The San Francisco Giants have signed 28-year-old outfielder Will Brennan to a one-year Major League contract, adding depth to their outfield ahead of Spring Training. Brennan, a left-handed hitter who spent the past four seasons with the Cleveland Guardians, is expected to be fully healthy after offseason surgeries. The move clears space on the 40-man roster by placing pitcher Rowan Wick on the 60-day injured list.
San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello took responsibility for his team's back-to-back shutout losses to open the 2026 MLB season. The Giants were blanked 7-0 by the New York Yankees on Wednesday and 3-0 on Friday. Vitello said a pre-season 'fire and brimstone' speech may have backfired.

The San Francisco Giants have secured Venezuelan shortstop Luis Hernandez, the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2026 international class, marking the second consecutive year they land Latin America's highest-ranked amateur. Despite tying for the lowest international bonus pool at $5,440,000, the Giants allocated the vast majority to Hernandez. This move reinforces their aggressive approach in the global market.
The San Francisco Giants may consider trading their top prospect Bryce Eldridge this winter following his underwhelming debut in Major League Baseball. Eldridge, a 21-year-old slugger, appeared in 10 games during the 2025 season, batting just 3-for-28 with 13 strikeouts. Analyst Joel Reuter suggests a potential deal if the team prioritizes Rafael Devers at first base.

The San Francisco Giants are among teams pursuing Japanese right-hander Tatsuya Imai, who was recently posted by the Saitama Seibu Lions of NPB. Imai impressed with a 1.92 ERA over 163 innings last season and could slot in as a No. 3 starter for the Giants' rotation. MLB Network's Jon Morosi called Imai the 'perfect player' for San Francisco.
