San Francisco Giants

Matt Cain, a brand new bullpen and a World Baseball Classic – Brian Murphy offers up his top three storylines heading in to the San Francisco Giants 2017 spring training.

The three-time All-Star has a $20 million salary in the final guaranteed season of a $127.5 million, six-year contract.

Word of Duane Kuiper’s comments concerning Sergio Romo becoming a Dodger this offseason clearly reached the 3-time World Series reliever. Romo felt so strongly about them, he decided to write Paulie Mac a number of text messages to refute that he has anything but love for the Orange and Black.

Four-time World Series champion, and former member of the Giants core four, Javier Lopez announced his retirement to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports on Wednesday.

To see Romo in Dodger blue will break the heart of many Giants fans, including broadcaster Duane Kuiper, who told Murph and Mac on Wednesday morning that while he has no problem with Romo signing wherever he wants, it will be hard with him gone.

The San Francisco Giants have elected to bring back veteran infielder Gordon Beckham on a minor league deal according to a report from Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

After helping the Giants win three World Series titles over the past decade, Sergio Romo is joining the enemy. Romo has agreed to a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers for next season, as first reported by Jon Morosi of MLB Network.

The San Francisco Giants officially announced the players and coaches that will be in attendance for KNBR/Giants FanFest at AT&T Park next Saturday.

Just a week and a half before pitchers and catchers are slated to report for Spring Training, former Giants reliever Sergio Romo remains a free agent. That may change soon, however, with Romo currently deciding between joining his long-time rival Los Angeles Dodgers, or a second, unidentified team, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.

On paper, the 2017 San Francisco Giants look to be in pretty good shape. After finishing the 2016 campaign one out away from an elimination game with the Cubs in the NLDS, the Giants addressed their biggest need in the offseason, signing star closer Mark Melancon to a multi-year deal.
