Red Sox summoning righty starter to San Francisco as part of taxi squad
Red Sox right-hander Richard Fitts is on his way to join the club in San Francisco, but that doesn't mean he's. a lock to be activated in the coming days.

Fitts, 25, has a 4.71 ERA in five starts (21 innings) in the majors this year.

MLB rumors: Yankees, Giants monitoring Pirates for trade
The New York Yankees and the San Francisco Giants both appear to be rolling toward the playoffs with plenty of baseball left to play this season, but there is always room for improvement and that is no different with these two.

Giants release former top-100 prospect in reverse decision
Calvin Mitchell was once a top-100 prospect in baseball according to Baseball Prospectus. But the San Francisco Giants don't see a reason to keep him around anymore after what has disappointingly turned into a journeyman career. The Giants didn't even start the season with Mitchell. The White Sox had released him in April, and that's when San Francisco picked him up. But Mitchell hasn't hit at all in in the minor leagues this year, and so now he's a free agent. At 26 years old, the outfielder could still find another team interested in him. He was the 50th overall pick in 2017, and he put up good minor league numbers in the early going.

This might be Giants legend Barry Bonds' craziest stat ever
The back of Barry Bonds' baseball card is full of stats that absolutely boggle the mind. But there's one statistic that you wouldn't find there that might be the craziest of them all. It involves the amount of times Bonds was intentionally walked with first base occupied. Usually, an opponent will use an intentional walk when that base is open. But with Bonds, it didn't matter. The San Francisco Giants slugger put so much fear into the opposition's minds that it made sense to put him on anyway. Bonds was intentionally walked 81 times in his career with first-base occupied, by far the most since 1955, when intentional walks were officially tracked.
