Proposed Giants Trade With Diamondbacks Would Provide Steady First Base Fix
The San Francisco Giants need a new answer at first base, for now, and should be monitoring the trade market as the deadline continues to get closer. One potential answer could be revealing himself as the Arizona Diamondbacks steer towards becoming sellers. The Diamondbacks are already six games out of a Wild Card spot and have virtually no chance in the NL West, not to mention the fact that they just lost their $210 million ace for the year in Corbin Burnes. The Giants should approach Arizona with an offer of right-handed pitcher Trevor McDonald and infielder Robert Hipwell for first baseman Josh Naylor.

How new SF Giant Dominic Smith fixed his approach with a blast from his SoCal past
Dominic Smith could only laugh at what he was seeing. It was May 2024, and Smith had just signed with the Boston Red Sox when he met with hitting coach Peter Fatse to review film. Fatse didn't believe Smith was maximizing his athleticism in the batter's box, so he combed through Smith's old footage to find examples of Smith doing so. Fatse didn't show Smith videos from 2020, the year that Smith earned MVP votes.

Could San Francisco Giants Solve Massive Issue with Trade For Orioles Slugger?

Struggling San Fransisco Giants Slugger Won't Reach Important Goal
When the San Francisco Giants signed shortstop Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182 million contract, they thought they had found much-needed stability in the role.

Randy Rodriguez is having a breakout campaign, putting together a historic May. Camilo Doval has reclaimed the closer's role and is looking like the All-Star version of himself from 2023. Tyler Rogers remains as reliable a workhorse as there is in baseball and deserves some All-Star recognition.
