San Francisco Giants News

Giants fans can will feel at least a little better about Pablo Sandoval’s signing knowing that the first thing he did after putting pen to ink was head back to his old stomping grounds: The AT&T Park batting cages next to the Giants dugout.

While the news may have been coming for a few days now (and even longer if you believed the rumors as of one week ago), it’s now official that third baseman Pablo Sandoval is returning to the San Francisco Giants.

Jeff Samardzija’s had his ups and downs throughout his career, but regardless of where he’s been, the Giants’ right-hander has built a reputation for going deep into ballgames

For Major League teams hoping to find a third baseman at the trade deadline, the Giants’ Eduardo Nunez continues to make his case that he belongs on a contender.

For the better part of the decade, there’s been a certain aura around AT&T Park when Madison Bumgarner starts. It’s the same type of energy that surrounded Tim Lincecum at the height of his career, and Barry Bonds in late-game at-bats.

In a game in which he was the starting pitcher, the Giants lost. At the end of the day, that’s all that really concerns Madison Bumgarner. Even though things didn’t go the way he had hoped in the Giants 5-2 loss to the San Diego Padres, the Giants’ ace knows that there’s nothing else he […]
