4/01/25	San Francisco Giants Pitcher Predicted To Win NL Comeback Player of the Year. With the regular season underway for the San Francisco Giants, the franchise must be pleased with the early results. To start the campaign, the Giants are off a nice 3-1 start. Since San Francisco has been under the .500 mark for the last three seasons, getting over that hump and trying to compete for a playoff spot is the goal this year. After the offseason, the Giants were able to have an improved lineup thanks to the addition of Willy Adames in the middle of the batting order.

3/21/25	Giants' Justin Verlander drops honest Buster Posey admission. The San Francisco Giants are entering a new era in 2025. New shortstop Willy Adames is the headliner but changes to the rotation and upstairs have Cooperstown connections. “In his talks with Posey, Verlander found it refreshing to communicate with a decision-maker who valued qualities the analytics could not measure,” ESPN's Alden Gonzalez wrote.

3/19/25	Giants listed as surprise landing spot for Blue Jays 4x All-Star. The San Francisco Giants had a mixed bag of an offseason. They managed to sign Willy Adames and Justin Verlander, but also lost former Cy Young winner Blake Snell to the Los Angeles Dodgers. They're going to have a tough time contending in the National League West, especially with the San Diego Padres and Arizona Diamondbacks also standing in the way. However, it's never too early to discuss the trade deadline and what could take place in July. Mike Axisa of CBS Sports listed San Francisco as a potential landing spot for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. "I admit, this is a long shot, but I don't think it's impossible.

3/18/25	Adames was rare Giants free-agent target not scared off by ballpark. Willy Adames' first home run at Scottsdale Stadium this spring was a towering fly ball that at first looked like it would be caught on the outfield grass. The right fielder lifted his glove before even reaching the warning track, but the ball kept carrying and carrying in the thin air and landed on the Charro Lodge deck as Adames flipped his bat toward the home dugout. At Oracle Park, it would have been a routine fly ball, and Adames knows that's what he signed up for. In December, he became the first free-agent position player to ever take a contract of more than $150 million from the Giants, and he's just the third hitter, period, to sign a nine-figure deal with the organization.

3/15/25	Strong Spring From San Francisco Giants Offense Could Be Good Sign for This Season. It's a good time to review their spring training performance, noting who has stood out and who may be saving their hits for April. There is tempered optimism surrounding the Giants, mainly because they finished fourth in the NL West last year and others in the division imrpoved their rosters, too. The signing of Willy Adames can't be called quiet, and San Francisco has positioned themselves to compete for 162 games and challenge the rest of the teams in the NL West.

3/13/25	Forgotten San Francisco Giants Pitcher Could Be NL Cy Young Dark Horse. The San Francisco Giants are looking to prove doubters wrong this season. While they made some improvements to their roster, most notably bringing in Willy Adames and Justin Verlander in free agency, the reality is the Giants finished fourth place in their own division last year and don't seemed poised to take a huge step forward. One way San Francisco can exceed expectations is by getting improvements from the players who were previously on this roster. Jung Hoo Lee is back after his season-ending shoulder surgery.

3/07/25	Giants' Willy Adames issues brutally honest message to doubters. San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames has a message for the doubters of the team. The Giants are not necessarily considered to be a true contender, but Adames believes the ball club can make some noise in 2025. “It's been amazing,” Adames said of his time so far with the Giants. Adames signed with the Giants this past offseason. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/san-francisco-giants/...
3/06/25	SF Giants' Jung Hoo Lee shows off power again by homering in win over White Sox. Jung Hoo Lee's rookie season ended prematurely with a shoulder injury last May but the outfielder continued what's been an impressive return for the Giants in Thursday's 7-3 spring training win over the White Sox. Lee showcased his power with a two-run home run in the third inning, driving in shortstop Willy Adames to put the Giants up 3-0 early. It was Lee's second homer of the spring and his eighth hit in 20 at-bats. “I feel like the success I'm having right now in spring training is for sure a process that we've all gone through, not just by myself but with the team, with the trainers and the organization,” Lee said through team interpreter Justin Han.

3/05/25	Brewers Predicted To Lose NL Central Throne In 2025 Amid Mediocre Offseason. The small-market Milwaukee Brewers have endured a difficult offseason, during which fan favorites Willy Adames and Devin Williams joined other teams. Although Adames's signing with a bigger market club and Williams's being traded were expected this winter, Brewers general manager Matt Arnold could've done more to compensate for the losses. Despite being in the league's weakest division, the Brewers are no longer considered the front-runner to win the National League Central title this upcoming season. "Storyline to watch: The comeback attempts of outfielder Christian Yelich, who is trying to return from back surgery, and former ace Brandon Woodruff, who is attempting to make it back from shoulder surgery," The Athletic's Jim Bowden wrote Wednesday when outlining his predictions for the 2025 season.

3/04/25	Padres predicted to regress after underwhelming offseason. Already one of the strongest divisions in baseball, the National League West was the epicenter of Major League Baseball's offseason activity this winter. The San Francisco Giants signed slugging shortstop Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182 million deal. The Arizona Diamondbacks landed ace Corbin Burnes and All-Star first baseman Josh Naylor.

2/28/25	San Francisco Giants Prospect Nearing Majors Possesses Prodigious Power Potential. The San Francisco Giants were in desperate need of a power infusion to their lineup this offseason. Very little time was wasted accomplishing that goal as the team signed star shortstop Willy Adames to a seven-year, $182 million contract. There will be some pressure for the former Milwaukee Brewers standout to live up to as it is the largest deal in franchise history. One of the best offensive players at his position from a power standpoint, he is a major addition to the lineup. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants...
2/27/25	SF Giants' Encarnacion hopes to turn elite power into consistent production. The San Francisco Giants have been a below-average offense over the last three seasons, even when factoring in Oracle Park, but they enter this season with some legitimate — and much-needed — pop in their lineup. Willy Adames has twice hit at least 30 homers in a single season, totaling a career-high 32 home runs last season before signing a franchise-record contract. Matt Chapman hit 36 homers in 2019 and has hit 27 homers, exactly, in three of the last four seasons. Source: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/02/27/sf-giants-...
2/21/25	San Francisco Giants Superstar Receives Elite Ranking at Key Position. The San Francisco Giants have started spring training with some uncertainties as the new season is around the corner. The Giants' chances of making the playoffs looks really thin, even after making the addition of shortstop Willy Adames, who will definitely add hope for the Giants to climb out of the cycle of mediocrity they've been caught in the past few seasons. One game changer on the roster is third baseman Matt Chapman, whom the Giants signed last March on a one-year, $18 million contract that also featured an opt-out after the season. Before the season end, Chapman opted to stay with the Giants and worked out a six-year, $151 million extension. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants...
2/19/25	Adames, Ramos putting on show in early days of SF Giants camp. Spring training is the time of year when pitchers are well ahead of hitters. For Willy Adames and Heliot Ramos, that hasn't quite been the case. Adames set the tone on the first day of full-squad workouts by homering off right-hander Sean Hjelle during live bullpens, then hit two more off Logan Webb the next day. On Wednesday afternoon, Ramos stepped in the box in front of several dozen fans and took his turn to flex. Source: https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/02/19/adames-ram...
2/18/25	Adames Joins Giants, Excited to Team Up With Gold Glover Chapman. Willy Adames started spring training a while ago. “It gets to the point when you're practicing every day, it's like, 'I just want spring training to start,' you know, and then today was the first day,” Adames said. The addition of Adames was the centerpiece of San Francisco's offseason after the team went 80-82 last year. The veteran shortstop signed a $182 million, seven-year contract with the Giants in free agency, leaving Milwaukee after three-plus seasons.

2/17/25	Adames, Posey set tone for SF Giants' spring on first full-squad day. Willy Adames didn't need much time to excite the contingent of fans seated behind the first-base dugout at Scottsdale Stadium on the first day of full-squad workouts. In his first live batting practice session of the spring, Adames sent right-hander Sean Hjelle's second offering over the left-field fence and into the opposing bullpen. It was a glimpse of what the Giants hope Adames can provide over the next seven years. “Every time you touch the barrel this early in the spring is a great feeling,” Adames said with a smile.

2/15/25	Brewers' Jackson Chourio refuses to reveal goals for 2025 campaign. The Milwaukee Brewers open spring training as defending National League Central champions with a similar team. But the loss of Willy Adames and improvements from the Chicago Cubs have the Crew as an afterthought. Those variables put a lot of pressure on soon-to-be-21-year-old outfielder Jackson Chourio. Coming into his second season as a Brewers' outfielder, Chourio is keeping his 2025 goals close to the vest. “I have some goals,” Chourio told Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. “I'm not going to say. It's too early right now. But I have some [goals] I'm working hard to get to. I have some stats that I want to chase, but it's too early to say. I'm going to be quiet for the entire season.” Chourio finished Source: https://clutchpoints.com/brewers-jackson-chourio-r...
2/14/25	How Alex Bregman's $120 Million Deal With Red Sox Helps Brewers. The Milwaukee Brewers have won the National League Central in two straight seasons and certainly have a chance to do so once again in 2025. Milwaukee didn't do too much throughout the offseason, but it did tinker with the roster where it needed to. The Brewers needed to add an infielder after losing Willy Adames and needed some starting rotation depth. Milwaukee's trade of Devin Williams accomplished both of these tasks with Nestor Cortes and Caleb Durbin. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/brewers/news-feed/how-alex-...
