Chicago Blackhawks at Winnipeg Jets – December 2, 2023 Box Score | Recap | Video Highlights

Chicago Blackhawks at Detroit Red Wings – November 30, 2023 Box Score | Recap | Video Highlights

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, three major teams seem to have shifted their attention away from Shohei Ohtani, and indication that they have perhaps been told they're out of the running. Per Passan, the Mets, Red Sox, and Rangers are seemingly out on Ohtani. Those are three teams that were legitimate threats to land the megastar, which only increases the SF Giants' odds of landing Ohtani. Passan adds that the Dodgers, Cubs, Blue Jays, and Angels are known to still be in the running for Ohtani, and that the San Francisco Giants' status is "unknown." Per reports, Ohtani wants things kept as quiet as possible, so that's not necessarily a bad position for the Giants to be in. The Winter Meetings kick off in Nashville on Sunday. What's on the Giants' agenda on the offseason's biggest stage? Landing a superstar should be priority No. 1. Ohtani certainly would suffice. Yoshinobu Yamamoto reportedly won't meet with finalists until the week after the Winter Meetings, so don't expect his signing to go down in Nashville. The SF Giants would be wise, though, to improve their team to prove to Ohtani that they'd be in a position to win with him. It doesn't help that Korean star Jung Hoo Lee has yet to be posted, as he profiles as a strong fit for the Giants. Cody Bellinger is another who seems to fit well. Finally, Gabe Kapler landed on his feet. We learned today that the Giants' fired manager was hired as Assistant General Manager of the Miami Marlins under new President of Baseball Operations Peter Bendix, who was hired away from his position as General Manager of the Rays just weeks ago. Kapler joins several of his Giants coaches in landing on his feet after not being retained by the Giants. Kai Correa, Craig Albernaz, Andrew Bailey, Brian Bannister, Ethan Katz, and Donnie Ecker are among Kapler's initial staff with the Giants that now have prominent roles with other organizations.

According to MLB Network's John Paul Morosi, the San Francisco Giants "are set, they are devoting their whole heart and finances to landing one of Shohei Ohtani or Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the coming weeks." Talk about a juicy, tantalizing sequence of words! Morosi is a well-respected writer in the industry, not someone to be ignored. So his report about the Giants essentially pulling out all the stops to sign Ohtani or Yamamoto is fascinating and exciting. Yes, SF Giants fans have heard this before and have been let down every single time. Yes, that could very well happen again. Just because the Giants are "set" on signing one of these Japanese superstars, that doesn't mean they'll come away with either. But there are reasons that it could actually happen, despite common narratives to the contrary. Most consider the Dodgers the favorites to sign Ohtani, and it's easy to understand why. They have the financial resources, and they are perennial World Series contenders. However, in the eyes of Locked On Giants, Ohtani doesn't seem like the kind of guy who wants to take the easy road. Yes, winning is a huge priority, but it's important to keep in mind that the worst the SF Giants have been is mediocre. The Angels were bad with Ohtani (and Mike Trout). The Giants probably would've won around 90 games last year with Ohtani. So they're not as far off as people think. And they have clean books in the coming years, some really solid foundational pieces in Logan Webb, Camilo Doval, Thairo Estrada, and Patrick Bailey, and some very intriguing prospects in Kyle Harrison, Marco Luciano, and Luis Matos already at the big-league level.

How realistic would a Marcus Stroman, Pete Alonso, and Jung Hoo Lee offseason be for the San Francisco Giants? While it's obviously not exactly what fans want—namely, one Shohei Ohtani or potentially Yoshinobu Yamamoto—those three players would certainly be an intriguing mix of upgrades for the Giants. And each player seems easy enough to acquire and therefore it could be a realistic offseason for the SF Giants if they miss out on the top names available. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of Locked On Giants: What are the chances of the San Francisco Giants signing Marcus Stroman? Logan Webb, Alex Cobb and Stroman would make us a ground ball super rotation! What do you think happens with Luis Matos in 2024? He is blocked by a large OF corps ahead of him and the Giants are still adding. Full season in AAA starting, bench role, or trade?

The Giants are primed to go big. We've heard that before, and been let down time and time again. But it doesn't change the fact that they are, in fact, primed to go big. This very offseason. Despite SF Giants chairman Greg Johnson stating on numerous occasions the unpopular phrase that "the goal is to break even," even that is not a deterrent for the San Francisco Giants going huge this winter. The reason? Payroll flexibility. There's often a lot of strong feelings evoked when terms like "financial flexibility" are used. But in the case of the San Francisco Giants, it's worth explaining what it means and why it means they could easily sign a Shohei Ohtani and still "break even." In short, the SF Giants have very few payroll obligations for 2025, and for 2026-28, their only commitment is about $23 million annually to Logan Webb. After that, the books are completely clear. Say the Giants were to sign Ohtani to a ludicrous 12-year, $600 million contract. That would be a record-shattering $50M per year. The Giants would still be under $100 million in commitments for 2025 and beyond with that salary on the books. That's what's meant by payroll flexibility, and that (among many other reasons) is why the SF Giants are expected to be major players in free agency this year. There's no doubt they're pursuing top names. The only question is whether someone big will finally take their money and sign on the dotted line. And pass their danged physical.

The San Francisco Giants have absolutely no business putting all of their eggs in the Shohei Ohtani basket. Ohtani is by far the most impactful player in this year's free-agent class (although arguably not for 2024, when he'll be limited to DH duties), but who's next? Which player, in terms of regular season wins added, would help the SF Giants the most? That player could be Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a young, coveted ace from Japan. Or it could come the trade market with a player like Juan Soto or Mike Trout. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's Locked On Giants podcast: What is a bigger need for the Giants: pitching or hitting? Who do you prefer for the SF Giants: Cody Bellinger or Jung-Hoo Lee? Would either player alone make the Giants at least a wild-card contender? How much will it cost a team (like perhaps the SF Giants) to acquire Juan Soto when he reaches free agency after the 2024 season? What are the chances Joc Pederson will return to the Giants? Is Lars Nootbaar available and a fit for the San Francisco Giants? Other than Yoshinobu Yamamoto, which free-agent pitcher(s) are ideal fits for the SF Giants?

Get ready for a comprehensive recap of Fantasy Football from Thanksgiving with Wyatt on our "The Good, The Bad & The Boxscore" Weekly Recap with Wyatt Bertolone!

Last year, once the SF Giants' deal with Carlos Correa fell apart over medical concerns, the Giants were essentially left with a barren free-agent market because most of the best players had already signed. This year, the San Francisco Giants are reportedly going to put a full-court press on Shohei Ohtani. Both situations seem to suggest that this winter, the Giants should be aggressive in trying to make upgrades before Ohtani makes a decision, because it's hard to imagine him being too intrigued by the SF Giants' current roster. Other questions answered on today's mailbag edition of Locked On Giants include: Would the Giants trade for Mike Trout? What would a trade package look like for Juan Soto, Pete Alonso, or Mike Trout? Who would be the best fit for the SF Giants, and who is your preference? Will Farhan Zaidi break character and sign a pitcher for more than three years? How many extra wins would Shohei Ohtani add to the San Francisco Giants? Would he alone make the Giants a 90-92 win team? Compare his first year as a full-time DH vs. being a two-way player. Given the influx of third base options (J.D. Davis, Wilmer Flores, Casey Schmitt, Marco Luciano(?)) and a potential signing of Matt Chapman, does it make sense to trade Flores now while his value is high? Maybe for some bullpen and middle infield depth? And could they also package Michael Conforto/Mitch Haniger in there too? In a more general sense, can you explain how two defensive measuring systems like Defensive Runs Saved and Statcast Outs Above Average can differ so much on players like Pete Alonso? And when they do differ, which one do clubs favor? Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants are in desperate need of offensive upgrades. The problem? Besides Shohei Ohtani (and a few others a significant tier below), there aren't many attractive bats for the SF Giants to target in free agency. As such, the Giants may need to go the trade route in order to upgrade their lineup. Defense is also a need and a focus, not just ability at the plate. MLB Trade Rumors' Top 25 Offseason Trade Candidates list is parsed through. Which players are potential fits for the Giants, and why? There are certain players on the list, such as Juan Soto, who are generational talents at the plate, but liabilities in the field. Do those types fit what the SF Giants want and need? Or do the Giants need to target players with a more rounded skillset, those who can contribute at the plate while also contributing in the field. San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi has talked about the Giants' need to improve defensively in the outfield, particularly in center field. So players like Trent Grisham, Luis Robert, and Tommy Edman stand out in that regard. The Giants would also like to acquire some shortstop insurance in case Marco Luciano struggles, which again makes Edman a fit. Ha-Seong Kim is another. The versatility of both players in an added bonus. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

It's clear and obvious that the San Francisco Giants need to improve their roster after two straight extremely disappointing seasons in which they had designs on contending. But where, specifically, should the Giants improve? A position-by-position deep dive is made in an attempt to find spots on the diamond where the SF Giants ought to improve, with this year's free-agent class in mind. The Giants are set at a few positions, such as catcher with Patrick Bailey and second base with Thairo Estrada. After that, there is a lot of positional flexibility and potentially solid production, but a lack of impact talent. There's uncertainty at shortstop with Brandon Crawford a free agent and top prospect Marco Luciano still unproven. Matt Chapman, Cody Bellinger, and Jung-Hoo Lee are some of the only free-agent position players who stand out as potential fits. On the pitching side, however, the SF Giants are already in a strong position with Cy Young runner-up Logan Webb anchoring what figures to be a strong staff, per the Steamer projections. If the Giants make a serious upgrade at starting pitcher, perhaps they could trade from a surplus of young arms to improve positions on the diamond, where the free agent market is exceptionally thin.

The San Francisco Giants were transparent about their intent to tender contracts to all six of their arbitration-eligible players, and by Friday's deadline, they had done just that. In addition, the SF Giants avoided arbitration with Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater, agreeing to modest one-year deals for the 2024 season. Yaz has two years of team control remaining, whereas Slater is entering his final year under Giants control before reaching the free agent market. Speaking of the free agent market, the first major signing of the offseason recently took place, with the Phillies' Aaron Nola re-signing with the team for seven years and $172 million. That seems to be quite a strong deal for Nola, who'll be entering his age-31 season in 2024. So this contract will run through his age-37 season. In a market flush with really good starting pitchers, and the SF Giants seemingly shopping in that market, Nola's deal with his hometown team could mean the market is going to be quite hot and expensive. Perhaps the top starting pitcher is Yoshinobu Yamamoto, coming out of Japan and officially posted on Monday. Yamamoto has been dominant in Japan and is only 25 years old. He has been compared to peak Zack Greinke. The Giants reportedly covet Yamamoto, which is not a huge surprise given their clear intent to shop at the top of the starting pitcher market and the fact that Yamamoto is exceptionally young for a free agent. Yamamoto must sign with an MLB team within a 45-day window that begins early Tuesday morning. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Chicago Blackhawks at Nashville Predators – November 18, 2023 Box Score | Recap | Video Highlights

Shohei Ohtani is far and away the best free agent available in this class. Ohtani may be the best free agent ever. The San Francisco Giants are undoubtedly extremely interested in signing the face of the game, but the competition for his services will be extremely fierce. So, outside of Ohtani, who are some players that would represent a serious upgrade other than Ohtani? Most of the best players on the market after Ohtani are starting pitchers: Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Aaron Nola, Sonny Gray, Jordan Montgomery, Marcus Stroman, and others are all free agents who would represent real upgrades. Impact offense is tougher to find on the free agent market and trades could become necessary. Other questions and answers featured on today's edition of Locked On Giants include: How much torture are we as fans in for this offseason? How will the Alex Cobb injury affect our free agency outlook? Given that most teams are trying to court Ohtani, what moves (if any) do you think will happen before Ohtani signs? If you had to guess, do you think the goal is to sign Ohtani, Yamamoto, and Jung-Hoo Lee? Or do you think the SF Giants will shift the plan if they land Ohtani? Signing all three sounds crazy but when you consider their ages and the fact that signing Yamamoto and Lee probably helps with an Ohtani pursuit… Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants have a true homegrown ace in Logan Webb. Nothing better demonstrates that fact than Webb finishing second in the 2023 Cy Young Award voting. Webb finished behind Blake Snell, someone who's actually been linked to the Giants. Webb has been consistently excellent for three seasons, beginning with a breakout 2021. This year, Webb led the NL in innings and had a sparkling 3.25 ERA. Webb's five-year extension, which begins next year, looked like a great move for the SF Giants at the time and looks even better now. In other news, Jon Heyman of MLB Network said that the Giants are "in on everyone." He includes players like Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger, and Matt Chapman as players in whom the SF Giants are interested. Heyman is a relatively trustworthy reporter, although he has been known to be a bit of a mouthpiece for mega agent Scott Boras. And then we have Jim Bowden, a former MLB GM, saying that he believes the San Francisco Giants will make the best offer to Ohtani. But before Giants fans get too excited about that, it's worth pointing out that Bowden says what many others have said: Ohtani's No. 1 goal is winning. And while the Giants aren't in a horrible position, there are certainly teams that are better now and set up well for the future. And despite being a former GM, Bowden isn't the most reliable reporter so his comments should be taken with a grain of salt. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The San Francisco Giants' coaching staff under new manager Bob Melvin has finally been finalized. When the Giants announced most of their staff late last week, there were some notable omissions: they didn't having a pitching coach nor a bullpen coach. Today, those positions were officially filled. Bryan Price, longtime MLB pitching coach and former Reds manager, will be the SF Giants' new pitching coach, and Garvin Alston will be promoted from Triple-A to be the Giants' bullpen coach. In other news, today was the deadline for teams to add players to the 40-man roster to protect them from the upcoming Rule 5 Draft. The SF Giants made a somewhat surprising move by adding RHP Trevor McDonald, who's only pitched as high as A-ball. LHP Erik Miller and RHP Kai-Wei Teng were also added and figure to be in the pitching mix next season. The legacy of the late Peter Seidler is discussed last. Seidler, the owner of the San Diego Padres, died today at the age of 63. It's news that sent shock waves throughout the industry. Seidler is beloved in San Diego for putting his money where his mouth was after becoming the majority owner of the team after the 2020 season. The Padres have added all kinds of star talent since, and even though they didn't have a very good 2023, they still set a franchise record for attendance. RIP Peter Seidler, gone too soon.

Free agency is here, and once again, the San Francisco Giants find themselves in a position where they're looking to make a big splash to not only improve their team, but also invigorate a justifiably frustrated fanbase. Coming off two straight disappointing seasons, Giants fans want more excitement, more star power, and more winning. With that in mind, who are the top five free agents the SF Giants should pursue? It all starts with Shohei Ohtani, who figures to sign a record contract and reports indicate he could even make a decision before the early December Winter Meetings in Nashville. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's Locked On Giants podcast: Who do you predict the Giants will acquire this offseason? I've got Hoskins and Gray. What type of offensive players should the Giants be going for? Should we would look for more power, or rather someone who can hit for contact and get on base? Mike Yastrzemski Enjoyer: What positions do the Giants NEED to upgrade this offseason to get back to the playoffs? To improve those positions, what players do you think the Giants should sign/trade for? Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Chicago Blackhawks at Florida Panthers – November 12, 2023 Box Score | Recap | Video Highlights

The San Francisco Giants finally announced their new coaching staff under new manager Bob Melvin tonight. At least most of it, anyway. The big ticket additions: Ryan Christenson will be Melvin's bench coach, leaving former bench coach and interim manager Kai Correa's status in question. Matt Williams returns to the Giants and will be the third base coach, which pushes Mark Hallberg from third base to first base. This leaves Antoan Richardson's status in question. And finally, Pat "The Bat" Burrell joins the SF Giants' staff as co-hitting coach with Justin Viele. Viele's retention comes as somewhat of a surprise after two straight lackluster offensive seasons from the Giants under his leadership, ever since Donnie Ecker departed for the Texas Rangers. Pedro Guererro also returns as an assistant hitting coach. On the pitching side, things are far less certain. Director of Pitching Brian Bannister has already departed for the White Sox. Pitching coach Andrew Bailey's status is uncertain. All we know is that J.P. Martinez will return as an assistant pitching coach. What about important holdovers from Gabe Kapler's staff like Alyssa Nakken? Fortunately, Nakken will return for her fifth season as an Assistant Coach with the Giants. She been a popular figure in the dugout since her arrival, and she will forever be the first in-uniform female coach in MLB history. Taira Uematsu will also return as an Assistant Coach. Sadly, popular coach Craig Albernaz officially left the organization to join new Guardians manager Stephen Vogt's first-ever staff.

Free agency officially begun, and San Francisco Giants fans have questions. Realistically, who will the Giants land this offseason? We know that they're very likely to be in on the biggest names in free agency. That includes Shohei Ohtani. It includes all of the top starting pitchers—the strength of this class—including Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Aaron Nola, and several others. Matt Chapman and Jung-Hoo Lee also stand out as realistic fits for the SF Giants. Other questions asked and answered on today's Locked On Giants include: How concerning is it for the Giants pitching that Brian Bannister has departed and it seems Andrew Bailey likely will as well (reports say he wants to go close to family on the east coast)? We saw the hitting struggle after Donnie Ecker left. Thoughts? Who will be the Giants' primary 3B in 2024? J.D. Davis could easily platoon at first base with LaMonte Wade Jr. (probably best for him given how he wore down in the second half last year) & Casey Schmitt could use some seasoning at AAA to improve plate discipline. If not Chapman, what FA/trade acquisition? Can you give a percent chance of where you think Shohei Ohtani will end up between the Giants/Dodgers/other ? Now that Jorge Soler is opting out with the Marlins, how much interest do you think the giants would have in pursuing him? How will Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi getting an extension possibly change how aggressive the SF Giants be this offseason, with Zaidi now knowing he has three more seasons left?

At last year's General Managers Meetings, Farhan Zaidi was a popular interviewee as the industry anticipated the San Francisco Giants' president of baseball operations to make a serious run at reigning AL MVP Aaron Judge in free agency. The Giants did in fact pursue Judge and other marquee players last winter, but once again came home empty handed. Well, those meetings are back underway, and Zaidi did share some of the SF Giants' plans for the winter. Once again, like last offseason, Zaidi talked about the Giants' desire to get younger and more athletic. Last year, the Giants and Zaidi didn't really follow through on that promise, unless you count all of the minor league callups throughout the season. But free agent signings such as Michael Conforto and Mitch Haniger didn't really fall into that category and both had disappointing seasons. One player who did not have a disappointing season was Giants rookie catcher Patrick Bailey. Bailey was so good defensively that he probably deserved to the the Gold Glove Award at the position, but he was snubbed despite being a finalist, which is an honor in and of itself. Bailey was the best framer in MLB and his pop times were exceptional. The potential coaching staff under new SF Giants manager Bob Melvin is also discussed, with names like Matt Williams and Bryan Price being floated with regularity. Zaidi said the Giants' staff under Melvin should be finalized this week. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

The release of MLB Trade Rumors' annual Top 50 Free Agents with Predictions is always a very exciting time of year. It's usually our first look at concrete contract predictions for the top free agents—this year headlined by an unprecedented talent in Shohei Ohtani—and it's also fun to look at which players are "linked" (by virtue of the three MLBTR writers making predictions) to the San Francisco Giants. The contract prediction for Ohtani is huge, but still likely a lot less than many people would expect. The reasoning is discussed on the show, and MLBTR seems to have done a pretty good job nailing down what Ohtani's value might be. Whether or not the Giants can and will go to that level to land arguably the game's best player remains to be seen. Cody Bellinger, shockingly, is listed as the next-best free agent and is predicted to land a massive 12-year contract. That seems scary after the two miserable seasons he had in LA in 2021 and 2022. Here's the kicker: two of the three authors predicted the Giants would be the ones to give Bellinger the contract. Besides Bellinger, a number of the top free agents are linked to the SF Giants by the MLBTR authors, which makes sense given the Giants' recent efforts to land star talent and their clear need to do so.

It was a big day in baseball as option and qualifying decisions were due, and it was the official start of full free agency. For the San Francisco Giants, on account of them giving out so many short-term deals with options in recent seasons, were among the most interesting teams to watch today. When all and said and done, the final tally was that Michael Conforto opted to return for one year and $18M, Sean Manaea opted out of 1/$12.5M, Ross Stripling opted to return for 1/$12.5M, and the Giants decided to bring back Alex Cobb for $10M in lieu of a $2M buyout. The most borderline and potentially consequential decision was Conforto's. At $18M, it's a hefty price to pay given the very pedestrian season he just had. The SF Giants have also expressed interest in improving their outfield, which becomes all the more difficult with Conforto, Mitch Haniger, Mike Yastrzemski, Austin Slater, Luis Matos, Tyler Fitzgerald, and others all in the mix going into 2023. Manaea's decision to opt out may have surprised some, but it wasn't really all that surprising given his excellent performance after a rough first month-plus of the 2023 season. Stripling, on the other hand, never turned things around after a slow start and his choice to opt in was inevitable. The Giants' decision to retain Cobb on what was effectively an $8M decision was made a bit less clear when it was announced that Cobb underwent hip surgery that will sideline him for at least around six months. The Giants' overall commitments and payroll situation are now relatively clear, and those figures are discussed at length on today's show.
