Sergio Romo's heartfelt take on final Giants-Athletics showdown amid relocation
The Giants 4-2 10th inning win was the last game the team will play in Oakland as the A's will be relocating after the 2024 season. The impending move has been hard on Oakland's fans. Former Giants closer Sergio Romo understands what the A's mean to the area as he recalled the special atmosphere when San Francisco played Oakland.
San Francisco Giants Star Prospect Already Flashing Game-Changing Potential
This has been an interesting year for the San Francisco Giants. Entering Monday, the Giants are 63-63, which puts them 10.5 games out of the NL West lead and four back of the final Wild Card spot. One way San Francisco tried to find a spark was by promoting one of their top prospects, Grant McCray, on August 14.
MLB rumors: Blake Snell's free agency plans get update as he dominates
The San Francisco Giants signed starting pitcher Blake Snell earlier this year in a deal that netted the two-time Cy Young Award winner less money than expected. The contract also contains an opt-out clause that allows Snell to move on from the Giants after the 2024 season. Now it appears the 31-year-old lefty will exercise his opt-out and test free agency again, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. Snell had a remarkable season with the San Diego Padres in 2023, leading the majors in ERA (2.25), ERA+ (187) and hits per nine innings (5.8).
Braves take another major blow, losing 3B Austin Riley for 6-8 weeks with broken hand
The injury-plagued Atlanta Braves have sustained another major blow, announcing Monday that third baseman Austin Riley will miss at least the rest of the regular season after breaking his right hand. Riley was struck Sunday by a 97 mph fastball from Los Angeles Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz in the first inning of Atlanta's 3-1 victory. Riley will miss six to eight weeks, which knocks him out through the regular season and likely into the playoffs should the Braves qualify. Atlanta held a two-game lead over the New York Mets for the final wild-card spot heading into a three-game series against the NL East-leading Philadelphia Phillies that begins Tuesday.
MLB rumors: Matt Chapman's Giants future gets update with opt-out approaching
Matt Chapman signed a three-year, $54 million contract with the San Francisco Giants just last offseason, but he could find himself on the open market again in just a few months. In his first season with the Giants, Chapman has put together a strong campaign (.245 BA, 19 HR, 61 RBI, 12 SB, .774 OPS) that has helped him restore some of the value he lost during his time with the Toronto Blue Jays. As a result, Chapman is expected to opt out of his deal this offseason, but he wants to stay in San Francisco, which is good news for the team.

San Francisco Giants 'Biggest Red Flag' Could Be Reason They Miss Postseason
The San Francisco Giants have done just enough all year to stay afloat. It'll be interesting to see how they play for the remainder of the campaign, as they're currently four games out in the National League Wild Card. Factor that in with the possibility of Blake Snell leaving in free agency this offseason, and there are a lot of question marks for the Giants as they move on. If San Francisco can sneak into the postseason, there's plenty of veteran talent to help them succeed when it matters most in October.

Facing lowly White Sox, Giants aim to move up wild-card race
Fresh off one of their most emotionally draining wins of the season, the San Francisco Giants will seek to avoid a letdown when they open a three-game interleague series against the visiting Chicago White Sox on Monday night. The Giants survived a tense finish to beat the Oakland Athletics 4-2 on the road Sunday, a 10-inning affair that completed the last edition of the annual Bay Bridge Series. By virtue of winning the finale of a 2-2 split, the Giants were able to pack the Bridge Trophy for permanent storage with the A's putting an end to the rivalry series with their pending move to Sacramento next season.
