Slowly but surely, the orange and black are getting their feet wet in the cactus league spring sun. SF has […]

As the calendar turns to March, the Scottsdale Giants are well into their Cactus League slate. Position battles, auditions of young layers, and last gasps at big league residency for proven minor leaguers are well underway.  One of the premiere headlines of the Spring has been the return of Jung Hoo Lee, who missed the […]

At long last, Giants baseball games are back.

Last off-season, a handful of big name free agents remained unsigned well into February and even into the first few days of March.

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.
