The San Francisco Giants announced today that they have agreed to terms on a one-year Major League contract with free agent pitcher Pat Venditte.

Former Giants catcher Hector Sanchez leveled an opponent with a vicious right-cross during a benches clearing brawl in a Venezuelan winter league game on Wednesday night.

On Wednesday, Duane Kuiper told KNBR that he expects the Giants to trade one of their left-handed relievers, Tony Watson or Will Smith, in the coming weeks.

The A’s will soon be the only professional sports team in Oakland, and Oakland native Marshawn Lynch wants to make sure they’re not going anywhere.

Aside from today’s news that the club is close to inking a deal with ambidextrous reliever Pat Venditte, the start to the 2019 offseason has been relatively quiet for the Giants, and for the league as a whole.

The Giants ‘are close’ to a deal with a former A’s and Dodgers ambidextrous reliever, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Madison Bumgarner’s fastball has lost some velocity over the past three seasons.

The Giants attended the workout of former Blue Jays shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on Tuesday, and had the “most impressive presence,” according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

The Oakland Raiders don’t currently have a home for next season, but may end up playing across the Bay at AT&T Park, according to a report by Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports.

Word on the street is that new Giants head honcho Farhan Zaidi is looking to add a starting pitcher or two to the rotation this offseason.
