DEC 15 // Photo Rob Corder // San Francisco, CA
The San Francisco Giants are gearing up for an exciting start to the new year with the launch of the Giants & KNBR FanFest Tour 2024. Departing from the traditional one-day event in San Francisco, this revamped series will travel across Northern California, making stops in Sacramento, San Jose, and Napa. The goal is to bring Giants players, coaches, alumni, and the beloved Lou Seal directly to fans in their local communities. The tour, beginning on January 20 in Sacramento, promises extended opportunities for fan interaction, including autograph sessions, Q&A sessions, exclusive merchandise, and more. Notably, Giants ace Logan Webb is scheduled to appear in Sacramento. The tour will also feature a Spring Training-inspired Open House at Oracle Park on March 9, offering fans unique access to restricted ballpark locations and interactions with Giants alumni. The use of "new technology" during the San Francisco leg adds a modern touch, allowing fans to interact with players in Scottsdale during the Spring Training game. Overall, the Giants aim to enhance the FanFest experience, catering to fan preferences and strengthening the connection between the team and its community.

Giants' Offseason Gamble: Mike Krukow Predicts Major Moves to Secure Star Power
DEC 8 // Photo Rob Corder // San Francisco, CA
The San Francisco Giants are gearing up for a major offseason move, according to Giants color commentator Mike Krukow. With new manager Bob Melvin emphasizing the need for a middle-of-the-order bat, Krukow predicts the Giants are ready to make a substantial addition to their lineup this winter. The team's offensive struggles in the 2023 season have highlighted the necessity for a star player, and Krukow believes the Giants are in a position to secure one. While Shohei Ohtani remains a top target, the availability of other notable hitters like Cody Bellinger and Matt Chapman adds intrigue to the offseason. Krukow is confident in the Giants' determination to make significant moves, emphasizing that the fanbase demands it and the team's minor league system is now ready to support such acquisitions. With about $70 million in tax space, the Giants are poised to take a big swing in the upcoming weeks, making the offseason a crucial period for the team's future success.

Giants Secure Agreements with Yastrzemski and Slater in Arbitration Deals

The San Francisco Giants have reached agreements with two arbitration-eligible players, Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater, with contracts exceeding the projections. Yastrzemski secured a 1-year, $7.9 million deal, marking a 29.5% raise from the previous season, while Slater received $4 million, a 25% increase. Despite declines in their "value" (wins above replacement) from the previous season, these deals align with the arbitration system, providing raises for positive contributions. Yastrzemski is recognized for his defensive prowess and offensive impact, while Slater, despite potential age and injury concerns, remains a valuable veteran platoon player. The Giants also face decisions on four other arbitration-eligible players—Thairo Estrada, Tyler Rogers, J.D. Davis, and LaMonte Wade Jr.—with contracts expected to be finalized around the start of Spring Training.

Franchise Legend Matt Williams Returns to Giants as Third-Base Coach
NOV 17 // Photo Wikipedia // San Francisco, CA
The San Francisco Giants' new manager, Bob Melvin, has assembled a coaching staff with strong Bay Area connections, and one significant addition is franchise legend Matt Williams, who will serve as the third-base coach. Williams, a five-time All-Star and former Gold Glove winner, played the first decade of his career with the Giants and left in a controversial trade in 1996. Excited about the opportunity to return to the organization, Williams expressed a sense of coming home and full circle. The partnership between Melvin and Williams, who played together for the Giants and worked together in Oakland, is characterized by a deep understanding and shared mindset. Williams also praised the work ethic and talent of free-agent third baseman Matt Chapman, whom he worked with during their time with the A's, and expressed openness to Chapman joining the Giants, emphasizing his contributions to the team's desired style of play. Williams will focus on strengthening the Giants' defense in his role and getting to know the team's infielders during the offseason and Spring Training.

Giants Legend Brandon Crawford Plans to Play in 2024, Explores Free Agency Options
NOV 8 // Photo All-pro reels // San Francisco, CA
Beloved San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, with 13 big league seasons under his belt, is planning to play in 2024, as confirmed by his agent Joel Wolfe. Despite spending his entire career with the Giants, Crawford is open to considering offers from other teams as multiple organizations have expressed interest. Crawford, a three-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove award winner, has faced declining production in recent seasons, struggling both offensively and defensively. While he holds a significant place in Giants history, fitting him into the team's future plans poses a challenge for the front office focused on developing young and athletic talent. President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi has indicated Marco Luciano as the starting shortstop, potentially making Crawford's return uncertain. Wolfe mentioned that Crawford might be open to playing multiple positions to extend his career, and while reports initially suggested a definitive decision on playing in 2024, later updates indicated that Crawford and Wolfe are navigating free agency with an "open mind," gauging interest from teams without a final decision as yet.

Legendary manager Dusty Baker has announced his retirement after the Houston Astros' defeat in the American League Championship Series. Baker, who managed the Astros for five successful years, including winning the World Series in 2021, plans to remain in the game in some capacity. With 2,183 career wins, Baker finishes seventh all-time among managers. He began his baseball career as a player in 1968, becoming a star with the Los Angeles Dodgers and winning a World Series in 1981. After his playing career, he transitioned to coaching and managing, including a decade-long tenure with the San Francisco Giants, where he won three Manager of the Year awards and led the team to the World Series in 2002. Despite some postseason shortcomings, Baker's impact on the game is substantial, and his retirement marks the end of an era in baseball.

Shohei Ohtani, the singular talent of baseball, is set to redefine the game's salary landscape with a historic 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. This mind-boggling deal not only makes Ohtani the highest-paid player ever but also reshapes the Dodgers' financial strategy.

Ohtani's move to the Dodgers aligns with his priority to win, transitioning from the Angels to a franchise with a solid playoff history. The deal raises questions about Ohtani's pitching future, recovering from elbow surgery, and whether he can maintain his two-way star status. As the Dodgers gear up for a potential pitching overhaul to complement Ohtani's DH role in the upcoming season, the ripple effects of this record-breaking contract will echo across the baseball world, marking a monumental chapter in Ohtani's legendary career.

While on a date night with his fiancée, Sheila Hill, enjoying the Rockettes and Radio City, King received three crucial phone calls from general managers Brian Cashman and AJ Preller, along with Yankees manager Aaron Boone.

Despite the unusual circumstances, King's successful track record and pivotal role in the trade underscore the dynamic nature of player transfers in the MLB.

Surprising many, they outshone teams like the Oakland Athletics, Kansas City Royals, and Colorado Rockies, each with better odds at 18.3%. This marks the Guardians' first-ever top pick, a feat achieved after finishing the 2023 season with a 76-86 record. The draft lottery shuffle also revealed the Cincinnati Reds picking second, followed by Colorado, Oakland, and others. While projections point to notable prospects like JJ Wetherholt and Nick Kurtz, the lottery's unpredictable nature adds an element of excitement to the upcoming draft.

MLB initiated a winter meetings charity auction in honor of Bean and Catalina Villegas, MLB's Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, who is battling breast cancer. Despite facing his diagnosis since September 1, Bean, known for coming out as gay in 1999, maintained a positive spirit and chose not to burden Lovullo during the Diamondbacks' successful late-season run. The baseball community now unites to support Bean and Villegas through the charity auction benefiting Stand Up To Cancer.
