According to Bill Madden of the NY Daily News, Scott Boras set the mark for SP Blake Snell at 9-years, $270M.
After learning Snell’s price, the
#SFGiants
and Yankees made a “desperation pivot” to Jordan Hicks and Marcus Stroman, respectively.
UPDATE: Blake Snell is now considering short-term deals with opt-outs, similar to Bellinger’s deal with the Cubs, per
@JonHeyman
Heyman says the Yankees and
#SFGiants
are “heavily involved”
BREAKING:
#SFGiants
and DH/OF Jorge Soler are in agreement on a three year deal, per
@susanslusser
Specific contract details to come. Giants land some major Soler Power by the bay, with 36 HR in 2023.
Worth noting that Marco Luciano did come out of the game in Sacramento earlier.
If Luciano is recalled, Mark Mathias does have experience in LF to help supplant the OF loss
Top-prospect 1B Bryce Eldridge has been named the Giants’ minor league Player of the Year by Baseball America.
116 games across four levels, .289/.372/.513, 27 2B, 23 HR, 91 RBI, 59 BB, 132 K, 6 SB, .885 OPS
Ball four never felt so good…
Walks from the rooks Luis Matos and Casey Schmitt (!!!) and a base hit from Pat Bailey set the table for Joc to “walk” off
BREAKING: RHP Mason Black will make his MLB debut tomorrow, says Bob Melvin.
Pennsylvania native will start the series finale against the Phillies.
#SFGiants
UPDATE: According to
@extrabaggs
on the
@timkawakami
show, SP Blake Snell will get $30M on a one-year deal, if that’s all he gets, and “the Giants are weighing it, and they might go into the [luxury] tax and do that.”
RUMOR: Bidding on FA Shohei Ohtani has surpassed $500M, with rumors circulating that the
#SFGiants
are preparing a $600M offer for the slugger
After the conclusion of Winter Meetings yesterday, there is strong speculation that Ohtani will decide on a team this weekend
UPDATE: Giants No. 15 prospect RHP Landen Roupp will make his first appearance this spring on Thursday vs the Dodgers, after Kyle Harrison.
Roupp finished with a 1.74 ERA in Double-A last season.
“Somebody named Patrick Bailey…”
Learn the name.
Pat Bailey throws out the speedy Starling Marte with a great tag by Casey Schmitt to help out the Mets away!
Tonight will be RHP Keaton Winn’s first career start in MLB.
There is no restrictions on his usage after being built up this past weekend. Winn will act as a usual starter rather than a bullpen game.
Patrick Bailey picked up his first MLB hit in the 8th with two outs, and Bryce Johnson followed with a bunt single
Bailey may have sparked a rally with his first career hit for the

Bob Melvin has announced the starters for the season-opening three-game series in San Diego:
RHP Logan Webb
LHP Kyle Harrison
RHP Jordan Hicks
Padres starters are all TBD
BREAKING:
The
#SFGiants
are planning to call up SS Marco Luciano, according to
@PavlovicNBCS
After just six games in AAA Sacramento, Luciano could make his MLB debut on Wednesday
🚨Snellzilla No-No 🚨
Blake Snell reaches the 9th for the first time and finishes his first career no-hitter!
18th no-hitter in Giants’ history (first since Chris Heston at NYM, 2015)
#SFGiants
UPDATE:
The Giants are planning to call up slugger OF Jerar Encarnacion on Friday in Cincinnati, per
@extrabaggs
.
Encarnacion began the year in the Mexican League and previously played for the Marlins. In 33 games at AAA this year, Encarnacion has hit .352 and 10 HRs.
Sabin Ceballos has only hit 4 HRs as a pro, but he has plenty of pop. He hit 18 HRs in final collegiate season at Oregon.
Ceballos, 21, was a 3rd round pick in 2023, and is slashing .259/.353/.707 in High-A this season. A player who could definitely grow.
#SFGiants
UPDATE:
SS Marco Luciano and C/OF Blake Sabol are with the Giants in San Francisco tonight. Expect them to claim the open active roster spots.
Scary moment:
#Brewers
SS Willy Adames was struck by a foul line drive by Milwaukee’s Brian Anderson while sitting on the bench
After a brief stoppage of play, Adames went to the clubhouse and likely will not return to the game
#SFGiants
UPDATE:
No. 1 prospect 1B Bryce Eldridge has been promoted from High-A Eugene to AA Richmond.
Eldridge, 19, hit .335/.442/.618 with 12 HR, 41 RBI, 35 BB, 52 K, and a 1.060 OPS in 48 games in Eugene.
He had the highest OPS in the minor-leagues in August (1.232).
Per Bob Nightengale, the Giants are still the favorites for Blake Snell, despite recent rumors of the Astros being involved. Yankees and Angels also in contact.
Susan Slusser says she has heard Snell is “50-50” weeks ago and nobody has backed off of that
Positive outing for Spencer Howard, who figures to be a candidate for a rotation spot early in the year.
Nick Ahmed and Jung Hoo Lee also continued their hot starts.
ICYMI: Jorge Soler’s wife posted this photo last night, seemingly confirming that Soler passed his physical and an announcement will come soon.
Soler is in the building in Scottsdale today.
Despite the suspended play, Logan Webb was outstanding tonight (and probably would have gone back out for the 8th)
