“It’s one of the most shocking trades I can remember in baseball.”

It has been a fantastic start to the season for the San Francisco Giants, who have emerged early on as one of the best surprises in baseball. This team was largely predicted to come in fourth place in the extremely difficult National League West.

After losing their weekend series in LA, the Giants appear to be setup to lose their last remaining advantage in the rivalry.

Justin Verlander’s next chance for his first win with the Giants is slated for Wednesday night. The three-time Cy Young Award winner is listed as the Giants’ probable pitcher for the middle game of a three-game series against the Cleveland Guardians at Oracle Park. Verlander, 42, went on the injured list on May 22 with […]

It has been a fantastic start to the season for the San Francisco Giants, who have emerged early on as one of the best surprises in baseball. This team was largely predicted to come in fourth place in the extremely difficult National League West.

The San Francisco Giants have had an odd year at first base. The Giants then signed veteran journeyman Dominic Smith to fill the role and he slashed .367/.382/.533 in just 30 plate appearances. Wilmer Flores has handled the designated hitter position but can play first base.

But is it actually that much of a conspiracy?

SFGATE columnist Dave Tobener still can’t believe the Giants dealt for Rafael Devers.

At approximately 5:18 p.m. PST, Joey Lucchesi emerged from the visiting bullpen doors at Dodger Stadium and jogged out to the mound for his season debut. When the funky-throwing lefty delivered his first pitch of the night, the Giants had yet to announce that Lucchesi was officially on the roster. It was not until 5:45 […]

What makes the 2025 Giants Buster Posey’s team? Posey’s bold, brash, and perhaps even reckless trade for three-time All-Star slugger Rafael Devers on Sunday is a big black-and-orange stamp from the new director of baseball operations on the Giants organization. The trade also made a statement to the fanbase and the rest of baseball: The […]

The 2025 MLB season has its first blockbuster trade.

LOS ANGELES — – Andy Pages hit a game-turning three-run home run in the fifth inning, Shohei Ohtani had three hits and scored two runs, and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 on Sunday night. The Dodgers trailed 3-2 when Ohtani and Mookie Betts singled to open the fifth. Freddie Freeman […]

“Blockbuster mid-June trade” is almost an oxymoron in Major League Baseball. The Giants have been rebuffed in both trade and free agent negotiations over the past decade by (deep breath) Jon Lester, Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Carlos Correa’s right fibula and who knows how many more we may not know about.

Andy Pages hits a three-run home run and the Dodgers get just enough from Dustin May and their bullpen to hang on for a 5-4 win over rival San Francisco.
