There’s still hope for the team as the tight wild card race in the American League could see them still make the postseason. As of Sunday, the team is a half-game ahead of the Minnesota Twins, who occupy the last wild card spot. The remaining 6 games will determine how their season ends.

A Linden, Calif., native, Aaron Judge grew up a San Francisco Giants fan. But that didn’t stop him from visiting the home of the Bay Area’s other team, the Oakland Athletics. Earlier this season, Judge said that he and his future wife, Samantha, went to the Oakland Coliseum for dates. He also remembers watching the Yankees there years before he would star for them, and the club invited the ...

The San Francisco Giants stayed hot on their final road trip of the 2024 MLB season with a 2-0 win over the Kansas City Royals on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium.

San Francisco Giants legend Buster Posey has played a big role in the organization since he decided to hang it up. Now a minority owner, the hope and expectation is for Posey to continue to do so. Having the all-time great speak with free agents should be a big help as the Giants look to land a star in the future. Posey was involved with San Francisco keeping Matt Chapman around, who recently signed a six-year, $151 million deal.

The Royals are reeling as the postseason nears. Here’s how KC managed to lose Sunday and complete a winless six-game homestand.

Coming off their most disappointing home stand of the season, Bob Melvin had a directive for his club. “We realized that we can't just let the season end,” the Giants' skipper said before their series finale against the Royals. On the same road trip they were mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, there's a strong case to be made the Giants are playing their best baseball of the season.

The San Francisco Giants are set to miss the playoffs this season, and with there being some talk about president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi being dismissed, there are two names that have been rumored as potential replacement targets. “If the San Francisco Giants dismiss Farhan Zaidi, president of baseball operations, at the season's conclusion, look for them to reach out to former Miami Marlins GM Kim Ng and Minnesota Twins GM Thad Levine as potential replacements,” Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports. “The Giants have missed the postseason in all but two years since winning the 2014 World Series.”

The San Francisco Giants won't be finding their way into the postseason this year, but there are a couple reasons to believe that there are better days ahead for the team. One of the main ones is the fact that the team managed to lock up star third baseman Matt Chapman on a six-year, $151 million contract extension earlier this month, and it sounds like one of their former players in Buster Posey played a big role in convincing him to stay in town. Posey played his entire career in the MLB with the Giants, and ended up becoming a minority owner with the team after he retired. It was reported that Posey played a big role in convincing Chapman to extend his contract with San Francisco, and he managed to do that by telling the third baseman that the front office was committed to spending big this offseason in an effort to build around him.
