Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

The Giants' disastrous 2026 season is almost over, and ESPN isn't pulling any punches, giving San Francisco an F in his final grades for all 30 MLB teams. We break down whether that grade accurately reflects just how badly this season went and what has to change heading into 2027. Plus, Zach Morgan is back with the Giants and could help San Francisco tie an MLB record by becoming the 71st player they've used this season, another illustration of just how much roster turnover there has been. Finally, we dive into a reported pre-agreement with a 13-year-old international shortstop, what a pre-agreement actually means and why it's not as unusual as it sounds given the Giants' history with prospects like Josuar Gonzalez and Luis Hernandez.

The San Francisco Giants continued limping to the finish line today, falling to the Minnesota Twins 4-2 and losing their 14th series of the season in the second half. Cesar Perdomo pitched well enough to keep the San Francisco Giants within striking distance, but a costly throwing error by Christian Koss in the 7th inning directly led to the go-ahead runs for the Minnesota Twins. With one more series to play in the regular season, many questions remain about how the San Francisco Giants will look next season, and who will be pitching for the club.

The Giants are using the final games of a lost season to find out who deserves to stick around in 2027, and several young players are getting their opportunity to prove themselves. We break down which of San Francisco's late-season additions have done enough to enter the offseason with a legitimate chance at a roster spot and which players still have something to show. Meanwhile, the Giants' pitching injury problems continue, with Blade Tidwell likely headed for Tommy John surgery — another significant blow to an organization that has already lost several young arms. Plus, we take a closer look at Brett Harris after the Giants claimed the versatile infielder and examine whether he could become another useful depth piece moving forward.

The San Francisco Giants were one hit away from taking the lead in the ninth inning, but the clutch hit they needed evaded them all game long as they fell to the Minnesota Twins 3-2 tonight at Oracle Park. Anthony Molina was charged with the loss but pitched well enough for a win, spinning six solid innings while allowing only two runs. Bo Davidson, who made his MLB debut last night, picked up another hit today in a big moment in the 8th inning, and the kid looks like he belongs at the big-league level.

Bo Davidson has officially arrived for the San Francisco Giants. Davidson went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in his MLB debut, putting himself in some extremely rare company in Giants history. We break down what stood out from Davidson, the Giants’ win, the unfortunate injury to Blade Tidwell, and Marcelo Mayer’s debut. Plus, the Giants will finish the 2026 season without Bryce Eldridge and Jung Hoo Lee. Eldridge has been placed on the 7-day concussion IL after entering concussion protocol, while Lee lands on the 10-day IL with a groin contusion. We look back at what we learned from both players this season and what it means heading into 2027. Finally, it’s time for some Giants prospect watching. We dive into Baseball America’s latest prospect rankings, Scott Bandura joining the Giants’ MLB Pipeline Top 30, his development this season, and when some of San Francisco’s most intriguing prospects could realistically arrive in the big leagues.
