There is not much hope for the San Francisco Giants to reach the postseason. Bob Melvin does not quite have the firepower on defense to rival NL West squads like the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and Arizona Diamondbacks. So, it looks like a lot of teams are looking at an angle to pick […]

The San Francisco Giants have not played their best baseball to this point in the season. The Giants are in fourth place in the National League West, 9 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers as they get set to resume competition following the All-Star break. In addition to trailing the Dodgers, the Giants are […]

The San Francisco Giants handed reigning NL Cy Young winner Blake Snell a two-year, $62 million contract towards the end of spring training, which means the lefty didn’t actually get to face big league hitters in Cactus League action. Snell and Jordan Montgomery, who signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks, both didn’t pitch in spring training. […]

Injury ravaged and depleted, the San Francisco Giants have done their best to weather the first half of the season. As the MLB trade deadline approaches, their own star players returning from injury could serve as vital reinforcements for a second half run. In that best case scenario for San Fran, quality under-the-radar additions would […]

Blake Snell has been unavailable due to injury after being placed on the Injured List in late April. However, it sounds like the veteran pitcher is nearing a return to the San Francisco Giants‘ rotation, alongside a couple of other teammates as well.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are 29-33 on the season after a 9-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday that saw starter Jordan Montgomery get chased after just two innings of work. The Diamondbacks’ starter is now dealing with the fallout from the resulting boos amid the team’s frustrating start. Recently, Montgomery and fellow starter […]

San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell has had a rough go of it so far in the 2024 MLB season.

It has been a rough 2024 season thus far for the reigning NL Cy Young award winner, Blake Snell, and things don’t seem to be getting any better for the 31-year old lefty. Following his Sunday night start in a 7-5 loss for his San Francisco Giants against the surging New York Yankees, Snell re-aggravated […]

San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell just couldn’t catch a break in the 2024 MLB season.

Two of the bigger free agents this past offseason were Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery, and both of them signed very late in spring training with the San Francisco Giants and Arizona Diamondbacks, limiting the time they had to get ready for the season, and both of them are citing that as why they have […]

The San Francisco Giants signed starting pitcher Blake Snell to a two-year, $62 million contract in free agency, but before the Giants landed him, the Los Angeles Dodgers apparently tried to steal him away in the midnight hour. The Dodgers had already spent inordinate amounts of money during an offseason that was highlighted by the […]

After a flashy offseason, the 2024 San Francisco Giants have yet to really hit their stride. Though they are far from buried in the National League standings, their 25-26 record has to be considered a disappointment. Any hopes of competing with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division are basically kaput and now, they’re in […]

The San Francisco Giants currently hold a 17-23 record. As a result, they are fourth in the National League West division.

Blake Snell, who has recorded a lackluster 11.57 ERA across three starts thus far with the San Francisco Giants in 2024, is reportedly being placed on the 15-day IL, the team announced.

On Friday night at Oracle Park, nestled along the shores of the San Francisco Bay, the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants will play the second of a four-game series in mid-April.

The San Francisco Giants put together a strong body of work over the offseason, but they waited until right before the start of the 2024 campaign to make their biggest signing of them all in the reigning National League Cy Young winner Blake Snell.

While some big names flew off the market in MLB free agency this past offseason, that wasn’t the case for everyone, and one guy who endured a very lengthy free agency was Blake Snell. The reigning National League Cy Young winner eventually signed a two-year, $62 million contract with the San Francisco Giants, but he […]

The San Francisco Giants narrowly missed the playoffs in 2023. San Francisco had a successful offseason for the most part, though, and they could make some noise in 2024. Of course, the Los Angeles Dodgers had one of the best offseasons in recent memory so winning the National League West is going to be difficult. […]

The San Francisco Giants are quietly building a super team.

Blake Snell is a member of the San Francisco Giants, but it took nearly six months after his last start (coincidentally against the Giants) to ink a deal.

It’s been a while since the San Francisco Giants made the playoffs. Coming up short in the past two years, the front office has shown how hungry they are in the recent offseason. The team landed new faces such as Jorge Soler, Matt Chapman and Jung Hoo Lee. And just on Monday, the team added […]

Scott Boras did not have a great offseason.

All three players entered MLB free agency likely expecting to land lucrative long-term deals. Instead, each player […]

Blake Snell and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a two-year, $62 million contract on Monday night. The deal followed a long free agency for the reigning National League Cy Young winner.
