GIANTS POSTCAST: Whisenhunt Gets WRECKED in Series Loss to Rangers
The San Francisco Giants fell 6-0 to the Texas Rangers today after Carson Whisenhunt got knocked around for four runs in just 3.1 innings in his 5th start of the season. Both Carson Seymour and Tristen Beck were tagged for runs in this one as well, and all three arms have yet to show that they have what it takes to succeed at the MLB level. There were not many bright spots for the San Francisco Giants today, but the best moment for the club today was Eddys Leonard picking up his first major leag

GIANTS POSTCAST: LATE RALLY Falls Just Short as Giants Get WALKED OFF ... Again
The San Francisco Giants were walked off for a major league-leading 10th time this season despite a key Bryce Eldridge two-RBI single to tie the game up in the top of the ninth inning, falling 5-4 to the Texas Rangers. Jung Hoo Lee, who has been playing very well lately, fell down at the warning track on a fly ball that he appeared to lose in the lights at Globe Life Field and allowed the game-winning run to score. Osleivis Basabe crushed his third home run in the last four games, and Blade Tidw

TRADE DEADLINE RECAP: Grading Buster Posey's Deadline
The MLB trade deadline is officially in the books, and the San Francisco Giants have a new look. In this episode, we take a step back and evaluate the deadline as a whole. Rather than grading every individual move, we look at the direction Buster Posey and the front office chose, the overall return the Giants received, and what these trades say about where the organization is headed. We'll discuss my initial thoughts on the deadline, Posey's comments afterward, and whether the Giants accomplis

GIANTS POSTCAST: GIANT Wins On and Off the Field on MLB TRADE DEADLINE Day
The San Francisco Giants had multiple wins today, both on and off the field, as they got a ton of deals done ahead of the MLB trade deadline and beat the Texas Rangers 5-1 at Globe Life Field. Logan Webb tossed six shutout innings, and Jung Hoo Lee cracked two home runs in the victory despite the team also saying goodbye to Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray, Tyler Mahle, Heliot Ramos, and Erik Miller today. The array of moves netted the club a solid lift to the farm system and signaled a real shift in dir

BREAKING: Giants Trade Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian to Phillies
Luis Arraez is officially headed to Philadelphia, and the San Francisco Giants may have landed one of the best pitching prospects moved at this year's trade deadline. Buster Posey sent Arraez and Caleb Kilian to the Phillies in exchange for 20-year-old right-hander Ramon Marquez and reliever Marty Gair. We break down why the Giants were so aggressive in targeting Marquez, what makes him one of the organization's top pitching prospects immediately, and why many evaluators believe San Francisco g

TRADE DEADLINE EMERGENCY: Giants Move Arraez and Kilian, Others Likely Out
The San Francisco Giants are officially sellers. Buster Posey made his biggest move of the deadline, sending Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for two pitching prospects, headlined by 20-year-old right-hander Ramon Marquez. We break down why the Giants were so high on Marquez, why many evaluators believe he could move quickly through the system, and why this trade could become one of the biggest wins of San Francisco's deadline. We also discuss the Giants' s

GIANTS POSTCAST: Roupp Gets ROCKED in FINAL GAME Before TRADE DEADLINE
The San Francisco Giants are once again proud owners of another three-game losing streak as they fell today to the San Diego Padres, 5-4, at Petco Park. Landen Roupp was unable to locate his pitches well in his 22nd start of the season, walking four and allowing six hits over just 4.2 innings of work. Offensively, the club was able to piece together some decent run production, but it was not enough to overcome the short and not very steady start from Landen Roupp. With today being the final game

GIANTS POSTCAST: Giants WALKED OFF for Ninth Time This Season
The San Francisco Giants were walked off for a ninth time this season on a Jake Cronenworth single to drive in Xander Bogaerts to give the San Diego Padres a 6-5 win at Petco Park. Things started to look good for the San Francisco Giants in the 8th inning after Osleivis Basabe roped a game-tying two-RBI double with two outs, but nobody else was able to touch Mason Miller after Basabe's extra-base hit. Meanwhile, trade buzz continues to swirl, the Harrison Bader story keeps getting worse, and rec

GIANTS TRADE DECISION: Gamble on Robbie Ray Pays Off, Deadline Buzz
According to Andrew Baggarly, the Giants explored trade possibilities before Ray's latest start but ultimately held off. The decision paid off as Ray delivered another strong outing while avoiding injury, potentially boosting his value just days before the MLB trade deadline. We break down why San Francisco was willing to take the risk, Jeff Passan's report that the Giants are open to paying down part of Ray's remaining salary, and what kind of return Buster Posey could now be targeting. We als

GIANTS POSTCAST: ROBBIE RAY SHINES in Final Start Ahead of TRADE DEADLINE
Robbie Ray shined bright today in what was likely his final start as a San Francisco Giant, as he spun six solid innings in a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres. It is widely expected that the team will move Ray before the fast-approaching trade deadline, but what can they realistically expect to get back for him, and where will he land when the dust settles? As for today's contest, Daniel Susac smashed his third home run in the last two days and drove in three of the San Francisco Giants' four r

GIANTS TRADE NOTES: Heliot Ramos Drawing Interest, Arraez Nearing Exit
Did Tony Vitello just say goodbye to Luis Arraez? Following another Giants win over the Brewers, Vitello delivered an emotional response when asked about Arraez, saying, "We don't have enough time here... He made literally everyone's day better. Every day." We break down why those comments sounded like a farewell, what they could mean with the MLB trade deadline just hours away, and whether the Giants are preparing to move one of their biggest trade chips. Plus, Giants GM Zack Minasian offered

GIANTS POSTCAST: TRADE CHIPS Show Out in UNLIKELY Series Win Over Brewers
The San Francisco Giants bludgeoned the Milwaukee Brewers today in a 16-3 win in the rubber match to secure their second consecutive series win on this homestand. Heliot Ramos and Luis Arraez combined for eight hits and five RBI in the win, and with the trade deadline just a few days away, a game like this might slightly boost the value of both hitters. Logan Webb was pretty solid in the win, as he gave the San Francisco Giants six innings of work while only giving up two runs. Also of note in t

GIANTS DEADLINE LATEST: Injuries Mount, Trade Talk Intensifies
The San Francisco Giants can't seem to catch a break. Just days before the MLB trade deadline, the Giants were hit with another wave of injuries. Casey Schmitt is expected to miss significant time with a torn meniscus, Harrison Bader is dealing with a scooter-related injury, and pitching prospect Trevor McDonald will undergo Tommy John surgery. We discuss what each injury means and how it impacts the Giants' plans for the rest of the season. Plus, the trade deadline continues to heat up. The A

GIANTS POSTCAST: MORE MISERY as Giants Get Blasted by Brewers
The San Francisco Giants came crashing back down to Earth today after a great win last night, falling 8-2 to the Milwaukee Brewers. Landen Roupp only lasted 3.2 innings tonight as he really struggled to put away hitters with two strikes, allowing many to work back in the count and eventually draw a walk or produce a hit. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants offense was miserable again, stranding six baserunners while going 0-3 with runners in scoring position. Bryce Eldridge provided the only po

GIANTS TRADE BUZZ: Rafael Devers Drawing Calls
The San Francisco Giants are winning games again—but is this the exact scenario fans have been hoping to avoid? As the trade deadline approaches, the Giants are once again flirting with a late-season surge that could complicate an otherwise clear direction. We discuss why these wins may not change the big picture, why Buster Posey still needs to stay focused on the future, and whether the Giants can avoid repeating a familiar pattern. Plus, Jon Heyman reports the Giants are receiving calls on

GIANTS POSTCAST: COMPLETE TEAM WIN as Giants Handle Brewers
The San Francisco Giants played what might have been their best brand of baseball in all of 2026 tonight in a 3-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers at Oracle Park. Tyler Mahle tossed 6+ innings of shutout ball, and the embattled bullpen provided three innings of no-hit relief. Even the ninth inning was spectacularly uneventful with the San Francisco Giants in the field, a rare but welcome relief after much of the season has been defined by chaos in the late innings. Grant McCray provided a two-run

GIANTS TRADE LATEST: Jung Hoo Lee Staying, Ramos Available
The MLB trade deadline is just one week away, and the San Francisco Giants are beginning to reveal who could stay—and who could be on the move. According to Bob Nightengale, the Giants are telling teams that Jung Hoo Lee is not available, while Heliot Ramos could be traded before the deadline. We break down what that report means, whether moving Ramos makes sense, and how Buster Posey may be approaching the biggest decisions of his first trade deadline running baseball operations.
