After swinging a trade for left-hander Robbie Ray, the San Francisco Giants might still be searching for starting pitching.

For many different reasons, 2023 was a rough year for Tim Anderson.

Well, it’s not really his fault though, as the prospect pitcher was reportedly robbed at gunpoint. However, he’s okay as he attended a bullpen session immediately after the incident. Cumming was grabbing some breakfast at […]

Only one team was going to be the lucky one to land former Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani.

Shohei Ohtani was one those rare free agents that would make an MLB team do whatever it took just to secure his services. After all, Ohtani is one of a kind, as he is elite both at the plate and on the mound when healthy. Thus, it certainly was disappointing to the team that lost […]

The San Francisco Giants were not outbid by the Los Angeles Dodgers for Shohei Ohtani. They were simply passed over.
