The bottom line is that the LIV players are not earning any OWGR points and plummeting in the world rankings as a result. Fair or unfair? OWGR ranking points are important, because a player's position in the rankings is used to determine qualification for some important events. The Masters, for instance, uses the OWGR points list to invite the top…

Al MVP 2022 Aaron Judge is currently a free agent, and which team is he going to land is still the biggest question in the MLB world. Notably, the Yankees are not the only team in the race to land Judge on their team. National League's San Francisco Giants is one of the top running teams who want Judge to sign for them. Last week, Judge reportedly…

OAKLAND - The last time Brandon Crawford was fully healthy, the Giants were still in the thick of a playoff race. It has been more than six weeks since Crawford banged his left knee sliding into home plate in Atlanta. Coming in the middle of an ultracompetitive series with the reigning champs, before it became clear Crawford would require not one…

The San Francisco Giants and New York Mets were originally scheduled to open their series on Monday, but that game was postponed due to rain. The Giants will instead be looking to extend their five-game winning streak on Tuesday afternoon before these teams meet again later in the day. New York is in excellent form to open the season as well,…

Bryan Reynolds, an All-Star center fielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates, made a formal trade request earlier this month after the two parties were unable to come to terms on an extension. Here, the Pirates hold the most sway. Reynolds' contract will be managed by the team, and they don't appear to be interested in trading him. Far before Reynolds…

Carlos Correa bet on himself last season when he signed what turned out to be a one-year deal with the Twins. He was right to want to test the free agent market again, because the Giants are now betting three times the Arizona Diamondbacks' entire 2022 payroll that Correa is the man it needs in the middle of its lineup for the next decade-plus. And…

SAN FRANCISCO - Quietly Tuesday, one of the most important days in recent San Francisco Giants history played out behind closed doors and tinted windows. Aaron Judge was in town. Three weeks into free agency, a few days before Thanksgiving, presumably on a stopover on the slugger's way home to small Linden, about two hours east, for the holiday, it…

The Rule 5 Draft allows teams to poach certain minor leaguers from opposing organizations each year. The caveat is that the player they select must remain on the MLB roster for the entirety of the following season. If they are ever optioned or designated for assignment, they must be offered back to their original team. With the draft scheduled for…

An NL West contest features the Los Angeles Dodgers (71-33) traveling to play the San Francisco Giants (51-54) on Thursday to round out their four-game series. Los Angeles has been playing extremely well, winning seven of their last eight games. Meanwhile, San Francisco has struggled during the second half of the season as it is 0-7 against Los…

SAN DIEGO - Speaking with reporters before a recent game, Giants manager Gabe Kapler raised some eyebrows with one particular assessment of his club. It wasn't his plea for better energy, nor was it any indictment of their poor play. "It's a different group of guys," Kapler said, referring to the 2022 team versus the one that won 107 games a year…

The San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers start a quick two-game series on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. Just half a game separates these two, so this early-season matchup already has significant ramifications. The 14-8 Giants travel to LA after losing two of three in their previous series against the Nationals. The Giants' pitching staff…

Free agency is upon us. Or at least it's hovering above us, the circling vulture to our slowly dying, soon to be rotted carcass of a baseball season. Soon the San Francisco Giants will do things. Those things might be actual things, like signing baseball players. Or those things might be the absence of things, like not signing baseball…

Championship Series - San Diego Padres v Philadelphia Phillies - Game Four / Michael Reaves/GettyImages Target #2: Sean Manaea SF Giants fans may be familiar with Sean Manaea from his time with the cross-bay rival Oakland A's as well as his most recent stint with the San Diego Padres. Manaea falls into a middle tier of pitchers that the Giants…

The Mets' playoff picture took a downward turn on Tuesday night as the Braves clinched the NL East and sent New York to the Wild Card round. Mets' world series odds also took a hit, with the Braves now ahead of them across sportsbooks. But don't worry New York fans, we didn't go down without a fight. The Mets (101-61) finished the regular season…

For the first time in over a decade, the SF Giants could begin next season without a familiar face at first base. According to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, the Giants are "not expected to push for a reunion" with longtime first baseman Brandon Belt. This quote could be interpreted in a few different ways. The first way is that San…

2. Not tinkering with the bullpen sooner The Giants bullpen led baseball with a 2,99 ERA in 2021 and they returned nearly every reliever for the 2022 season. However, betting on stability and continuity proved to be the wrong choice for the most volatile area on the roster. The 2022 bullpen has posted a 4.03 ERA, which ranks near the middle of the…

I feel a little bit icky doing a postseason speculation post when the San Francisco Giants are still in playoff contention (lol), but yesterday for The Athletic, somebody suggested they trade Camilo Doval to supercharge the rebuild. Well, I had a post in my brain queue that was along those same lines, only about J.D. Davis! So, I'm writing it now,…
