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.

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.

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.

The San Francisco Giants are quietly building a super team.

2023 NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell is still navigating MLB Free Agency. The former San Diego Padres star is still without a team despite rumors surrounding the Houston Astros.

It has been official for months, but seeing the Los Angeles Angels officially fumble the bag and miss the playoffs year after year despite being the team Shohei Ohtani decided to sign with in 2017 remains quite the heartbreaking sight.
