Trent Harris was a rare bright spot in a carnage-filled Giants bullpen: called up in August, he overcame a 7.71 ERA start to finish 2026 with a 2.31 ERA, 27 strikeouts, seven walks, five holds and two saves. He could be a 2027 piece. 🔒
The Giants have cut six 40-man spots so far but still sit at 50 including the 60-day IL, so roughly 10 more cuts are expected. Predicted casualties: Ryan Walker, Tristan Beck (5.21 ERA in 2026), Brett Harris and Duncan Davitt. Speculation, not confirmed moves.
Yankees reportedly won't retain Brian Sabean as a special assistant, and speculation says a Giants reunion is the natural next step. Nothing is official, but he'd fit among Buster Posey's advisers, which already include Dusty Baker. 🔄
Super Two cutoff landed at 2.133 years, so Randy Rodríguez and José Butto clear it for arbitration. Reliever Joel Kuhnel misses by a hair, which spares the Giants one arbitration case as they weigh his future.
Grant McCray went to the Mariners on waivers, leaving Trevor McDonald as the lone remaining player from the Giants' 2019 draft class. The 40-man roster is down to 35, with 16 players still on the 60-day IL. Offseason cleanup is underway. 🧹
After a 97-loss 2026, the Giants' offseason priority should be pitching: starters ranked 24th in strikeouts (704), and the Webb-led rotation sagged. The lineup, built around Devers, Chapman and Adames, likely stays put in this odd rebuild. 🔧
Luis Arraez, traded from the Giants to the Phillies on Aug. 3 with Caleb Kilian, has elected free agency. The four-time All-Star hit .310 with 185 hits, six homers and 64 RBIs in 151 games. He's now open to any suitor this winter.
Giants need rotation help, and all five 2026 Cubs starters hit free agency. Speculation pegs Clay Holmes, David Peterson, Matthew Boyd and Shota Imanaga as practical fits behind Webb, Roupp and Houser. Not flashy, but plausible. 🎯
MLB Trade Rumors (Giants): Giants Outright Andrew Knizner
Brett Harris' September audition with the Giants didn't land: the 28-year-old hit just .158 in 15 games after being claimed off waivers from Boston. He bounced through three organizations in 2026, and his future in San Francisco looks uncertain. 📉
Devers-to-Yankees chatter persists, but it's speculation, not reporting. A Bleacher Report idea floated Luis Gil and Carlos Lagrange for him. Giants would likely need an immediate impact arm, and parting with their best hitter looks unlikely. 🤔
The Giants are hiring a Director, Integrated Performance, based in Papago, AZ. The role reports to the Sr. Director of Player Development and would oversee strength, nutrition, biomechanics, mental skills and sports science. Front-office org chart, now with more disciplines under one roof. 🧠
Offseason clock is ticking for the Giants: the CBA expires December 1, with a lockout possible. Before then, they must reactivate 60-day IL players and decide on Rowan Wick's club option, and the Rule 5 protection deadline is November 17. 🗓️
Giants reassigned assistant pitching coach Christian Wonders to Director of Pitching, a post Brian Bannister once held. Justin Meccage is the lead pitching voice, Frank Anderson slides to assistant, and the shuffle trims the mixed messaging. 🔧
Eric Haase's 2026 was a short stay: a April call-up, .162/.235/.365 with four homers, including a grand slam against Milwaukee, then released July 23 for Susac's return. Giants may need veteran catcher depth next year. 🧢
Offseason purge begins: the Giants lost Grant McCray (Mariners) and Braxton Roxby (Nationals) on waiver claims, and outrighted Foley, Gage and Basabe to Triple-A. 16 players still need reinstating from the 60-day IL by Monday, so more cuts loom. ✂️
Giants' first roster purge trims the 40-man to 52 (with IL players still counted). Gage, Basabe and Foley cleared waivers and went to Triple-A; McCray and Roxby were claimed by the Mariners and Nationals. Still 12 over the limit, so more cuts loom. ✂️
Giants cleared 40-man space: Matt Gage, Jason Foley and Osleivis Basabe were outrighted, while Grant McCray (to Mariners) and Braxton Roxby (to Nationals) were lost on waivers. With 16 players on the 60-day IL, roster spots were needed. 🧹
The Giants began trimming the 40-man roster after a 65-97 season, outrighting Matt Gage, Jason Foley and Osleivis Basabe to Triple-A Sacramento. Grant McCray (Mariners) and Braxton Roxby (Nationals) were claimed on waivers. 🧹
Giants cleared five 40-man spots Thursday. Gage, Basabe and Foley cleared waivers and were outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento, while McCray (Mariners) and Roxby (Nationals) were claimed. More cuts loom as injured players return from the 60-day IL. ✂️
