Thairo Estrada has a .251 average with 48 homers, 195 RBIs and 52 stolen bases in 469 games over parts of six seasons with the Yankees (2019-20) and Giants (2021-24).

Josh Rojas hit .225 with eight homers, 31 RBIs and 10 steals in 143 games with Seattle last season.

Blake Snell clapped back at a San Francisco Giants fan on social media after the two-time Cy Young Award winner joined the rival Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB free agency this offseason.

Thairo Estrada is guaranteed $4 million in his one-year contract with the Colorado Rockies and can earn $750,000 in performance bonuses. Estrada gets a $3.25 million salary as part of the agreement announced Jan. 9, and the contract includes a $7 million mutual option for 2026 with a $750,000 buyout. Estrada also gets a hotel suite on road trips.

The San Francisco Giants will enter Spring Training with a better team than last year. On paper, that's a step in the right direction, but there's still more the Giants could do to start truly competing in a loaded National League West. As currently constructed, they seem to be a Wild Card team, which isn't the worst thing. The NL West is the best division in baseball, and making the playoffs via the Wild Card is all a team needs to potentially make a deep run.

Entering his second year as outfielder for the San Francisco Giants, Lee Jung-hoo said Monday he would love nothing more than to stay healthy in 2025. Lee left for the United States on Monday to prepare for his second season in the MLB. Lee was limited to just 37 games as a rookie in 2024, due to a shoulder injury he suffered while trying to make a leaping catch at the outfield wall at Oracle Park in San Francisco on May 12. Lee, who signed a six-year, $113 million contract with the Giants in December 2023, finished his rookie campaign with a .262/.310/.331 batting line, two home runs, eight RBIs and two steals.

The New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants have been informed Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki won't be signing with them. Giants general manager Zack Minasian announced during a news conference Monday to introduce Justin Verlander that San Francisco no longer was in contention. Sasaki's decision to eliminate the Yankees and Rangers was disclosed to The Associated Press by people familiar with the negotiations.

Let's set the record straight, the San Francisco Giants offense in 2025 should be much better than it was in 2024. President of baseball operations Buster Posey made headlines just days into his tenure with the extension of third baseman Matt Chapman. While Chapman will continue to man third base in 2025, he served as the club's best hitter in 2024. Adames has a career OPS+ of 109, and had a 118 mark in 2024, which will force Tyler Fitzgerald off the position and to one he is much more suited at playing, helping the offense and the defense.

Like every competent team in baseball, the Giants were in on the hot-shot Japanese free-agent pitcher, who, like Shohei Ohtani before him, is limited to signing a minor-league deal with a Major League team. Then again, so did the White Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. The Giants cannot land free agents without overpaying the market.

Fresh off a World Series championship, could a free agent starter who helped the Los Angeles Dodgers win a ring in 2024 be on the move to the San Francisco Giants? A new report from Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller indicates that may be the case. All eyes around Major League Baseball are currently watching what Rōki Sasaki's going to do, but beyond Sasaki, there's a 29-year-old former Detroit Tiger with the potential to add immense value to the rotation of the franchise that signs him, per Miller. “Aside from Sasaki, Jack Flaherty is the biggest name still out there, and by a wide margin,” Miller said.

The San Francisco Giants made a splash by signing Willy Adames this offseason. The Giants gave Willy Adames the largest deal in franchise history. Just Baseball's Clay Snowden named the Giants as a potential landing spot for Randal Grichuk.

The San Francisco Giants ushered in the next era of their front office this offseason and made it clear they are willing to spend money for star players. With that willingness, though, they have still managed to shed major payroll. Jon Becker of FanGraphs released a graph that shows the difference in payroll from last year to this one. While it is likely their number grows a bit, they are still in a good spot with their payroll given the signings already made this offseason.

The San Francisco Giants reportedly have been told that Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki will not be signing with them during his signing window that opens on Jan. 15, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Giants general manager Zack Minasian gave the update during a call regarding the signing of veteran starter Justin Verlander, according to Slusser. The Giants did meet in person with Roki Sasaki this offseason.

The San Francisco Giants hoped to lure 23-year-old Japanese right-handed pitcher Roki Sasaki to the Bay Area, but they were informed recently that he won't be picking them.

Buster Posey's first season leading the San Francisco Giants' baseball operations has been a busy one. As president of baseball operations, he landed shortstop Willy Adames with the biggest deal in team history at $182 million. “He's a tremendous talent,” Posey said in October. Wednesday is the first day of Major League Baseball's international signing period.

The San Francisco Giants have one of the most reliable aces in baseball with Logan Webb anchoring their rotation. After losing Blake Snell in free agency to the Los Angeles Dodgers, they could certainly use another top-end starter. Jack Flaherty would be an excellent target, especially with his willingness to accept a short-term deal, similar to how the team landed Snell ahead of 2024. The only addition the team has made to the starting rotation thus far this offseason is veteran Justin Verlander, who struggled with staying healthy and effective on the mound this past campaign.

Justin Verlander and the San Francisco Giants finalized a $15 million, one-year contract on Saturday.
