeline. During his discussion with NBC Sports, Cobb talked about his excitement to work with new pitching coach Bryan Price.

ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) – No baseball player from the Twin Tiers has achieved more than Horseheads’ Kirt Manwaring. A 13-year veteran in Major League Baseball (MLB), Manwaring rose to stardom in the big leagues all starting in Horseheads. Kirt played primarily for the San Francisco Giants from 1987 to 1996 winning a National League Gold […]

Spring Training is creeping nearer and nearer, as we trundle further and further along in the 2024 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, in which we'll rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. Next on the list is a player who added a jolt of energy and excitement to a Giants team sorely lacking in those things last year: utility player Tyler Fitzgerald, who has been voted as the No. 15 prospect in the system, a rise of three spots from last year's CPL. A fourth-round pick in 2019, Fitzgerald was initially a shortstop. But he added second and third base to his repertoire a few years ago, and in 2024 he learned how to play center field as well. Despite having

Joe Mauer, who enjoyed a six-year peak as one of the greatest catchers ever but spent the remainder of his career as a below-average first baseman, was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday. Mauer's name was on 76% of the ballots as he joined Adrian Beltre (95%) and Todd Helton (79%) to form this year's class that will be celebrated in Cooperstown, N.Y. in July. Players must appear on at least 75% of the 385 ballots submitted by writers with at least 10 years in the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Mauer's surprising first-ballot election should signal good times ahead for former San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, who could hear his name called as soon as 2027.

Giants pitcher Alex Cobb is progressing through his rehab from offseason hip surgery and doing everything he can to return to the mound as early in the 2024 MLB season as possible. Cobb spoke to NBC Sports Bay Area on Saturday at Giants Fan Fest about his rehab, providing an update on his progress and how he's feeling almost three months after surgery. "It comes in phases, so where you got to meet certain goals then you can move on to the next phase," Cobb told NBC Sports Bay Area. In speaking to reporters after the Giants' trade for veteran left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi was asked about the timeline for Ray and Cobb's midseason returns and stated that Ray, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, likely will return shortly after the MLB All-Star break, and that the team is encouraged by Cobb's progress and believes he could return sometime in the first half of the season.

If, come July, Keaton Winn is doing his best Mike Leake impression and eating innings with a mid-4s ERA, on pace for a 2-WAR season, then that's a cromulent fifth starter who should probably be optioned if Alex Cobb or Robbie Ray is available. If Ross Stripling is doing the same, then someone will be more than interested in trading for him: remember, the Dodgers purposely traded for Lance Lynn last year when he had a 6.47 ERA. If Jordan Hicks' nice ERA is the result of dominating innings one through three, then struggling for innings four through six, the Giants can move him to the bullpen and promise to give him another shot at starting in 2025, after a full offseason of conditioning and building up the arm with the training staff. The Giants can buy time with a decision then, by being ultra conservative with both Cobb and Ray, and slow-playing their rehab while riding the MLB wave.

The San Francisco Giants had captured the World Series title two years earlier against Texas in five games, the first championship for the team since 1954 when then-former New York Giants defeated Cleveland. San Francisco's 2012 season paralleled a roller coaster ride, but two key trades began to propel the team toward the Fall Classic. One of those players who breathed life into the Giants like a paramedic conducting live-saving CPR was Hunter Pence, who was traded by the Phillies to the City by the Bay in a July 31, 2012, trade. Pence expressed fond memories of Reno when he rehabbed with the Sacramento River Cats in 2018 and spoke Thursday at the annual Bobby Dolan Dinner, the major fundraiser for the University of Nevada's baseball team.

Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton and Joe Mauer were elected to baseball's Hall of Fame on Tuesday while Billy Wagner and Gary Sheffield fell short.
