The New York Mets are gearing up for what could be a thrilling 2025 campaign, and the anticipation is reaching […]

One final look at Spring Training.

Christian Koss was 14 years old when Buster Posey hit a grand slam off Cincinnati Reds right-hander Mat Latos in the 2012 NLDS, but he still remembers exactly where he was. Koss was born in Riverside, grew up in Southern California and went to UC Irvine. The family was drawn to the team's colors, and it certainly helped that Koss spent his childhood watching Bonds and then a dynasty.

Game 1 of 162 for the Cincinnati Reds marks the beginning of what should be one of the most exciting seasons in recent memory.

The worth of Major League Baseball teams is in the billions, and in the spirit of the national pastime's Opening Day Forbes has released the values of all 30 teams in 2025. Rounding out the top 5 are the Boston Red Sox ($4.8 billion), Chicago Cubs ($4.6 billion) and San Francisco Giants ($4 billion). Surprisingly, the Los Angeles Angels come in at No. 10, worth a modest $2.75 billion considering the team hasn't finished higher than third place since 2017.

The San Francisco Giants were only hanging around in their Opening Day win because of Heliot Ramos' two-run homer.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Heliot Ramos | Katie Stratman-Imagn Images The Giants will tie a strange, longstanding MLB record on Opening Day. by: Karl Rasmussen Posted: Mar 27, 2025 / 02:10 PM EDT Updated: Mar 27, 2025 / 02:10 PM EDT SHARE The San Francisco Giants are taking on the Cincinnati Reds on Opening Day Thursday as the 2025 MLB season commences. When first pitch is thrown, the Giants will have made some rather unorthodox MLB history. 2025 will be the 19th consecutive season that San Francisco starts a different player at left field on Opening Day. It's a streak that dates back to 2007, which was Barry Bonds's last season in MLB. They'll tie the longstanding record held by the St.

Giants Fans Unhappy with New Uniforms

Twenty-eight of 30 teams took the field Thursday as the regular season began stateside.

Heliot Ramos laughed earlier this week and nodded. Yes, the young Giants outfielder said, he was well aware that he would be added to the list, but he's hopeful somebody else isn't answering that question next March. Ramos is in left field as expected at Great American Ball Park, meaning the Giants are starting a different left fielder in their opener for a 19th consecutive season. Last year, Michael Conforto became No. 18, but he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the offseason.

A confession: This column was supposed to be about what the San Francisco Giants – the Bay Area's only remaining big-league team — will do this season. What will “BusterBall” — the type of game the Giants will play under new director of baseball operations Buster Posey — look like? The Giants went to spring training wanting to play “good, crisp, fundamental” baseball. The Giants will win 54 games, lose 54 games, and do one or the other in the other 54.

No one ever expected the Giants to find another Barry Bonds to play left field. When the Giants open the season this afternoon at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Heliot Ramos will be their 18th consecutive different left fielder since Bonds made his final Opening Day start in 2007.

Missing the final week in Arizona with a balky back didn't keep centerfielder Jung Hoo Lee off the Giants' Opening Day roster, but in somewhat of a surprise, infielder Christian Koss will be on the bench in Cincinnati instead of outfielder Grant McCray or infielder Brett Wisely. Veteran Sam Huff will open the season as the backup catcher and infielder Casey Schmitt, who is out of options, also made the 26-man roster the Giants released Wednesday night. The Giants will open the season with 13 pitchers and just one left-hander, Erik Miller, in the bullpen.

It's the first day of baseball season. Here's how you can watch and listen to the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds in Columbus.

The 2025 Major League Baseball season is here, kicking off a six-month regular season into the postseason. These are the stars to watch.
