FWIW I think the Giants put together a pretty strong offer for CJ Abrams. Not sure what the exact offer was, but with the names mentioned, I feel like they would be giving up more value in exchange for 3 years of CJ Abrams, who probably will become a good second baseman...

Really good breakdown of the #SFGiants farm system from Baseball America (about 10 days ago):
-Josh Norris described the year-over-year improvement as "it’s not just night and day. It’s shortest day of the year versus longest day of the year.”

I peg Gonzalez+Davidson+Level+ Bresnahan+Whisenhunt at ~15 WAR in value. Abrams has three years of control left. Might get 9-10 WAR out of him, 12 at high end. So, accounting for $20M/3y, 7-10 surplus WAR. Suggested trade is a major overpay on paper imo. www.nytimes.com/athletic/699...

BA ranks Eldridge, Gonzalez, Davidson, and Level in top 100. Not sure exactly how BA thinks about it, but to me it suggests BA would not trade Jhonny Level or Bo Davidson, or anyone in ~75-100 range, for Luis Hernandez. Not sure I agree.

Not terribly surprising, but Hunter Pence did not reach the 5-percent threshold needed to remain on next year's ballot. Still a great career and a popular player among Giants fans.

Carlos Beltrán will likely be elected to the Hall of Fame later today. He will join Jeff Kent for the 2026 class, and it will mark the first class to include a Giants player since Randy Johnson was elected in 2015. There should be a few more to follow in 2027.

For the most part, it has been a gap decade for the SF Giants. However, the moves they have made this offseason do not align with a team that plans to compete f

This is total defense now. Hard to ignore how the Giants' starters all had below-average defense behind them when they were on the mound. This is not what you want to see from a team that believes its identity is pitching and defense.

Below is how the Giants' infield defense performed among qualified pitchers. I know there were some defensive miscues when Justin Verlander and Landen Roupp were on the mound, but I did not expect to see how extreme it was for them.

No qualified Giants pitcher benefited from the Giants' outfield defense in 2025. Despite this, they are pretty much returning (currently) the same group in 2026.

I don’t want to spoil the new 28 Years Later movie but early in the movie, an older lady screamed, “What movie are we watching?! I’m gonna have nightmares.”
She walked out with her friend shortly thereafter while saying, “If I have nightmares, this is your fault!”

Here’s the 2026 San Jose Giants coaching staff.
Mike Marjama was the Triple-A hitting coach for the National Championship Jacksonville team last year.
The #SFGiants have decided to place him at Low-A San Jose, where he is going to work with a very exciting group of young prospects.
Interesting.
