Why Giants betting on Lewis Brinson, ex-top prospect, Farhan Zaidi explains

Farhan Zaidi is the Giants' president of baseball operations. He explains why San Francisco traded for Lewis Brinson on Thursday's episode of the "Tolbert & Copes Podcast".

Farhan Zaidi explains why Giants traded for Lewis Brinson. Austin Slater's finger injury forced them to look for reinforcements. Brison has been playing for the Houston Astros' Triple-A affiliate this year. He has 25 home runs and 105 RBI in 341 games for Miami Marlins and Milwaukee Brewers. He made his MLB debut in 2017. San Francisco's organization likes to bet on minor league players. They want to keep giving them chances. If they perform well, they might have new faces to help them in their quest for World Series glory next year, as Zayadi says. The organization also likes giving players who have been passed over by other clubs a chance.

Examining Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jung Hoo Lee, Shota Imanaga’s Giants fit

The Giants will leave no stone unturned in search of significant upgrades to their roster this offseason and likely will be all-in on just about every top-of-the-market free agent. San Francisco's two biggest needs, outside of two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani, are top-of-the-rotation starting pitching and an upgrade in center field. While the Giants…

SF Giants offseason questions: Shohei Ohtani and Matt Chapman

It's the time of the year where life is both incredibly quiet and wildly hectic for the San Francisco Giants, and all of baseball, really. There are rumors, ideas, speculation, and momentum flying around, but nothing is really happening. That's when the questions start to pop up, so it seemed like a good time for a mailbag (or two!). Thanks…

SF Giants questions about Shohei Ohtani, Gabe Kapler, and Farhan Zaidi

Last week I put a call out for my very first San Francisco Giants mailbag. The Giants had just lost six games in a row, and I got so many questions that, even being selective with the ones I took, I ended up with two massive mailbags. Yesterday I put the call out again, only this time the Giants had won five of their last six games, and the result…

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Giants hoped Thursday's off-day would help them reset and build some positive momentum ahead of the All-Star break, but the club once again fell flat in a 5-2 loss to the last-place Rockies on Friday night at Oracle Park. San Francisco's slumping offense didn't show much fight against Colorado left-hander Austin Gomber, who…

It has been said that Saint Patrick taught the concept of Christianity to the pagans of San Francisco by using a shamrock to explain the holy trinity. Back in those days, the trinity was Barry Bonds, Jeff Kent, and Jason Schmidt. But it's 2023 now, and the San Francisco Giants have an entirely different roster. With today being St. Patrick's Day…

Are the Giants setup to land Shohei Ohtani next offseason?

After striking out on Aaron Judge, Brandon Nimmo, and Kodai Senga, the one word that will probably be used to describe this offseason for the San Francisco Giants come March is "failure." That is unless they make a couple of big moves as the offseason calendar flips from 2022 to 2023. Not just to improve their chances of competing for the third…

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…

We've heard the Aaron Judge to the Giants rumors by now, but this one is a little more definitive.

Joc Pederson on out-of-the-hunt September: ‘Not fun’

Much of Joc Pederson's 2022 campaign has been sweet. He earned his second All-Star selection, and first since 2015. He's hit 23 homers, his most since 2019. He got to perform near his native Palo Alto and spend more time with his family. But the second half of this season has clearly left the outfielder salty. For the first time in his nine-year…

Why fears of ‘widespread regression’ in Giants’ farm system are overblown

One of the many oddities about this San Francisco Giants season is the idea that somehow the minor-league system has regressed, or that prospects aren't developing as they should. Perhaps that's a function of a few high-profile players having down years - Heliot Ramos and Luis Matos among them - or the Nationals preferring the Padres' offerings for…

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - New San Francisco Giants infielder Matt Chapman will be perfectly honest with you. He had no idea free agency would play out like this. Neither did veteran agent Scott Boras. They expected to sign much earlier than the first week of March, and for a lot more than the three-year, $54 million contract he received. You don't turn…
