The San Francisco Giants are looking to get back to the postseason for the first time since 2021, and they're banking on recent addition Willy Adames to play a big role in that pursuit. The Giants won the Adames sweepstakes over the offseason, signing the former Milwaukee Brewer to a lucrative seven-year $182 million dollar deal in December. The largest contract ever handed out by San Francisco, this signing marked the first time since signing catcher Buster Posey that the team has invested so much into one player. It's not hard to see why the Giants made the investment though, as Adames possesses all the tools to be the face of the franchise, and somebody you can build a championship winning roster around. In 2024 with the Brewers, he slashed an absurd .331/.322/.462 while slugging 32 home runs, and racking up 112 RBIs.

San Francisco Giants center Lee Jung-hoo is not expected to be out long term after imaging on his back came back negative. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Tuesday (U.S. local time) that an MRI on Lee's tight back did not reveal any structural damage. Lee underwent testing Monday after missing weekend action in spring training due to back discomfort.

Spring training stats should always be taken with a massive grain of salt. A day removed from Verlander's five scoreless innings against the Chicago White Sox, Ray allowed one run (none earned) over five frames as the Giants beat the San Diego Padres, 4-3, on Tuesday night at Scottsdale Stadium.

The Arizona Diamondbacks' start time for their Cactus League matchup against the San Francisco Giants in Scottsdale on Saturday has been moved up. The game's first pitch at Scottsdale Stadium is now scheduled for 12:05 p.m. The game's original first pitch was set for 1:05 p.m.

With spring training coming to a close soon, the San Francisco Giants are hoping for a better campaign in 2025. The Giants didn't make a ton of moves this offseason to improve, but the franchise still feels optimistic about the year. This winter, they made two notable additions in free agency, with Willy Adames coming in to help bolster a lineup that badly needed a spark. Slugging has been an issue for San Francisco for many years and Adames has the pedigree to help fix that.

San Francisco Giants fans will soon have a new way to watch their favorite team, as NBC has announced that Bay Area sports coverage will be added to their streaming service Peacock starting in the 2025 season. Per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle (subscription required), fans will be able to add an additional subscription onto their existng account which will grant them access to the games. Along with the Giants, Bay Area fans will also be able to to watch several other teams including the Golden State Warriors, San Jose Sharks, Sacramento Kings, and Athletics.

With spring training coming to a close for the San Francisco Giants, one of their free agent signings has been impressive so far. After the campaign was completed, San Francisco made it pretty clear that they wanted to begin to reduce payroll and get this team back on track. For the last three seasons, the Giants have finished under .500, and money wasn't spent all that well by the previous front office. Now, president of baseball operations Buster Posey has been tasked with trying to clean things up.

Willy Adames' first home run at Scottsdale Stadium this spring was a towering fly ball that at first looked like it would be caught on the outfield grass. The right fielder lifted his glove before even reaching the warning track, but the ball kept carrying and carrying in the thin air and landed on the Charro Lodge deck as Adames flipped his bat toward the home dugout. At Oracle Park, it would have been a routine fly ball, and Adames knows that's what he signed up for. In December, he became the first free-agent position player to ever take a contract of more than $150 million from the Giants, and he's just the third hitter, period, to sign a nine-figure deal with the organization.

Given the big splashes made by their National League West rivals this winter, the San Francisco Giants have flown under the radar entering the 2025 Major League Baseball season. With the Los Angeles Dodgers adding Blake Snell, Roki Sasaki, Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott and the Arizona Diamondbacks adding Josh Naylor and Corbin Burnes, the consensus is that the Giants didn't do enough to avoid another distant fourth-place season.

Once believed to have the deepest rotation in Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees have seen their starting pitching depth decimated by injuries this spring. The first blow came when reigning AL Rookie of the Year Award winner Luis Gil suffered a lat strain that is expected to keep him out for much of the first half. Then came the catastrophic announcement that ace Gerrit Cole would need to undergo Tommy John surgery, which will cause him to miss the entire 2025 season and likely some of 2026 as well.

According to MLB Trade Rumors, the 26-year-old centerfielder didn't play in a Cactus League game on Saturday due to back discomfort. The Giants stated his back injury was not due to playing in a game but due to his awkward sleeping position. Lee was batting .300 with two home runs and 15 RBIs in twelve games in the Cactus League.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Lee Jung-hoo is set to undergo an MRI exam on his back this week with the start of his sophomore campaign in Major League Baseball (MLB) just days away. MLB.com reported Monday (U.S. local time) that Lee was to have the MRI test later in the day. The Korean outfielder had been set to start Saturday but was a late scratch after waking up with back discomfort. According to the report, Lee's back tightness lingered longer than the Giants had expected, which prompted them to send Lee for imaging and a follow-up exam.

The San Francisco Giants entered the offseason widely expected to do a complete overhaul of their pitching staff and go after some of the top names on the market. The Giants have a heated battle playing out for the final spot. Unquestionably, Logan Webb, Robbie Ray, Verlander, and Jordan Hicks are locks, but the fifth spot is a battle largely between Kyle Harrison, Landen Roupp and Hayden Birdsong.

The first handful of starts Justin Verlander has made this spring have been, in a way, a bit of a mystery. Verlander's first three Cactus League appearances this spring took place at Scottsdale Stadium, a venue with no Statcast capabilities. Aside from pure velocity, the spin rate and movement patterns of Verlander's pitches have been unknown to the public. Verlander turned in another excellent outing as the Giants beat the Chicago White Sox at Camelback Ranch, 3-0, tossing five scoreless innings on 78 pitches with six strikeouts.

Every August throughout the 1960s, he would pile my sister and me into the car at 4:30 a.m. and drive us from our small town of 1,500 in rural Oregon to Candlestick Park on San Francisco Bay, where we watched the Giants—and the great Willie in his prime—at a Friday night game.
