San Francisco Giants

While making an appearance on KNBR’s Hot Stove, Crawford gave his due credits to those who helped him along in his major league career, specifically Jose Alguacil and Ron Wotus.

For the fourth time in his career, Buster Posey has been voted as the best offensive catcher in the National League, and was awarded the 2017 Silver Slugger on Thursday afternoon. Posey also won the award in 2012, 2014 and 2015, and now joins Barry Bonds as the only players in Giants history to have won the award at least four times. Posey, 30, has a long way to go to match Bonds’ nine with San Francisco.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today and MLB Network said on KNBR two weeks ago that the San Francisco Giants are the heavy favorites to land Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton this offseason.

Of all the people to throw shade at the San Francisco Giants, the last person you’d expect to do so would be Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek.

Early Thursday morning, the Giants came to terms with Rich Schu, formerly a member of the Washington Nationals coaching staff, as the assistant hitting coach.

The San Francisco Giants front office said they have to take a creative approach to building their roster this offseason, and they’re more likely to do that through trades. Take a look at five trade candidates that address the team’s problems.

Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow praised the decision to bring back Sandoval when he joined Murph & Mac on Monday morning, but said he also expects the team to sign an everyday third-baseman this offseason.

Trading for Giancarlo Stanton would be one of the biggest risks the franchise has ever taken, but considering the style of play seen across baseball and in the World Series, it might be a risk the Giants have to take.

In the coming days, the Giants are expected to officially announce the hire of Powell to replace Hensley Meulens as the team’s hitting coach, a clear declaration that San Francisco intends to embrace the world of analytics.

With the World Series concluding Wednesday night, four Giants officially became unrestricted free agents on Thursday.
