Following a disappointing 2023 season in which they finished with a 79-83 record and fourth in the NL West, the San Francisco Giants enter the 2024 season in desperate need of returning to winning ways and making the postseason for the first time since 2021, when they finished with a mind-boggling 107-55 record and won the division title.

Who is the 36th-best prospect on the Giants farm?
We’ve began the final stretch as we continue to work towards the end of the 2024 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, which will see us ran the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization.
Next up on the list is a serious fan favorite: it’s outfielder Ismael Munguia, who has been voted as the No. 35 prospect in the Giants system. Munguia returns to...
San Francisco Giants PA announcer Renel Brooks-Moon is not returning for the 2024 season. Brooks-Moon and the Giants say it was a mutual decision. The booth at Oracle Park will be named in Moon’s honor in a future home game.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Rain doesn’t fall often during spring training in Arizona. However, the one day it did in mid-March was a day that San Francisco Giants starter Jordan Hicks would have much rather been facing the Oakland A’s than finishing his outing in the bowels of Scottsdale Stadium.

Opening week starter!
Suddenly the San Francisco Giants rotation, while still highly unproven, has significantly fewer question marks. For a while it looked like Alex Cobb would be gone for a few months, while promising youngsters Keaton Winn and Tristan Beck would be sidelined through Opening Day.
That remains true for Beck, but against all odds, Cobb pitched in a Minor League game on Saturday, and now looks slated for an...

Multiple reports point towards the Giants still in on the player — does adding the 2023 NL Cy Young at this point really make the 2024 team better, though?
This winter, I’ve written about Blake Snell way more than I’d ever thought about him previously and if you read through all these articles...

Giants East?
J.D. Davis has found a new home. Scratch that: J.D. Davis has found a new employer; he might be staying in the same home. Roughly a week after being surprisingly waived by the San Francisco Giants — which cost him millions of dollars, thanks to a CBA loophole — Davis agreed to a contract with the Oakland A’s.
Free-agent infielder J.D. Davis and the Oakland A’s are in agreement on a contract, pending physical,...
Believe it or not, a veteran’s stay in free agency did not last long. Around a week after the San Francisco Giants released him, J.D. Davis is signing with the Oakland Athletics, according to.
J.D. Davis won’t have to go very far after his ugly split from the San Francisco Giants.
The 27-year-old is a former first-round pick of the Brewers who came over to the Giants in a trade last month. He only has 10 1/3 innings of major league experience thus far.

Who is the 35th-best prospect on the Giants farm?
After a week-long hiatus so that yours truly could get some time in at Spring Training (where, despite catching just two games, I saw five of the players already ranked on this year’s CPL, plus the player I’m voting for today), the 2024 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List is back in action. We’re officially on the home stretch, with just 10 prospects left until we’ve ranked...

The Giants have tried hard to not build up expectations, but unfortunately for them they have!
Spring brings renewal and hope and so let’s wipe away the pain of the past two seasons, let’s ignore the portents of more misery, and just set an expectation for this season. I think we should expect the San Francisco Giants to win at least 84 games in 2024.
Now, all baseball front offices are programmed to respond to inquires regarding...

The Giants’ lefty reliever battle snaps into focus. Meanwhile, the Giants’ best hitter/leadoff hitter has the type of injury that tends to linger. Unless...
Let’s start with the tremendously great news:
Alex Cobb will throw 2 innings in a minor league game tomorrow, there's a real chance he returns in April at this point. LHP Ethan Small will miss several weeks with an oblique strain; Giants remain pretty light on LH...

To prospect hoard or not to prospect hoard?
Right-handed pitcher Dylan Cease, a graduate with honors from the Blake Snell School of Confusing But Wildly Talented Starting Pitchers, was finally traded on Wednesday after months of speculation. As you probably could have predicted, he signed with Not The San Francisco Giants. As you also probably could have predicted, we were subjected to a rumor that the Giants had gotten just enough in the running to...

And 37 hits is a lot.
Normally the morning thread on a Thursday morning arrives crisply to your web browser at 5AM. Not today! I forgot to schedule anything, and got home late from Spring Training on Wednesday, so decided to let You People™ fend for yourselves for a few hours, like wild animals fighting for scraps. Bryan wrote a lot of delightful words that should have given you a veritable buffet to linger over.
I come bearing no grand...

Reporter Jon Heyman indicates the club was involved in trade talks for the 28-year old who was runner up for AL Cy Young in 2022.
The San Francisco Giants have had a great offseason overall but it hasn’t been without a couple of notable misses along the way. Turns out there’s still enough time on the calendar to add another miss to the list. Per Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Giants were one of the teams in the mix for RHP Dylan Cease until the...

The Giants’ Opening Day roster looks pretty well set now.
The San Francisco Giants have cut 17 players from their Spring Training roster over the past 48 hours, and the latest round really brings into focus the 2024 Opening Day roster. The six removed contained one option and five reassignments.
OF - Wade Meckler (optioned)While his ascendancy hasn’t been as much of a surprise to prospect hounds in the fandom, he’s still been a bit of a fast...
On Saturday, March 9, 2024, it was announced that the San Francisco Giants placed infielder J.D. Davis on waivers after the Matt Chapman signing. The purpose of this move was to clear a roster spot for Chapman alongside some money.
