San Francisco Giants

If you’re a sucker for romantic baseball content, late February is probably high on your list of best times of the year. It’s not the Fourth of July, or the depths of October, of course. But something about those first few days of spring training is nostalgic. Even for fan bases with little to no […]

Last off-season, a handful of big name free agents remained unsigned well into February and even into the first few days of March. Even as teams competed in Spring Training games, some of the game’s hottest winter prizes were homeless. One of which was Blake Snell, who infamously missed all of spring training and subsequently […]

It’s easy to get excited for baseball this time of year. Spring training is on the horizon. Rosters are essentially solidified, and the dawn of spring feels nearer than the heart of winter. Even with that natural hope budding, the palpable excitement surrounding the Giants as the first season of the Buster Posey President of […]

The baseball starved can officially say now that we are in the home stretch of a long off-season. In less than a month’s time, the Giants will be playing Spring Training games in Arizona. In just over two weeks, pitchers and catchers will report to Scottsdale Stadium to officially cut the ribbon on the 2025 […]

In just one short month, Scottsdale Stadium and its surrounding facilities will once again be teeming with life as Giants’ pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training for the first season of the Buster Posey POBO era.

The Buster Posey Executive Era is finally putting some miles on its odometer — a general manager hire, a trip to his first-ever GM meetings, a 45-minute closed-door chat with Scott Boras, some signature quotes — and now we can start to take stock a little bit. The verdict: Not bad, Buster.  What are you, […]

The catastrophic inevitable has finally happened for Giants fans. As the sun rises on the morning of Halloween, the Dodgers are World Series Champions. Real world series champions. There’s no angle, no quick retort, nothing Giants fans can say about a shortened season with empty stadiums. This one’s legit. On Friday morning, there will be […]

Photo: Robert Edwards All right, Buster. Whatcha got? Now that the visceral part of satisfying dissatisfied Giants fans is over— Buster Posey! Running the Giants! Really! Buster Posey! — there remains the matter of just exactly what the new president of baseball operations is, you know, *actually going to do.* I mean, don’t get me […]

As the morning sun rose and cascaded its golden rays over a nearly entirely vacant Oracle Park on Tuesday morning, it brought with it a new era of Giants baseball. The first sunlight of October doesn’t bring playoff baseball like millions of Giants fans hoped it would at the beginning of a once promising 2024 […]
