| 10 Apr 2025 | GIANTS POSTCAST: Mike Yastrzemski WALKS IT OFF as Giants Rally for HUGE Comeback Win | 00:20:59 | |
The San Francisco Giants narrowly avoided the sweep by the Cincinnati Reds today as Mike Yastrzemski put one into McCovey Cove for the walk-off win. The San Francisco Giants offense rallied for a four-run 6th inning, scoring all of their runs with two outs on the board, and Wilmer Flores launched his league-leading 5th home run of the season in the 8th to tie it up. Justin Verlander had a rough 3rd inning as he gave up five runs, putting the San Francisco Giants in a hole early on. The offense woke up finally, but is Justin Verlander's slow start to the season a big concern?

| 14 May 2024 | POSTCAST: Giants Can't Hold Dodgers Down as they Fall in Extra Innings | 00:32:48 | |
After yesterday's walk-off win, the San Francisco Giants had another shot at extra-innings heroics today, but couldn't get it done against the Los Angeles Dodgers as they fell 6-4 at Oracle Park. It was another invasion at 3rd and King as Oracle Park was filled with Dodger blue, with scattered speckles of black and orange. Jordan Hicks pitched well, holding the Los Angeles Dodgers to just two runs over five innings of work. The youth did show some positive signs, as Heliot Ramos and Luis Matos accounted for all four of the San Francisco Giants RBI's tonight.

| 30 Jul 2024 | SF Giants Prepare for Final Face-Off with "Oakland" A’s in SF as Trade Deadline Nears | 00:31:27 | |
With today's 3 PM PT trade deadline looming, the San Francisco Giants have already made a significant splash, sending Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson to the Atlanta Braves. After the deadline has passed, Locked On Giants will publush a full episode breaking down all of the Giants' activity (and potential non-activity), but today's episode focuses on the "Oakland" A's coming to San Francisco for the last time ever. The A's are set to move to Sacramento for a few years before finally relocating to Las Vegas. They come into town to face a Giants team that will be looking to keep its momentum going after sweeping the Rockies in dominant fashion over the weekend. Oakland has one of MLB's worst records, but they've been on a tear in July and have beat some really good teams. It's possible, though, that they could make some significant selling moves before tonight's game even starts. Reaction to the A's leaving town and a preview of this series and how much it means to the San Francisco Giants is discussed. Additionally, the Giants' approach to the deadline (recorded prior to the Soler/Jackson trade) is analyzed at length. Will the Giants hold onto Blake Snell? Are they in a good enough position to add or stand pat?

| 06 Mar 2024 | Trade Buzz: SF Giants Set to Deal J.D. Davis, Joey Bart? | 00:33:45 | |
The San Francisco Giants' addition of Matt Chapman certainly made things awkward for incumbent Giants third baseman J.D. Davis. With the SF Giants adding Chapman to the fold, it's hard to see how J.D. Davis cracks the roster. Chapman is here to play third base; shortstop is not going to happen. The DH spot is occupied by Jorge Soler. Wilmer Flores and LaMonte Wade Jr. take up first base for the SF Giants. That leaves J.D. Davis without a starting job and without a spot on the bench. Another player who seemingly needs to be dealt is Joey Bart. For both players, the only way they'd seem to stick on the roster would be in the event of an unfortunate injury. Chapman, Soler, or Flores getting hurt could keep Davis around. For Bart, an injury to Patrick Bailey or Tom Murphy—signed to a two-year deal this offseason to be Bailey's backup—could keep him around, although Blake Sabol may even make the team ahead of the out-of-options Bart even though Sabol can be optioned. If the Giants want to add one more big-name starter (either Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery), they'd have to clear some payroll or else go over the first luxury tax threshold. One player the Giants could trade in order to do so: Michael Conforto. Luis Matos seems deserving of a role in the majors, and Conforto is standing in his way. And his $18M salary could stand in the way of the SF Giants signing one more big-name pitcher, something they need with an inexperienced rotation that continues to get bit by the injury bug. The latest casualty is Sean Hjelle, who will be shut down and re-evaluated in two weeks with an elbow sprain.

| 07 Mar 2024 | SF Giants Mailbag: Blake Snell's Contract & J.D. Davis' Fate | 00:32:02 | |
At this point in the offseason, with spring training well underway and the regular season on the horizon, things have to be getting pretty uncomfortable for Blake Snell. He must remain on the San Francisco Giants' radar, and they legitimately could strike at any time. What kind of contract will Snell ultimately land? What number should make SF Giants fans feel like it's a wise investment? Will Snell's next deal be short- or long-term? Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast: How would you grade the Giants' offseason with the moves currently made? And if they signed Snell, what would their grade be? Could we make the roster work while keeping J.D. Davis? Bench could look like J.D., Murphy, Wilmer, Slater. Could Chapman, Thairo, and Wilmer fill in at shortstop when necessary behind Ahmed (assuming he wins the starting job)? NL West projections as currently constructed? I’d like to see an exploration of a trade for Dylan Cease. I think the Giants would have to give up too much, but some folks like Marty Lurie think it would be a great move. What SS do you think the Giants could get if they offered in a trade: Marco Luciano, Mason Black, J.D. Davis, and Joey Bart? Do Mike Clevinger or Michael Lorenzen make more sense for a fit if they’re able to move off of Davis’s contract in a trade of some sort? Is Madison Bumgarner coming back? Odds?

| 12 May 2024 | POSTCAST: Chapman Grand Slam Gives Giants Win in Mason Black Oracle Park Debut | 00:32:03 | |
The San Francisco Giants got back in the win column after taking down the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 at Oracle Park. Matt Chapman blasted a grand slam in the first inning, a great sign from the struggling star. Mason Black made his Oracle Park debut and pitched great, lasting 4 1/3 innings and only giving up one run. Heliot Ramos added multiple highlight-reel plays in the outfield on the way to the San Francisco Giants win.

| 05 Apr 2024 | SF Giants vs. Padres Showdown: Home Opener Series Preview & Predictions | 00:36:27 | |
The San Francisco Giants had a nice opening series against the Padres, splitting the four-game set while exhibiting strong offense and starting pitching performances (outside of the blowout finale). Now, the Giants and Padres are set to meet again as the SF Giants kick off their home schedule. Locked On Giants and Locked On Padres recap the series that was and the series that's to come. What have we learned about these two teams so far? The Giants were swept in LA following their solid series in San Diego, so things aren't looking as rosy as they enter their home opener with an unsightly 2-5 record. But, as discussed on yesterday's episode, there's no reason to panic and the Giants only figure to get strong as the season goes along, with Blake Snell returning Monday, Alex Cobb likely shortly after that, and Robbie Ray lurking around the All-Star break. What will happen when these two teams square off in San Francisco for the second time in three series (before not meeting again until September)? Jordan Hicks, Keaton Winn, and Logan Webb will face off against the back three in the Padres' rotation, and the SF Giants, playing in front of their home fans for the first time, should have the edge in the series and both hosts predict San Francisco taking two out of three. This on the heels of Locked On Padres host Javier Reyes boldly and completely incorrectly predicting the Padres would sweep the Giants in the opening series.

| 30 Dec 2023 | Chasing Stars: SF Giants' Potential Bid for Juan Soto in 2024 Explained | 00:31:25 | |
The year 2024 is soon to be upon us, so perhaps it's time to start thinking about the 2024-25 free agent class. Headlining that class, assuming the Yankees don't extend him, will be Juan Soto entering his age-26 season. Should the San Francisco Giants make a serious run at Soto, as they have in recent years with Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Carlos Correa, and Shohei Ohtani? The Giants absolutely should, but fans have learned by now not to expect the SF Giants to land the big fish, even if fans accept that the Giants are giving it their best effort. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's edition of the Locked On Giants podcast: What is the Giants' payroll status for 2024 after committing $7 million to Jung Hoo Lee? In your opinion could they afford to sign two more nine-figure free agents this year like Blake Snell and Matt Chapman? Why have I heard literally nothing about the Giants pursuing Shota Imanaga? He would help capture Japan fan interest, and would be upper rotation. Great to pair with Snell. It seems like every player wants to be a Dodger and no one wants to be a Giant. It starts with drafting a developing star talent. Farhan Zaidi has failed to do this so far. Is there any hope this will happen in the future? What is the difference between generously giving Carlos Correa a 13-year deal when you know he will not be good at the end of it vs. being much more conservative with long term deals for starting pitchers?

| 16 Feb 2024 | SF Giants Update: Spring Optimism with a Hint of Incompleteness | 00:30:09 | |
The San Francisco Giants have had a busy and productive offseason, even if the focus is on who they did not sign, and that those top two targets—Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto—ended up on the Dodgers. The SF Giants have signed Jung Hoo Lee, Jordan Hicks, Jorge Soler (pending a physical which takes place today, per Susan Slusser of the SF Chronicle), and Tom Murphy. They've traded for Robbie Ray, who's rehabbing from Tommy John surgery, and traded away underperforming players such as Mitch Haniger, Anthony DeSclafani, and Ross Stripling. Yet despite all this business and productivity, it's hard to shake the feeling that the Giants are one big piece or two away from being legitimate contenders. Luckily, however, it's February 16th and there are still four top free agents on the market. And there's no reason to believe the Giants are done just yet, unless they come out and say something to that effect once their deal with Soler is finalized. Pairing Blake Snell at the top of the rotation with Logan Webb is so tantalizing. The duo finished first and second, respectively, in NL Cy Young voting this past season. Adding a Matt Chapman to solidify third base is also intriguing. Both Snell and Chapman have played for new Giants manager Bob Melvin and seem like obvious fits. In other news, the SF Giants' (non-related) trade acquisition of Otto Lopez is discussed.

The San Francisco Giants picked up a big win on the road today against the Cleveland Guardians. final score 4-2.

| 22 May 2024 | POSTCAST: Bullpen Blows Big Ninth Inning Lead as Giants Fall to Pirates 7-6 | 00:33:14 | |
The San Francisco Giants win streak came to an end against the Pittsburgh Pirates after the bullpen blew a four-run lead in the ninth inning. The loss spoils a great outing from Logan Webb, who tossed six innings of two-run ball. Thairo Estrada and Matt Chapman both homered in this one, and the San Francisco Giants' young bats contributed as well. But Marco Luciano's bad play in the field cost them a win in this one.

| 08 Jan 2025 | San Francisco Giants, Justin Verlander Agree to 1-Year, $15M Deal (Report) | 00:34:26 | |
The San Francisco Giants have made headlines by signing veteran pitcher Justin Verlander to a reported one-year, $15 million deal. With Verlander's Hall of Fame resume and recent underlying metrics that suggest his step back in 2024 was a bit unlucky, the Giants aim to bolster their roster and enhance their playoff chances. But this is a move that's far from a sure thing to work out. Join host Ben Kaspick as he explores Verlander's potential impact on the SF Giants' pitching staff, including his role in mentoring the Giants' large group of young arms. Discover how this signing affects the Giants' payroll and potential future roster moves, with speculation on possible trades involving players like Luis Arraez or signings like Alex Bregman, Pete Alonso, or Anthony Santander. Will Verlander's leadership and experience bring a new dynamic to the Giants' clubhouse? Tune in for an in-depth analysis and expert insights on the Giants' strategic direction.

| 30 Jun 2024 | POSTCAST: Giants Can't Get Clutch Hit in Extras as they Fall to Dodgers | 00:34:48 | |
The San Francisco Giants couldn't pull off a second walk-off win in as many days, as the Los Angeles Dodgers win 14-7 in extra innings at Oracle Park. The San Francisco Giants had the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th with the winning run at third base and only one out, but couldn’t manage to get the run home. The Los Angeles Dodgers responded with a seven run inning in the 11th and that was all she wrote. It was another bullpen game for the San Francisco Giants as injuries continue to plague their starting pitching staff, while Los Angeles Dodgers ace Tyler Glasnow got the start on the other side. The San Francisco Giants got to Tyler Glasnow early and chased him from this game after just three innings of work. The offense played well overall, but couldn’t come up with a hit when it mattered most.

The San Francisco Giants outlasted the Houston Astros and eventually picked up the walk-off win in the 10th inning, and win by a score of 4-3. After giving up two runs in the top of the 10th inning, the San Francisco Giants strung together a series of hits and capitalized on a couple of Houston Astros miscues to score three runs in the bottom of the inning. Austin Slater came up with the big hit to drive in Michael Conforto for the winning run. Kyle Harrison also pitched well in the outing, as he gave up just one run over 6 1/3 innings with zero walks.

| 01 May 2024 | Inbox: Why Haven't the SF Giants Called Up Mason Black? | 00:29:35 | |
Blake Snell is currently on the San Francisco Giants' injured list, yet the Giants aren't relying on one of their top young starters to fill his place. Daulton Jefferies got lit up in the first series of the year and appears poised to pitch tonight. Sean Hjelle is also on the active roster, while Black continues to dominate in Triple-A. Should the Giants add Black to the roster—forcing a 40-man move—instead of relying on the likes of Jefferies and Hjelle? Switching gears, Tom Murphy has been the SF Giants' least productive player thus far. Is there any cause for concern? Was his two-year deal a mistake?

| 29 Jul 2024 | Should SF Giants Buy, Sell, or Hold After Dominant Sweep Brings Them Back Into Fringe Contention? | 00:34:36 | |
Following the San Francisco Giants' extremely frustrating 2-5 road trip to begin the second half, it was looking like they were trending strongly towards selling at Tuesday's 3 PM Pacific trade deadline. The Giants had one more series—four games against the Colorado Rockies—to prove to upper management that the team should be held together or added to. And the SF Giants absolutely took care of business on the field, sweeping the Rockies in dominant fashion with historic pitching performances. Now the Giants find themselves just two games under .500, at 53-55, and 3.5 games back of the NL's final wild card spot. Based on other teams' games tonight, the SF Giants could be as few as three or as many as four games back by Tuesday's deadline. Given their recent performance, and the fact that the Giants' starting pitching is finally coming together, it's hard to see Giants president of baseball operations tearing this team apart. He hasn't done so yet in five previous deadlines at the helm, which makes it even harder to see it happening this year. Instead of moving high-end players on short-term deals—namely, Blake Snell, who struck out 15 Rockies in six historically excellent frames in Game 1 of Saturday's double-header—the Giants could opt to thread he needle and perhaps moves players such as Michael Conforto, Taylor Rogers, or Alex Cobb, freeing up playing time for younger players without substracting too meaningfully from their core of talent. Camilo Doval, Thairo Estrada, Wilmer Flores, and Mike Yastrzemski are also possible candidates to be dealt, but selling Snell seems unlikely. Tragically, the baseball world learned last night of the passing of former Giants reliever Reyes Moronta, who died in a car accident in the Dominican Republic. Moronta was universally well-liked and was just 31 years old. Locked On Giants extends its deepest condolences to those who knew and loved Moronta.

| 15 Apr 2024 | The San Francisco Giants Are Better Than This | 00:34:25 | |
The San Francisco Giants are not the third-worst team in the National League. Their 6-10 record may be, but the talent on the team would seem to make the SF Giants fairly easily one of the top half of teams in the NL, or at the very least middle of the pack. No, the Giants aren't off to the start they hoped for, but no, it doesn't mean these 16 games define them whatsoever. Hitters like Matt Chapman, Wilmer Flores, Mike Yastrzemski, and Austin Slater are producing at far below their career averages. Jung Hoo Lee and Chapman have been particularly unlucky (their expected numbers are way better than their actual results). Quite simply, 16 games is not nearly enough to judge a baseball team. The same goes for certain SF Giants pitchers. Blake Snell was lit up in his return to Tampa, and after two Giants starts, his ERA sits near 13.00. Obviously, that's not who Blake Snell is. When all is said and done, his season ERA might end up about 10 points lower. It's worth pointing out that last season Snell had a 5.40 ERA through his first nine starts/45 innings of the season, then he went on to have a 1.25 ERA over his final 23 starts en route to a near unanimous NL Cy Young Award.

| 08 Feb 2024 | Evaluating the SF Giants: Trust in Their Inexperienced Starting Staff? | 00:32:43 | |
Logan Webb is a top-10 pitcher in major league baseball. The San Francisco Giants are lucky to have him anchoring their rotation for years to come. But beyond Webb, the Giants' current projected rotation is extremely inexperienced. The most experienced of the bunch, Jordan Hicks, has very little experience as a starting pitcher! The rest of the SF Giants' projected starters are young players looking to make their name in the game. Do the Giants need to add pitching after Alex Wood, Ross Stripling, and Anthony DeSclafani have all found new homes? Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast: Given how the Giants were reportedly aggressively involved in the Corbin Burnes trade market, doesn't that alone suggest they are still searching for a top of the rotation arm to complement Logan Webb to start the 2024 season? Is it possible to get Jorge Soler and Matt Chapman? Or is it one of them and another starter? Is it realistic to think the Giants will land both Soler and Chapman? Or is it a situation of just one? Is Luis Matos going to be a starter on Opening Day? Do you enjoy the SF Giants' brand of baseball? Are you happy with the direction of this team? Do you think this ownership is committed to winning - as in, is it a priority? What grade do you give the Giants for this offseason? What stat do you value most when evaluating pitchers?

Hayden Birdsong pitched well today after a disastrous start in his prior outing, but the San Francisco Giants kept him on a short leash as he only threw 78 pitches over 4.2 innings despite only giving up one run. Offensively, the Giants made another average pitcher look like a Cy Young candidate as they only managed to record one hit off of the starter and four hits in total. A playoff appearance seems like a pipe dream for this team right now.

| 07 Feb 2024 | PECOTA's Take: SF Giants in the Fray, But Need To Do More | 00:32:33 | |
The San Francisco Giants have been the definition of mediocre over the last two seasons. The Giants finished exactly 81-81 in 2022, an exactly .500 record for the first time in franchise history. They were two games worse than than in 2023. So it's fitting, and a bit concerning, that the SF Giants project at exactly 81.0 wins in 2024 according to PECOTA. The good news is that there's still a lot of talent out there and the Giants could significantly improve their standing in what figures to be a National League with quite a bit of parody outside of LA and Atlanta. Switching gears, Keith Law's Top 100 prospects list is discussed. Law considers Kyle Harrison to be the SF Giants' best prospect, and one of the top prospects in baseball. He views him as a No. 2 starter right now and a potential ace if he can tighten up his command or refine his breaking ball. Also appearing on Law's Top 100 are Marco Luciano (who disappointingly falls into the 80s) and Bryce Eldridge, the SF Giants' first-round pick in 2023. Finally, with 51 days until Opening Day, Jung Hoo Lee—who will wear No. 51—is discussed. In particular, a range of projections for Lee are assessed. What's amazing about all of the different projections for Lee is how similar they are. There is a narrow range of projected outcomes in key metrics like AVG, OBP, SLG, wRC+, WAR, and K%. All of the systems view the Giants' top addition as a solidly above-average player.

| 18 Jun 2024 | POSTCAST: Estrada Ninth Inning Blast Lifts Giants Over Cubs at Wrigley Field | 00:33:15 | |
The San Francisco Giants out-homered the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field today in a 7-6 win. Three different San Francisco Giants smashed home runs, but it was Thairo Estrada who had the biggest blast of them all with a three-run jack in the top of the ninth inning which gave the San Francisco Giants a one run lead. Jordan Hicks tossed five scoreless innings in the start and Camilo Doval showed us all that he's just fine on the bump after a disastrous outing in his prior appearance.

| 19 Jul 2024 | Inbox: Should the San Francisco Giants Trade for Bo Bichette? | 00:34:53 | |
The San Francisco Giants kick off the second half of their season tonight (even though they've played 97 games and have just 65 remaining, so they're well past the true halfway point). The Giants have a soft portion of their schedule essentially from now until early September, and they must take advantage. It all kicks off tonight with the SF Giants facing the Rockies for three games in Denver. Seven of their next 11 games are against the lowly Rockies, but their other four are road games in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, so the Giants must take advantage of Colorado and it starts tonight. Among the questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast are: Would you prefer a trade for Bo Bichette or Vladimir Guerrero Jr.? If so, which prospects would we need to give up? Marco Luciano and Carson Whisenhunt for Bichette? I think we need an everyday SS he seems like he needs a change of scenery. What’s your prediction on the record of the Giants' next 20 games? The next 13 games include road series against the Rockies (3) and Dodgers (4) and home series against the Rockies (4) and A’s (2). How many wins do the Giants need in order to consider themselves competing for a wild card spot? What do you predict the SF Giants' record to be at the end of the season? I know there are a lot of unknowns but do you think we are at least above .500? In a wild card spot? Does Heliot Ramos keep up the pace in the 2nd half? Camilo Doval trade coming?

| 04 Jun 2024 | POSTCAST: Giants Losing Streak Extends to Five After D-Backs Walk-Off in the Desert | 00:31:49 | |
The San Francisco Giants nearly pulled off another comeback win on the road, but the Arizona Diamondbacks had other plans as Pavin Smith blasted a walk-off two run home run to dead center field to defeat the San Francisco Giants 4-2. The San Francisco Giants had several chances to take the lead in this one, but went just 1-6 with runners in scoring position. Jorge Soler nearly legged out an infield single, which would have scored a run in the top of the ninth, but was called out on replay review after initially being ruled safe.

The San Francisco Giants showed some guts today as they battled their way back into this game after falling behind 5-0, ultimately picking up the extra-innings win over the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 9-5. Luis Matos energized the San Francisco Giants with a hustle double in the 9th inning, and later scored on a Lamonte Wade Jr single to tie the game at five and send it to extras. Then the bats woke up, as the San Francisco Giants plated four runs in the 10th inning. One day after the Giants let a win slip away in the ninth inning, they steal one back from the Pirates with late game heroics of their own.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Ibotta Yahoo Finance LinkedIn Policygenius PrizePicks eBay Motors | |||
| 23 Feb 2024 | Marco Luciano as SF Giants' Shortstop: Keith Law's Critical Review -- Agree or Disagree? | 00:34:51 | |
The Athletic's Keith Law was on KNBR recently and he criticized the San Francisco Giants' apparent plan to start Marco Luciano at shortstop in 2024, going so far as to call the plan "reckless." Does Law have a point? Are the SF Giants setting Luciano up for failure? Or is Law perhaps not the ultimate authority on the matter? Memorably, Law wrote a piece not too long ago in which he re-drafted the class that yielded Bryce Harper, Manny Machado, and Christian Yelich, among others. The player Law said he would take first overall? Andrelton Simmons—a shocking decision. So ... maybe Law's words shouldn't always be taken as gospel. He also criticized the SF Giants ahead of the 2010 season, and we all know how that ended up: with the raising of a championship banner. Prospect analysis is a tricky game indeed. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast: If Luis Matos has a good spring, would you trade one of Mike Yastrzemski and Michael Conforto and give Luis an everyday corner spot? Don’t understand the logic of starting him at Sac if he has a good spring but basically give Luciano SS without much competition. Do you think we really need Slater? He’s basically a one trick pony and was horrible the 2nd half of last year. Between Matos, Blake Sabol, Tyler Fitzgerald, Wade Meckler, and Ramos he’s taking up a valuable roster spot and is a FA next year. I just think Ramos deserves a fair shot. Any chance you can discuss the WAR for every teams 1st round pick from the 10 years and how the Hiants would've been better off having not signed a single first round pick in that span? Susan Slusser retweeted the chart I’m talking about.

| 03 Jan 2024 | Passan: SF Giants expected to sign "at least one" top-end Scott Boras client | 00:32:37 | |
ESPN's Jeff Passan is arguably baseball's most trustworthy reporter, and he wrote today that "One team opposing organizations expect to sign at least one top-end Boras client: the San Francisco Giants..." Passan is referring to Boras' 'Big 4': Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger, Jordan Montgomery, and Matt Chapman. It's not surprising that opposing teams view the SF Giants as a likely destination for at least one of these players. The Giants are still believed to be big-game hunting; it's just been a very slow-moving market. The impending close of Shota Imanaga's posting window is likely holding up the market to a degree, particularly for Snell and Montgomery. Imanaga's 45-day posting window expires a week from Thursday, and he is expected to command a deal of at least $100 million, per Passan. The Giants make sense for Imanaga, just like they do for fellow lefty starters Snell and Montgomery. Finally, Passan also mentions the SF Giants as a possible destination for high-end relievers Josh Hader, Jordan Hicks, and Robert Stephenson. He also lists the Giants among the select group of teams looking at the veteran position player market, which Passan says is "in danger of collapsing" due to low overall demand. The names mentioned: Teoscar Hernandez, Jorge Soler, J.D. Martinez, Justin Turner, Rhys Hoskins, Joc Pederson, Brandon Belt, Harrison Bader, Michael A. Taylor, Tommy Pham, Adam Duvall, and Eddie Rosario. It's difficult to see any of these players fitting the SF Giants well, but there are perhaps a few exceptions.

| 24 Jun 2024 | Reeling SF Giants Must Play Better—Now | 00:34:04 | |
The San Francisco Giants were riding high one game into their six-game road trip against two teams they are directly competing with in the wild card race. Thairo Estrada hit a huge, ninth-inning three-run homer to give the SF Giants the lead and eventually the win. But after that, the Giants dropped their next five games and lost the legendary Willie Mays who passed away last Tuesday at the age of 93. The Giants' five-game skid leaves them with the third-worst record in the NL, which should be unacceptable for this team. However, much of the SF Giants' struggles can be linked to the fact that they've been ravaged by injuries, particularly in the starting rotation. The eventual return of several key starters could position the Giants for a strong second-half run. They just need to stay afloat in the meantime. One other issue that's become glaring in recent weeks has been the Giants' insane stolen base differential. Teams are running wild on Giants pitchers, despite Patrick Bailey being elite with his pop times. Meanwhile, the SF Giants are not stealing bases, leaving with by far the largest negative stolen base differential in MLB. It's a problem that must be addressed, but one that may be hard to fix mid-season.

The San Francisco Giants offense showed up in a big way at Tropicana Field as they posted a season-high 11 runs in their win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Thairo Estrada, Matt Chapman, Jorge Soler, and LaMonte Wade Jr all hit home runs in this one, a welcomed sign for the San Francisco Giants who had gone seven games without a home run before today's matchup. Logan Webb was his usual dominant self on the mound, giving the San Francisco Giants seven strong innings of work and only allowing one run.

Matt Chapman drove in the go-ahead run after Tyler Fitzgerald scored on an error by Ha Seong Kim to tie the game. The bullpen did the rest with Camilo Doval slamming the door in the ninth inning and earned his 70th career save.

| 02 Mar 2024 | SF Giants to Sign Matt Chapman (Instant Reaction) | 00:03:56 | |
The San Francisco Giants are signing platinum glove third baseman Matt Chapman. It's a three-year, $54 million contract with opt outs after each of the first two years, which looks like a total steal for the Giants. Chapman has also never been a below-average hitter in his career. The SF Giants did very well here, but there could be more on the horizon. Susan Slusser of the SF Chronicle tweeted that the Giants' signing of Chapman does not preclude them from signing Blake Snell. In fact, she said, the SF Giants are very much still involved with Snell...

| 01 Sep 2024 | POSTCAST: Webb Roughed Up as Giants Drop Series to Marlins | 00:34:40 | |
The San Francisco Giants dropped the final game of the series against the Miami Marlins today, final score 7-5. With the loss, the San Francisco Giants lose the series to the Miami Marlins, a team that was 26 games below .500 coming into today. Logan Webb got the start for the San Francisco Giants and cruised through the first four innings before getting tagged for four runs in the fifth inning. The San Francisco Giants offense continued their season-long trend of only hitting for a small portion of the game. While they posted five runs today, they really struggled to get anyone on base in the later innings of this matchup. Off day tomorrow, then the homestand continues Tuesday.

The San Francisco Giants continued to struggle offensively with runners in scoring position as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim won again today, 4-3. Heliot Ramos did everything he could, including launch a two-run homer and an RBI double, but the rest of the San Francisco Giants offense was putrid. Just 1-13 with runners in scoring position and stranded 8 runners on base. Keaton Winn finally had a nice outing again, but the San Francisco Giants couldn't capitalize.

The San Francisco Giants finished off the sweep of the Colorado Rockies today at Oracle Park with a 5-4 win. Erik Miller started a bullpen game for the San Francisco Giants which featured six different pitchers for the Giants and he delivered another shutdown inning to set tone for the rest of the game. But the San Francisco Giants won this game with their offense, surprisingly. They picked up 13 hits and went 3-10 with runners in scoring position. A much better showing than they've had in recent weeks.

| 09 Apr 2024 | Blake Snell's SF Giants Debut Spoiled by Pesky Nats, Ice-Cold Bats | 00:32:54 | |
Blake Snell's San Francisco Giants debut didn't go as planned. Snell himself was not at his best, although his strikeout and walk rates were roughly in line with what Giants fans should expect. But Snell threw far too many pitches and only lasted three innings, while the Nationals' pesky offense, which has haunted the Giants in recent seasons, put hits and runs on the board. Blake Snell's Giants debut is discussed in detail with Locked On Giants POSTCAST host Erik Engle and Locked On Giants host Ben Kaspick. Afterwards, the SF Giants' rough 4-7 start is discussed. The Giants' offense has been MLB's worst by wRC+ ever since their series in Los Angeles started about a week ago. On the season, the San Francisco Giants haven't really pitched or hit well. There are a few exceptions, such as Jordan Hicks, Ryan Walker, Michael Conforto, and some others, but all-in-all the Giants rank near the bottom in most pitching and hitting categories. It is a small sample but one the SF Giants should be able to fix against a team like the Nationals, but it hasn't worked out that way ... for years. The Nationals have been a different team vs. the Giants than they have been vs. everyone else since the start of the 2022 season. Most notably, the Nats have better than a .350 average on balls in play vs. the Giants since 2022, whereas it's .291 vs. the rest of the league. As such, Washington has a 120 wRC+ vs. the Giants since '22 and a 91 wRC+ vs. every other team. It's an inexplicable trend that seems more fluky than anything. The beauty of baseball, especially early in the season, is that every day is a new opportunity to get back on track. The Giants could still win this series and come away feeling good if they can put together a couple of wins to close out this homestand.

| 07 Mar 2024 | SF Giants Mailbag: Marco Luciano's Spring Struggles - Cause for Concern? | 00:29:34 | |
Marco Luciano came into spring training as the San Francisco Giants' presumptive Opening Day shortstop. A couple of weeks into games and the thinking may start to be shifting. Luciano has struck out in over 50% of his plate appearances, which is a continuation of a high-strikeout tendency Luciano displayed in the SF Giants' Triple-A and major league levels in 2023. With veteran Gold Glove winner Nick Ahmed in camp, in addition to other shortstop options like Tyler Fitzgerald, Casey Schmitt, and others, it's certainly possible that the Giant send Luciano to Triple-A to start the season where he can look to get hot and eventually claim a starting role in the majors. There's no reason for the Giants to rush the 22-year-old Marco Luciano. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast: What do you think Casey Schmitt’s future looks like now with Matt Chapman signing and a logjam at SS? Do you think they’ll keep him around for when/if Chapman opts out or is he on the trade table? How come Joey Bart hasn’t been traded yet? Can the Giants package J.D. Davis and Bart and get something back? It would be nice to sign Blake Snell and then get Bart and Davis off the books. Any Pablo Sandoval sightings? Haven’t heard of any AB’s What are we going to do about the pitching dilemma? We need to add two starters in my opinion.

| 10 Jun 2024 | SF Giants Win Road Series vs. Champs But Falter in Finale | 00:34:11 | |
All told, the San Francisco Giants had a nice series vs. the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers. The Giants took two out of three but lost in the finale, squander a chance to sweep. After losing the first two games of their six-game road trip, the SF Giants overall rebounded nicely to have a .500 trip against two contending teams. Heliot Ramos stayed hot in the Giants' wins. Ramos' breakout has been perhaps the best story of the 2024 season so far for the SF Giants. Wilmer Flores, who's been filling in at first base for the injured LaMonte Wade Jr., also had a big game that contributed to a Giants win. Spencer Howard did a very nice job over 4.2 innings to help the Giants win Game 2 of the series. Howard's numbers and likelihood of sticking in San Francisco's rotation are discussed. Additionally, Keaton Winn came off the IL and was roughed up in Sunday's loss. Winn has poor numbers on the season and his status in the Giants' rotation moving forward is talked about as well.

Kyle Harrison pitched well enough to keep the San Francisco Giants in this game late, but Luke Jackson imploded in the 7th inning, surrendering four runs and creating an insurmountable deficit for the struggling San Francisco Giants offense to overcome. They will try to avoid the sweep tomorrow in the final game of the three-game series.

| 14 Mar 2024 | Why Deserving SF Giants Outfielder Luis Matos Probably Won't Make Opening Day Roster | 00:31:35 | |
Twenty-two-year-old San Francisco Giants outfield prospect Luis Matos held his own in the majors last season as a 21-year-old rookie. Matos then added over 10 pounds of muscle in the offseason and has slugged all spring. With new center fielder Jung Hoo Lee in the fold, Matos can focus on corner outfield, where he profiles better as a defender. However, Matos may still find himself on the outside looking in of the SF Giants' roster on Opening Day. Michael Conforto, Lee, Mike Yastrzemski, and Austin Slater all hold positions over Matos for various reasons. Most importantly, it's a matter of protecting inventory. A baseball season is a battle of attrition. Guys get hurt and replacements are needed constantly. Matos figures to hear his name called as soon as there's any injury in the outfield. But until then, he may have to wait his turn, unless the Giants make a surprising move such as trading a veteran with an established track record like Conforto. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres made yet another big splash, acquiring starting pitcher Dylan Cease in a trade with the White Sox. The Padres are not afraid to make moves, though those moves have frequently backfired or simply not led to great results. Still, there's no doubt that Cease makes the Padres better, and by doing so, hurts the Giants' playoff odds. If the Giants want to add premier pitching, Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery remain on the free-agent market.

| 01 Feb 2024 | Four SF Giants crack MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects List—including two newcomers | 00:32:10 | |
Patrick Bailey and Jung Hoo Lee were kind of robbed by the system. Bailey, who burst onto the scene in 2023 with his defensive excellence at the most important position on the field, was never a Top 100 prospect darling. Lee, who's coming over from Korea, is only 25 years old, and would certainly crack a top prospects list if eligible, was not included on MLB Pipeline's list this year because they decided to stop including international signings. However, that didn't stop the SF Giants from having four representatives on MLB Top 100 list. There were the usual suspects, Kyle Harrison and Marco Luciano, leading the way. Both players reached the major leagues in 2023 and figure to have a real shot at further development this upcoming season. Harrison has ace potential and Luciano could have 30+ home run power. Two newcomers joined the list for the Giants. Carson Whisenhunt, a left-handed pitcher, was ranked for the first time. Bryce Eldridge, the San Francisco Giants' first-round selection in the 2023 draft, also cracked MLB Pipeline's Top 100 list. Whisenhunt features a devastating changeup, one of the best in professional baseball, and Eldridge is a 6'7" teenager with huge raw power. Oh, and he's also a pitcher who sits in the low to mid-90s and throws strikes.

In the top of the eighth inning, the San Francisco Giants generated a rally that brought them within two runs of the lead, but couldn't build on it to overtake the Brewers.

| 02 Mar 2024 | BREAKING: SF Giants To Sign Matt Chapman, Have "Optimism" About Blake Snell | 00:18:40 | |
The San Francisco Giants have been lurking all offseason. The Giants have made solid move after solid move, and on Friday night, they snagged the best position player left on the market, Matt Chapman, to a deal that's worth two to three times less than what the industry initially expected him to land. The SF Giants and Chapman agreed to a three-year, $54 million contract with opt outs after the first two seasons. Most in the industry expected Chapman to sign for somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-6 years at $25M per year, so $100M to $150M. Chapman brings a plus-plus glove to the Giants at third base. He brings instant credibility to the lineup and defense, as well as in the clubhouse. He helps fill the leadership void after the departure of Brandon Crawford to St. Louis. Matt Chapman is also no slouch at the plate, although he can be streaky. Overall, he's been much better per plate appearance than J.D. Davis both in his career and in the last three years. So Chapman represents a significant third base upgrade for the San Francisco Giants. There appears to be no more room for Davis on the roster, so a trade seems likely. Something else that could perhaps be likely is the SF Giants signing Blake Snell. Both the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser and NBC Sports Bay Area's Alex Pavlovic mentioned that the Giants are still in on Snell, with Slusser saying they're still very much involved and Pavlovic going so far as to say there's been optimism about a potential deal. Signing Snell would be the icing on the cake of a great offseason for the Giants.

Despite being out of the playoff race, the San Francisco Giants' last series holds significant stakes for individual contracts, and team record.

This episode explores how young talents like Marco Luciano, Luis Matos, and Grant McCray are handling the pressure, alongside Patrick Bailey's offensive struggles. The Giants' recent series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks has left the Diamondbacks in a precarious playoff scenario, potentially waiting beyond the regular season for their fate.

| 19 Mar 2024 | SF Giants' Major Strike: Blake Snell Signing & Offseason Recap | 00:32:44 | |
The San Francisco Giants needed to have a huge offseason, and they've done it. Capped by the reported addition of reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell—which is pending a physical—the Giants have made numerous meaningful improvements that vault them firmly into the mix for a playoff berth and make them a potentially scary team to have to face in October. Blake Snell is second in MLB in ERA and strikeout rate since 2022 (min. 300 innings). He's a power lefty with a mid-90s fastball that he pairs with a devastating curveball, a changeup, and a slider. Blake Snell and Logan Webb give the SF Giants one of the best 1-2 punches in baseball. The SF Giants have shot well past the first luxury tax threshold with this signing, so they're exceeding the tax for the first time since 2017. The Giants' luxury tax payroll ranks sixth in MLB, per RosterResource. In totality, with Snell, Jung Hoo Lee, Matt Chapman, Jorge Soler, Jordan Hicks, and Tom Murphy, the SF Giants have easily had an 'A' offseason. It's pretty remarkable how good their offseason looks considering they missed out on their two top targets in Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto, both of whom signed with the rival Dodgers. Outside of the Dodgers and Braves, the National League should be quite a battle when it comes to the three wild card spots. But with all of their moves combined, the SF Giants appear to have as good of a shot as anyone of playing postseason baseball, and if they make it there, they could be a very scary opponent.

| 30 Mar 2025 | GIANTS POSTCAST: Giants SOLID Win Over Reds, Take First Series of the Season | 00:21:41 | |
The San Francisco Giants played a very well-rounded game today as they beat the Cincinnati Reds in the rubber match to take their first series of the 2025 MLB season. Matt Chapman delivered big time both at the dish and in the field today with a key 8th inning double-play, and a two-run bomb in the 6th. Robbie Ray pitched pretty well in his first start of the season, and the San Francisco Giants even manufactured a run with bunts and steals. A very solid win for the San Francisco Giants.

| 15 Aug 2024 | POSTCAST: Webb Spins a Gem in Giants Must-Win Victory Over Braves | 00:32:37 | |
The San Francisco Giants avoided the sweep today with a 6-0 win over the Atlanta Braves. This was the biggest win of the season for a team that is hanging on to their playoff hopes by a thread, and Logan Webb pitched like it today. The San Francisco Giants ace tossed 7.2 innings of dominant shutout ball while striking out seven. Rookie Grant McCray recorded his first MLB hit, RBI, and home run in just his second game with the San Francisco Giants big league club. With the win, the San Francisco Giants are now 3.5 games out of the NL Wild Card.

The San Francisco Giants couldn't avoid the sweep today as they fall to the San Diego Padres 4-3 at Oracle Park. The loss marks the fourth in a row for the San Francisco Giants. Landen Roupp got the start and tossed five shutout innings, but the San Francisco Giants failed to produce any runs while he was on the mound. In slightly less bad news for the San Francisco Giants, they ended a 32-inning scoreless streak with a Donovan Walton home run in the sixth inning. Heliot Ramos added a splash-hit home run in the ninth inning, becoming the first right-handed batter to launch a home run into McCovey Cover in Oracle Park's 25 year history. Will this team find their way before the end of the season and finish with something to build on for next year, or will they continue their free fall into oblivion?

| 29 Feb 2024 | Tristan Beck Has Arm Aneurysm; SF Giants Should Feel Sense of Urgency to Sign Snell or Montgomery | 00:32:54 | |
First Keaton Winn and now Tristan Beck. The San Francisco Giants' remarkably inexperienced projected starting rotation outside of Logan Webb has taken two hits recently, with Winn dealing with an elbow injury (that has progressed well) and now Tristan Beck being diagnosed with a scary upper arm aneurysm. We at Locked On wish a speedy and full recovery for Beck, who stands to miss significant time with this complicated health matter. The SF Giants love their young pitching that goes beyond Tristan Beck and Keaton Winn. There's Mason Black. Carson Whisenhunt. Landen Roupp. Reggie Crawford. And others. However, it would be foolish to go into the season with such a reliance on unproven pitching. The Giant should sign Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery. It makes too much sense, and there is too much riding on this season. The SF Giants cannot afford to miss the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years.

| 12 Mar 2024 | SF Giants' J.D. Davis Drama: Unraveling the $6.9M Salary Release - Righteous or Agent's Miscalculation? | 00:32:28 | |
The San Francisco Giants and J.D. Davis' agent, Matt Hannaford, are engaged in a war of words after Davis was released by the Giants on Monday, leaving Davis with just a fraction of his non-guaranteed $6.9 million salary. Did the Giants do something wrong, or did Davis' agent overplay his hand? All of the details and public comments are discussed and analyzed. In essence, both parties claim that the SF Giants came in with an offer that was, according to Hannaford, "several hundred thousand" below the SF Giants' $6.55M filing number within an hour of the deadline to exchange figures. Giants president of baseball operations responded very specifically, saying that the Giants' offer was for just under $6.4M. Regardless, the key point is that had Davis' representation accepted the Giants' offer, that money would be guaranteed. If they passed on the offer and the deadline to exchange figures arrived, which it ultimately did, then Davis would go to an arbitration hearing fighting for non-guaranteed money. Any way you look at this, it seems like Davis' agent did a poor job helping his client. The SF Giants were linked to Matt Chapman all offseason. Davis himself commented publicly on the possibility of the Giants signing Chapman before it happened. So there's absolutely no reason Davis should've let this go to an arbitration hearing, knowing that the money would not be guaranteed if it did—whether they won or lost the hearing. What ended up transpiring was that the Giants did indeed sign Chapman, clearly making Davis the odd man out. Davis' agent should've known that would be the case—it was immediately discussed on Locked On Giants once the Chapman deal was reported. The SF Giants looked for a trade partner for Davis, were unable to find one, and put him on outright waivers. Any team could've claimed Davis and his $6.9M (non-guaranteed through Opening Day) salary, and every team passed. At that point, the Giants were left with no choice but to release Davis, leaving him with just 30 days pay, or just over $1.1M. All in all, this looks like a major blunder by Davis' representation and not really something that the Giants did wrong. It stinks for J.D. Davis nonetheless and hopefully he lands on his feet. Davis ultimately made north of $6M in his 1 1/3 seasons with the Giants.

| 24 Apr 2024 | Keaton Winn Dominates as SF Giants Look the Part vs. Competitive Mets | 00:31:49 | |
The San Francisco Giants squared off against a hot Mets team on Monday night with their No. 5 starter on the mound, and the Giants looked every bit the part of a team that can play with anyone. SF Giants starter Keaton Winn dominated New York over six innings, lowering his ERA to 3.54. The SF Giants have somewhat struggled out of the gates in 2024, but they're starting to play much better baseball. The Mets were a good test, and the test was passed in Game 1. The Giants' bats, cold to start the season, got to Jose Quintana and the game was mostly one-sided until things got slightly weird with Camilo Doval in the 9th. Speaking of Doval, the Giants' bullpen is new-look these last two days. Nick Avila was optioned as Luke Jackson returned from the IL, and today Mitch White was officially added to the 26-man roster with Landen Roupp being optioned to clear space.

| 12 Jul 2024 | Disappointment Reigns as SF Giants Lose Back-to-Back Series in Which They Won the First Game | 00:33:22 | |
Two series in a row, the San Francisco Giants have won the first game only to lose the final two. It's a brutal result for a team that has been struggling to reach and surpass the .500 mark all season. If the Giants could've just won two of those four games, they would be 47-47. Instead, the SF Giants are 45-49 as they enter the final series of the first half against the talented Minnesota Twins. In the middle game of the SF Giants' series vs. Toronto, Logan Webb was staked to a 2-0 lead and pitched four scoreless innings before imploding for one of his worst starts in recent memory. Webb's rough outing was followed by another poor showing from Jordan Hicks, who was so good for the first month and a half of the season, but the last month and a half has been really rough. Hicks appears to be leaking oil and is a candidate to move back to the bullpen when Robbie Ray and Alex Cobb return from injuries. The San Francisco Giants' upcoming series against the Twins feels important. Some NL wild card teams have started to gain a little separation from the .500 mark, and the Giants are four games under. At the very least, winning a series against a good team would give the Giants some momentum going into the All-Star break. The task won't be easy, however, as the Twins' lineup and defense is quite good, and their best two starters are lined up to start the first two games of the series vs. Giants rookie starters Kyle Harrison and Hayden Birdsong.

| 27 Apr 2024 | Fireworks Start Early: Patrick Bailey's Blast Gives SF Giants Dramatic Walk-Off Win | 00:33:18 | |
The fireworks show started early for the San Francisco Giants. In a scoreless game in the bottom of the ninth, SF Giants catcher Patrick Bailey, fast becoming a mainstay in this league and perhaps even a legitimate star, blasted a three-run home run off Pirates closer David Bednar to deliver an exhilarating win for the Giants. This followed what was obviously a great pitching performance all the way through for the Giants. Kyle Harrison was excellent over six shutout innings in what was his best start of the season. Him stepping up in the absence of Blake Snell would go a very long way for the Giants. SF Giants relievers Ryan Walker and Camilo Doval escaped huge jams in the late innings to keep the game tied at zero-zero. Walker loaded the bases with two outs but got out of it on a strikeout that hit the foot of the hitter. Doval allowed runners to reach second and third with no outs and he managed to escape with a strikeout and a 1-2-3 double play. Overall, it was a huge, explosive win for the San Francisco Giants.

| 07 Aug 2024 | SF Giants’ Promising Start Crumbles: 'Terrible' Situational ABs and Birdsong’s Bad Day | 00:33:33 | |
In this episode, we dive deep into the San Francisco Giants’ ongoing struggles with situational hitting, which were painfully evident in their recent loss to the Washington Nationals. Despite having an above-average offense overall, as indicated by their 104 wRC+ this season, the Giants continue to falter in crucial moments. We analyze how their poor performance with runners in scoring position has been a recurring issue throughout the season and how it contributed to their latest defeat against the Nats. Next, we shift focus to Hayden Birdsong’s rough outing, which sparked questions about the SF Giants’ decision to trade away veteran right-hander Alex Cobb at the trade deadline. Birdsong, who had shown high upside in previous starts, struggled badly against the Nationals, raising questions about the Giants’ pitching depth as they aim for a postseason spot. We’ll discuss whether trading Cobb was a mistake and how this decision could impact the Giants’ rotation down the stretch. Finally, we cover the unfortunate news that Wilmer Flores will miss the remainder of the season due to a procedure on his right knee, which has affected his performance throughout the year. Flores, a crucial part of the Giants’ lineup in seasons past, may be back next season as he holds a $3.5 million player option for 2025. We’ll explore what his absence means for the Giants’ playoff push and how the team plans to navigate the rest of the season without him.

| 29 Apr 2024 | SF Giants Win Back-To-Back Series Behind Excellent Starting Pitching | 00:29:52 | |
Losing Blake Snell to an injury was ominous, but the San Francisco Giants' rotation has more than picked up the slack. Kyle Harrison and Keaton Winn, two of the Giants' young starters, made excellent starts and helped propel the SF Giants to back-to-back series wins. Meanwhile, the Giants' offense has continued to struggle to find its groove, with key players like Matt Chapman and Jorge Soler yet to fully get it going, but some others have picked up the slack in the meantime. Mike Yastrzemski, for example, has been hot as of late. He homered in the SF Giants' win on Sunday, and he heads back to Fenway Park for the second time in his MLB career as the Giants take on the Red Sox starting Tuesday night in Boston.

The San Francisco Giants started off the homestand the right way with a 5-0 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park. Logan Webb was dominant on the mound, as he blanked the Arizona Diamondbacks over seven innings of work. Webb set a new career high, retiring 19 consecutive batters on his way to the win. Wilmer Flores and Mike Yastrzemski came up with huge hits late in this one to add on four insurance runs. Nick Ahmed had some nice moments in his revenge game against his former squad.

| 21 Jun 2024 | SF Giants Lose Rickwood Field Game as Pitching Problems Continue | 00:33:29 | |
The San Francisco Giants participated in an historic and memorable game at Rickwood Field tonight, and unfortunately came out on the losing end. Keaton Winn was roughed up again, highlighting the Giants' pitching woes, which are an underrated reason why the SF Giants have fallen to four games under .500. The Giants are at a point where they may need to make a change in their rotation in order to stay competitive in the National League playoff hunt. Only Logan Webb and Jordan Hicks are providing any kind of good production and consistency right now, and so many starters are injured. Heliot Ramos stayed hot, hitting a game-tying three-run homer after the Giants fell behind 3-0. Ramos' breakout remains arguably the best story of the year for the SF Giants so far, but tonight his homer came in what was ultimately a losing effort. The Giants, ravaged by injuries, also lost Mike Yastrzemski to left side tightness in the early stages of today's game.

| 29 Sep 2024 | POSTCAST: Giants Overcome Disaster Inning for 80th Win of the Season | 00:34:02 | |
The San Francisco Giants nearly let this one slip through their grasp after jumping out to an early 4-1 lead, but a big St. Louis Cardinals error bailed them out, leading to a 6-5 San Francisco Giants win. The error came on an eighth inning Brett Wisely bunt, and with a runner on first the St. Louis Cardinals sailed the ball into right field on the throw to first, allowing Tyler Fitzgerald to circle the bases and score the go-ahead run all the way from first. This came on the heels of a disaster seventh inning implosion by Erik Miller that allowed the St. Louis Cardinals to tie the game at five runs a piece. The win today puts the San Francisco Giants over their win total from a season ago, and gives them a chance to finish the season at .500 with a win tomorrow.

| 28 Dec 2023 | Report: SF Giants still 'big game hunting,' linked to Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger, Matt Chapman | 00:32:46 | |
While in many ways this San Francisco Giants offseason has already been defined by more disappointment, with top targets Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto both signing with the rival Dodgers, there's still plenty of time for the Giants to have a good winter. Unlike last year, when all of the top talent was gone after the SF Giants' deal with Carlos Correa fell apart over medical concerns, this year's free agent market has been slow moving and seven of the top 10 free agents, per MLB Trade Rumors, remain unsigned. MLB Network's Jon Heyman said today that the San Francisco Giants are still "big game hunting" after missing out on Ohtani and Yamamoto. Heyman names Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger, and Matt Chapman as players the SF Giants may be targeting. Susan Slusser of the San Francsico Chronicle also mentioned those three players on an appearance Tuesday on MLB Network. Snell, Bellinger, and Chapman are discussed at length. Each player has legitimate upside and/or a high floor, but each player also has questions about future performance. Snell and Chapman are entering their age-31 seasons, while Bellinger is only 28. While none of the three represent perfect fits for the Giants for various reasons, it's time for the team to take some risks as they seek to re-energize a bored and frustrated fan base, while also propelling the team to the postseason for what would be just the second time since 2017.

| 18 May 2024 | Inbox: Are SF Giants' Injury Woes a Blessing in Disguise? | 00:34:06 | |
The San Francisco Giants have had a suboptimal first quarter of their season. At the 45-game mark, the Giants are 20-25, certainly not what the organization expected after investing so much money into the 2024 roster. Injuries and underperformance from key players have been a big part of the team's early struggles. But are those injuries a blessing in disguise, as it means that young talents like Heliot Ramos and Luis Matos will get extended looks at the MLB level? Among the other questions asked and answered on today's edition of the Locked On Giants podcast are: What are Austin Slater’s stats since last June? It seems his game has been off since then. Is that a large enough sample size? Heliot Ramos has already matched his hit total this year. Has Ramos played himself to stay on the roster? Who do you think has more upside, Ramos or Luis Matos? If the team struggles into July, who’s a more likely trade piece: Mike Yastrzemski or Michael Conforto? We are close to 50 games, a true milestone in defining a team’s season. At this point, should the focus shift from chasing a wild card to developing and assessing our rookies?

The San Francisco Giants and the San Diego Padres got the 2024 MLB season started as the Padres spoiled a nice outing from Logan Webb on their way to a 6-4 victory. Logan Webb left after 6 innings pitched and the lead, but the San Francisco Giants bullpen couldn't slam the door on the Padres offense, as they posted 4 runs in the 7th inning. Despite a 9th inning home run from Michael Conforto, the San Francisco Giants were never able to recover.

The San Francisco Giants looked completely overmatched today as they fell 5-1 to the San Diego Padres in front of a raucous crowd at Petco Park. Mason Black got the start and continued the troubling trend that has plagued the San Francisco Giants starting pitchers, as it took him 34 pitches to get out of the first inning. Again, the San Francisco Giants failed to collect a single hit with runners in scoring position tonight. It never seemed like the San Francisco Giants had a chance to win this game.

| 14 Oct 2024 | San Francisco Giants' Roster Flexibility: A Strategic Advantage for 2025 | 00:34:20 | |
The San Francisco Giants are at a crossroads with their 2025 contractual obligations, including significant player options for Blake Snell, Robbie Ray, and Wilmer Flores.

Farhan Zaidi's strategic planning has left the Giants with roster flexibility, allowing for potential future moves.

The San Francisco Giants were shutout by the Milwaukee Brewers today as they drop the series at American Family Field, final score 6-0. Yet again, the San Francisco Giants offense looked absolutely terrible against an average pitcher, as Aaron Civale had the best outing of his 2024 season. Meanwhile Hayden Birdsong ran his pitch count over 90 before the end of the 4th inning. The San Francisco Giants are now seven games back from the Atlanta Braves for the final National League Wild Card spot.

| 31 Jul 2024 | POSTCAST: Ray Gives Up Three Homers as Giants Fall to Athletics | 00:32:51 | |
The San Francisco Giants fell to the Oakland Athletics 5-2 in the first game of the final "Bay Bridge Series" at Oracle Park. Robbie Ray surrendered three home runs in his second outing of the season over just 4.1 innings pitched. The offense wasn't much better, as the San Francisco Giants scratched across two runs late, which came when the game already felt out of reach. Meanwhile, the trade deadline came and went and Farhan Zaidi didn't fully commit to buying or selling, something that has hurt the Giants in past trade deadlines. The team's biggest move was trading away designated hitter Jorge Soler in a salary dump. Not exactly the type of move that directly sets the team up for future success.

| 23 Feb 2024 | SF Giants Alert: Keaton Winn's Elbow Injury Underscores Urgent Pitching Needs | 00:31:25 | |
The San Francisco Giants need pitching. And not just some back-end starter type. The Giants should go out there and sign Blake Snell or Jordan Montgomery (preferably Snell ... but more on that later). Right now, the SF Giants' projected starting rotation features Logan Webb, Kyle Harrison, Jordan Hicks, Winn, and Tristan Beck. Outside of Webb, there's a ton of risk and inexperience in that group. The Giants really like they young pitching that they have, but they project to open the season with a rotation that's full of question marks. Complicating matters is the fact that the Giants will start the season with Robbie Ray and Alex Cobb on the injured list. If the SF Giants were to sign, say, Snell, then their rotation once Cobb and Ray are back would be something like: Webb, Snell, Cobb, Ray, Hicks. That would be one of the better rotations in baseball—all the more reason to do it—but note that there is no longer room for any of the young arms. The thing is, however, that injuries and under-performance always happen and the Giant shouldn't not sign Snell or Montgomery because it would squeeze out younger players in the second half. Switching gears, J.D. Davis' comments on the Matt Chapman-to-the-Giants rumors are discussed. His comments are courtesy of Susan Slusser of the SF Chronicle, and they're very interesting. Davis takes the whole thing in stride, and even suggests that Chapman would be a good shortstop option in order to take some pressure off of the young Marco Luciano. Davis then says that next year, Chapman could slide back over to third and Luciano could play short if he proves to be a capable major league hitter and shortstop in 2024.

| 12 Jan 2024 | Could This Idea Be the Key to a More Engaging MLB Offseason? | 00:31:35 | |
The San Francisco Giants have been fairly active this offseason, but it sure doesn't feel that way. Such is the nature of the MLB offseason, where negotiations drag on needlessly to the point of absurdity. The Giants signed Korean star Jung Hoo Lee to a $113 deal; they traded for 2021 Cy Young winner Robbie Ray. The SF Giants also found their backup catcher in lefty-masher Tom Murphy. However, the pace of the MLB offseason is way too slow. And Giants president of baseball operations had a very interesting idea on how to fix it when he appeared on the Athletic's TK Show podcast with Tim Kawakami. Zaidi suggested a three to four week deadline for players to sign multi-year deals. That way, even if players aren't able to a land a multi-year deal, they'd still get a chance to cash in big on a one-year deal. It's an interesting idea that's worth seriously considering given how tedious the MLB offseason has become. It's not good for players, teams, or fans. Also discussed on today's crossover between Locked On Giants and Locked On D-backs: The state of the NL West. The Dodgers are obviously a powerhouse, particularly after adding Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Tyler Glasnow. The D-backs are the defending NL champs. The Padres are a huge wild card. Where does that all leave the San Francisco Giants? Left in the dust? On the cusp of contention? The Giants have some pieces and some upside, but they must continue to add players this offseason or they look like a fourth-place team.

| 13 Jun 2024 | SF Giants' Dramatic Walk-Off Sets Stage for Big Series Win vs. Astros | 00:32:15 | |
The San Francisco Giants have now won back-to-back series against Texas teams that are under-performing but dangerous. The Giants won two out of three against the defending World Series Champion Texas Rangers, and they followed it up with a really nice home series win against the Houston Astros, who are always dangerous despite their subpar record. The SF Giants set the tone for the whole series with a dramatic, inspiring comeback win in the opener. The Giants fell behind by two runs in the top of the 10th, only to answer with three runs of their own in the bottom of the frame. Austin Slater got the winning hit, narrowly missing a grand slam which would've been his first extra-base hit of the season. Slater got the game-winner against a right-handed pitcher. It was a big moment for a player who's struggled or been injured all season. Slater is also a player who's clearly turning things around, as he collected three more hits today in the series finale. Another player who's doing really good things is Brett Wisely. Wisely has changed his stance in the offseason, and the results speak for themselves. He's collecting hits on a regular basis, and has made huge strides from last year to this year in his in-zone contact rate, to the point where he is almost never swinging and missing at strikes anymore (in-zone contact rate of 95+% coming into today compared to a rate in the mid-70s last year). Hopefully the 25-year-old's breakout is for real, as Wisely is only 25 years old and the Giants have a history of finding diamonds in the rough. Wisely has brought stability to a position of need, doing a good job defensively at shortstop in the absence of Nick Ahmed and Marco Luciano.

| 11 Feb 2025 | Would MLB Fans Sacrifice 2027 for a Salary Cap? Shocking Poll & San Francisco Giants Impact | 00:33:51 | |
Are the San Francisco Giants ready for a seismic shift in Major League Baseball?

This episode unpacks the implications of a potential salary cap on the Giants' $176 million payroll, positioning them in the middle of the league's financial landscape. Host Ben Kaspick explores whether the Dodgers' spending spree is truly "ruining baseball" and how the Giants can navigate these turbulent waters. The discussion also touches on Farhan Zaidi's unsurprising move back to the Dodgers, adding another layer to the Giants' narrative.

The San Francisco Giants found a way to beat the Seattle Mariners today despite Blake Snell's shaky outing, final score 4-3.
