San Francisco Giants News

With the Warriors just about two years away from moving into their new home in San Francisco, the team is beginning its rollout of plans for season ticket sales.

Former MLB general manager Jim Bowden told The Audible Wednesday that he thinks the Giants will really struggle to find any value for their depreciating assets before the trade deadline.

The morning after Eduardo Nunez smoked a walkoff single through the right side of the infield to propel San Francisco to a 2-1 win over Cleveland, Nunez was out of the Giants’ lineup while trade rumors involving the 30-year-old third baseman swirled.

Pablo Sandoval’s exit from the Giants following the 2014 season is notorious for many reasons, but particularly because he blasted former teammates and severed relationships on his way out of town.

Much like the San Francisco Giants and their other minor league affiliates, 2017 has not been kind to the Sacramento River Cats. Currently, the team sits in last place in the Pacific Coast League’s Northern Division due in large part to the struggles of their starting rotation.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Nunez has been made available by San Francisco, and the Boston Red Sox are among the teams with an eye on him.

Count manager Bruce Bochy as one person who believes in what this team can do. On Murph & Mac Wednesday morning, Bochy addressed the big-picture status of his squad, and he said he has faith that just some minor tweaks could put the Giants right back in contention next year.

Pitching –in the form of great arms like Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Bumgarner– and defense –from the likes of Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford and Joe Panik– has helped carry San Francisco to three World Series titles.

Ty Blach is continuing to earn the trust of his coaching staff, as exemplified by his gutsy performance in the Giants’ 2-1 win over Cleveland on Tuesday night.

A night after it was San Francisco’s defense that stood in the way of a potential series-opening victory against the Cleveland Indians, a pair of late-game web gems kept the Giants in contention.
