As the Giants prepare for their first Spring Training game, new pitching coach Curt Young shares his thoughts on the team’s young pitching talents with Murph & Mac on Friday morning.
After taking in Tim Lincecum’s pitching showcase on Thursday, the Giants reportedly didn’t deny the possibility of a reunion with their former two-time Cy Young Award-winning pitcher.
Since getting promoted from general manager to Executive VP of Baseball Operations, Brian Sabean hasn’t been involved in the day-to-day operations of the major league club since 2015. That’s going to change this season according to a report from Andrew Baggarly of the The Athletic, who writes that Sabean will reassume a more hands on role with the club, after the team’s atrocious 98-loss season in 2017.
After reporting that the Giants are interested in free agent reliever Tony Watson, USA Today’s Bob Nightengale joined Gary & Larry on Wednesday afternoon to discuss how the left-handed would fit in San Francisco.
The decision for the Giants to bring back Pablo Sandoval midway through the 2017 season was a somewhat shocking one, considering both the way he left the club, and his massive struggles during his time in Boston. Sandoval ended up playing in 47 games for the Giants last season, and wasn’t great, finishing with a .638 OPS, after getting off to a hot start.
A day after reporting with his fellow pitchers and catchers to Spring Training, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reported that Johnny Cueto’s mound work will be delayed due to illness.
After making several trades this offseason, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle didn’t rule out the possibility that the Giants could trade one of their young pitchers for a starting centerfielder on Tolbert & Lund Tuesday afternoon.
