Patrick Bailey had a Fielding Run Value of +31, the most in a single season since 2018.

The NL Platinum Glove goes to Fernando Tatis Jr., who was worth +9 FRV.

Can confirm that Garvin Alston will not return for next year’s coaching staff.

@susanslusser.bsky.social had it first.

The Giants will now be looking for a new pitching coach as J.P. Martinez heads to Atlanta to become their bullpen coach.

How SF Giants’ Bailey got even better as a defender — and turned in one of the best defensive seasons ever Patrick Bailey won his second Gold Glove Award after improving at blocking pitches to eliminate a weakness in his game

Patrick Bailey entered ‘25 as the game’s best defensive catcher. Still, he had a glaring weakness — a transformed weakness into a strength.

“… the amount of changes he can make so quickly is incredible to work with.”

How SF Giants’ Bailey got even better as a defender — and turned in one of the best defensive seasons ever Patrick Bailey won his second Gold Glove Award after improving at blocking pitches to eliminate a weakness in his game

Patrick Bailey wants a monopoly on the Gold Glove Award.

After one of the best defensive seasons ever, his ambition isn’t outlandish.

On Bailey, who got even better in ‘25.

“The conversion was, ‘This isn’t about winning one, it’s about winning 10.’”

Who could join Vitello on SF Giants’ coaching staff next season? Bench coach Ryan Christenson and third-base coach Matt Williams will not return for the 2026 season

One of Tony Vitello’s first big tasks as manager will be assembling his coaching staff.

There will be several holdovers, but the Giants won’t just run it back.

And there’s a certain first-base coach who could make a lot of sense to add.

www.mercurynews.com/2025/11/04/w...

The Giants decline Tom Murphy’s $4 million club option. He’s a free agent.

He only played 13 games after signing before the 2024 season.

Logan Webb led the majors in innings and the National League in strikeouts, but he isn’t a finalist for NL Cy Young.

What’s ahead for SF Giants after hiring new manager Vitello? The Giants’ top priority this offseason will be bulking up on its pitching depth

The Giants have their manager. The Dodgers have their dynasty.

The offseason is here, so here’s a look at what’s ahead.

SF Giants’ Bailey, Webb named 2025 Gold Glove Award winners Bailey and Webb become the first battery to win the award in the same season since Adam Wainwright and Yadier Molina in 2013

Patrick Bailey and Logan Webb become the first battery to win the Gold Glove Award in the same season since Yadi and Waino in 2013.

"So, it’s a really cool accomplishment and I’m super excited about it.”

www.mercurynews.com/2025/11/02/s...

Logan Webb on Tony Vitello: "I'm super excited. He seems like he has a ton of energy. He's very smart. He brings a ton of passion. ... I think it's going to be a healthy energy boost to our team and our clubhouse. I think he's very smart too."

How Posey landed on Vitello as SF Giants’ new manager Tony Vitello was introduced as the 40th manager in franchise history on Thursday

It wasn't easy for Tony Vitello to leave Knoxville. He said it would've have to be "a certain set of circumstances" for him to leave.

So, how'd Buster Posey and the Giants lure Vitello away from Tennessee?

“They took their time, they gave me space."

www.mercurynews.com/2025/10/31/h...

Despite lack of professional experience, SF Giants’ Posey has ‘full confidence’ in Vitello Buster Posey praised Tony Vitello’s leadership qualities, willingness to ‘ruffle some feathers’

Tony Vitello sat behind home plate for Game 7 of the 2014 World Series.

Buster Posey was, well, literally behind home plate.

The Giants have about .500 since that night. Now, Posey is tasking Vitello with leading the Giants back to prominence.

Anything important happening today?

Giants win, 5-4.

The Giants didn't play a very fundamental game. Hayden Birdsong walked five, they went 2-for-9 with RISP and they cost themselves three times on the bases.

They won anyways. They're still undefeated since the shakeup.

They're 36-28.

SF Giants’ Verlander inches closer to returning, Adames set for day off Verlander is currently on the 15-day injured list with a right pectoral soreness

Justin Verlander is nearing his return from the injured list. What does that mean for Kyle Harrison?

Plus, a scheduled off day for Willy Adames.

www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/06/s...

Willy Adames will receive an off day on Sunday, which will give him two days of rest with Monday being an off day.

Justin Verlander threw ~35 pitches in his live bullpen. The next step is seeing how he feels tomorrow.

Kyle Harrison will throw a side tomorrow. He’s doing fine.

Looks like Justin Verlander just wrapped up a live bullpen. We’ll get an additional update on him pregame.

SF Giants designate Wade amidst flurry of roster moves Wade had a .167 batting average with one homer over 50 games

On Tuesday afternoon, Buster Posey said "we’re trying to exhaust all options."

On Wednesday afternoon, Posey exhausted some options — and made his first truly difficult roster move in the process.

www.mercurynews.com/2025/06/04/s...

The Giants are shaking things up:

LaMonte Wade Jr. and Sam Huff DFA’d

Christian Koss optioned to Triple-A

Dom Smith signs a one-year MLB deal

Daniel Johnson and Andrew Knizner selected from Triple-A

Jordan Hicks was placed on the 15-day IL (retroactive to June 2) with right great toe inflammation.

RHP Sean Hjelle has been recalled.

Along with Bryce Eldridge, Buster Posey confirmed with reporters that Trent Harris is headed to Triple-A Sacramento as well.

I can confirm that the Giants are promoting Bryce Eldridge to Triple-A Sacramento, per source.

@susanslusser.bsky.social had it first.

The Giants have scored 30 runs over their last 15 games.

The last time they scored 30 runs (or fewer) in a 15-game stretch was from June 23, 2014 to July 8, 2014.

LaMonte Wade Jr. is day-to-day with a right hand contusion. His X-ray was negative.

LaMonte Wade Jr. got hit in the hand with a 95 mph four-seam fastball from the Padres' Stephen Kolek. He initially stayed in the game to run, but he's now out of the game.

Casey Schmitt will take his place.

Justin Verlander is scheduled to throw a bullpen at Oracle Park on Tuesday.

SF Giants’ top prospect Eldridge enjoying his time in native Virginia, but he knows California is calling “All you have to do is be patient, and when he gets to the major leagues, he’s going to be a complete player,” former Giants star Will Clark says of top prospect Bryce Eldridge.

Bryce Eldridge has seen most of Will Clark’s YouTube highlights. That includes the time Clark started a brawl against the Cardinals.

In their time working together, Clark has tried to impart a simple message to Eldridge:

“People are scared of him.”

The Flying Squirrels play about 100 miles from Bryce Eldridge’s hometown.

He’s enjoying the time home, but he knows California is calling.

I caught up in Eldridge in Richmond, Va., where we talked defense, his relationship with Will Clark and more.

How SF Giants’ Doval returned to form, pitching with ‘joy’ Doval hasn’t allowed an earned run in his last 19 appearances.

Camilo Doval is taking back over as the Giants’ closer. My story from last week on how Doval found his form — and got back to pitching with joy.
