Which means someone is leaving.
A few days ago, with news that Alex Cobb would be moved to the 60-Day Injured List while he works his way through a few rehab setbacks, it was announced that the San Francisco Giants traded some sweet cash money to the Toronto Blue Jays for right-handed pitcher Mitch White, who had been designated for assignment.
I recommend reading Bryan’s analysis on White, but the TL;DR is this: White was once a top prospect...

*Offer not valid in the 9th inning.
Monday’s game between the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets started out in ... well ... fashion. Let’s call it fashion. That’s what I wrote in my notes: just “fashion.”
Had the Giants lost, it would have been “ominous fashion.” Had the Giants won — a silly thing to pose as a hypothetical, seeing as how they did, in fact, win — it seemed likely to be “encouraging fashion.”
Now...

Keaton Winn vs. José Quintana.
After splitting a four-game set with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the San Francisco Giants will try once again to notch their first home series victory of the year. This time it’s against the New York Mets, a trending upwards team that has headed to the Bay Area for a three-game set that begins tonight.
The Giants have a slightly adjusted roster for the Mets, as right-handed reliever Luke Jackson — who was...

The Giants and Mets are playing the opposite of expectiations — is this 3-game series a pivot point or a continuation of the trend?
This is supposed to be a step back season for the Mets, and yet here they are in a bit of an April surge that’s going to give their fans hope. This is supposed to be a step forward season for the San Francisco Giants and yet here they are in a bit of an April “Well, what did you expect? The plan was always to be...

There’s a long way to go in the season, but the catcher has had a great start to his.
I am publishing this knowing full well that I’ve likely condemned him to a tough series, so apologies to Patrick Bailey and his agent, but the truth is that the 24-year old catcher is currently the best player on the San Francisco Giants.
NERD: Um, small sample size, normie?
ME: Enjoy your lonely existence, nerd! I’m vibing.
The Bailey vibes are...

The Giants bullpen gets a badly needed boost as they’ll face a tough lineup over the next few games.
The San Francisco Giants have activated RHP Luke Jackson ahead of their series against the powerhouse New York Mets. This is welcome news because the bullpen has been bad.
The team’s 5.56 ERA is 29th in MLB. Only Philadelphia has been worse in the early part of the season (5.78). Thankfully, they’ve thrown just 77.2 innings, 21st in MLB. So,...

The NL West is tightly clustered.
There’s no hiding the fact that it hasn’t been the start to the season that the San Francisco Giants envisioned. It’s been a fairly brutal schedule, but even so, the sloppy play, hide-and-seek offense, and inconsistent pitching have led to a 10-13 record that no one in the organization — nor any fan — is stoked about.
And yet, despite it all, the Giants find themselves right in the thick of the NL West standings....

But I know it’s not really Stu’s fault...
I learned an umpire’s name today.
The umpire’s name is Stu.
This is Stu.
Stu made a call that made a fair amount of people cranky, and when those people let Stu know how cranky they were, he doubled down. Stu got defensive. Stu got feisty.
With years of elementary education instruction under my belt, more often than not, the feistiest and most defensive 8-year old is the 8-year old who made the...

Jordan Hicks vs. Merrill Kelly
The San Francisco Giants wrap up this series against the Arizona Diamondbacks today at Oracle Park.
Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Jordan Hicks, who has been off to a great start this season. He enters today’s game with a 1.57 ERA, 3.11 FIP, with 18 strikeouts to six walks in 23 innings. His last start was in the Giants’ 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, in which he allowed two runs on...
Continuing his rough start in a San Francisco Giants uniform, two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell was crushed by the Arizona Diamondbacks Friday night.
The San Francisco Giants, bouncing back Saturday after a 17-1 loss on Friday, will try to win the four-game series with the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks when the teams meet Sunday afternoon.

The Bay Area native and former Dodger joins the 40-man roster to buttress a key pivot point with the pitching staff.
Let’s start with the good news about this early evening’s transaction for the San Francisco Giants. There’s a new right-handed pitcher on the 40-man roster:
The Giants acquired right-hander Mitch White from Toronto for cash and transferred Alex Cobb to the 60-day IL. Cobb's recent elbow and shoulder setbacks made it...
The San Francisco Giants have acquired pitcher Mitch White from the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations. Toronto designated White for assignment earlier in the week and had several days to trade him, lose him on waivers, or pass him through and send him to the minors.
Patrick Bailey came close to hitting for the cycle with his four hits in the San Francisco Giants' 7-3 victory Saturday over the Arizona Diamondbacks. Bailey, who went 4 for 4 with three RBIs, had recorded a single, double and home run when he went to the plate in the seventh inning.

Kyle Harrison vs. Zac Gallen
The San Francisco Giants take on the Arizona Diamondbacks in game three of this four-game series today at Oracle Park.
Taking the mound for the Giants will be left-hander Kyle Harrison, who enters today’s game with a 4.70 ERA, 5.02 FIP, with 19 strikeouts to four walks in 23 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 4-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday, in which he allowed three runs on eight hits...

Blake Snell is still on the runway
Three starts in, and Blake Snell is still on the runway, still waiting to take off. The passengers along for the ride are clearly starting to fidget: no legroom, no food and drink service, pricey wifi, the seatbelt sign cruelly lit. Every jolt forward or announcement from the cockpit met with hope—this is a sign, we’re about to get moving. And just as quickly: vague updates from the pilot promising progress easily boggled...

Now that’s a sentence you don’t write every day.
Good morning, baseball fans!
I’ve got a truly bizarre story for you today, involving former San Francisco Giants coach Hensley “Bam Bam” Meulens.
Meulens, now the hitting coach for the Colorado Rockies, posted a (now deleted) video on Instagram of himself sitting in the captain’s seat of the cockpit on the Rockies’ plane while it was in flight. In a recovered clip of the...
