Santiago Casilla

After a heated meeting between the San Francisco Giants and Oakland A’s on Monday, Mike Krukow identified the origin of this tension as Santiago Casilla.

With the bases loaded and the game on the line in the bottom of the ninth inning on Friday evening, the Giants were staring down a situation they’ve faced far too often over the past two seasons.

It’s the end of an era, as Santiago Casilla heads across the bay to pitch for the Oakland Athletics. Ray Woodson dropped by the Digital Lounge to talk about his legacy as a Giant.

The Oakland A’s are close to signing the former Giants relief pitcher to a two-year deal according to Robert Murphy of FanRag Sports.

Free agent relievers Javier Lopez, Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla will have to look for jobs elsewhere this offseason, with the San Francisco Giants not interested in bringing any of the three back according to Alex Pavlovic of CSN Bay Area.

How San Francisco plans on doing this exactly remains to be seen, with Evans saying the club will exhaust every option in free agency, via trade or internal.

For the first time in seven years, the San Francisco Giants enter consecutive offseasons without a championship ring. Despite making a number of notable free agent singings in 2016, the Giants fell short of their goal, due in large part to a number of aging veterans regressing and bullpen issues that would ultimately lead to […]

Santiago Casilla lost his job as the San Francisco Giants’ closer after blowing a league leading nine saves in 2016. That might have something to do with manager Bruce Bochy’s decision not to turn to the 13-year-veteran during last night’s disastrous ninth-inning meltdown.

The San Francisco Giants bullpen struggles in 2016 have been well documented. But ex-Giant Kevin Frandsen says after a couple good weeks of solid play from Sergio Romo and Will Smith, fans can expect Bochy to run with the two relievers for the rest of the season.

The Giants may not have a strong closing option on their roster right now, but someone will have to step up in late game situations for the postseason to remain a possibility.
