mccoveychronicles.comThe starting pitcher market rundown, trades editionThe Giants have the prospect capital and financial might to land a major starting pitcher — but will they? Should they?

Curious as to what pitchers the Giants could acquire via trade this winter? @bryanmurphy.bsky.social has you covered

mccoveychronicles.comThe starting pitcher market rundown, free agency editionNo, the Giants won’t be pursuing Tarik Skubal, but who might be good non-Skubal targets?

Mike Krukow forever ❤️

Horrible look by the Giants. Easily could add him to the roster by placing Roupp on the IL. But instead, gotta maximize playing time for Andrew Knizner in a lost season. Come on, Giants

SF Giants Bot@giantbot.bsky.social

🤖 Justice delos Santos Zach Morgan won’t be added to the roster today. So, he won’t make his debut after being with the team for about two weeks in some capacity. Just brutal for him to be here for so long and not make his debut.

mccoveychronicles.comGiants claim Camilo Doval LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLWe’re surprised too, Camilo. But, uh, not *too* surprised.

I think I’m reading into things too much because of how bad the season has been, but the Giants making space by optioning youngsters instead of placing Roupp on the IL feels cheap

Maria I. Guardado@miguardado.bsky.social

The Giants optioned right-hander Yunior Marte and recalled left-hander Seth Lonsway from Triple-A Sacramento.

It took them an entire offseason + a Spring Training + 159 games, but the Giants have finally spent some money on their bullpen www.mccoveychronicles.com/san-francisc...

I have two reactions to this Reaction 1: Let’s goooooooooooooooooooooooo Reaction 2: HAHAHAHAHAHA

Maria I. Guardado@miguardado.bsky.social

The Giants claimed Camilo Doval off waivers from the Pirates and transferred Blade Tidwell to the 60-day IL.

this is absolutely the funniest thing the giants could do. but it's also a really good move. credit where it's due.

mccoveychronicles.comGiants place Blade Tidwell on the IL with a UCL sprain, call up Braxton RoxbyAnother young pitcher lost to an elbow injury.

oof

Looks like another TJ. Yeesh.

SF Giants Bot@giantbot.bsky.social

🤖 SFGiants The #SFGiants made the following roster moves today: • RHP Blade Tidwell was placed on the 15-day Injured List today with a UCL sprain. • RHP Braxton Roxby (#90) recalled from Triple-A Sacramento.

Something I think about a lot is the Giants development team talking about how Davidson was so behind the curve as a JUCO guy, that he was basically learning baseball on the fly in the Minors. Really makes you think the sky is potential. Still so green

Mr. Martin@mrmartinoakland.bsky.social

Undrafted guy that has just balled so hard he’s become a top 100 prospect. Feels guaranteed to stick in the bigs

Bo Davidson is on pace to be the greatest player in MLB history

This post is unavailable.

I hate to analyze baseball like a 1960s scout, but Bo Davidson just looks like he’s gonna be a star. Approach, stance, aura, everything. Impossible not to believe in this guy.

Bo Davidson’s first career at-bat is. 9-pitch single. Incredible. This dude is gonna be here a loooong time

Anyone wanna catch Davidson’s debut?

Eamonn@richuncleskeletonn.bsky.social

I have an extra ticket for free if anyone wants it! @mccoveychronicles.bsky.social could you maybe reskeet please?

13 on the Injured List 7 traded 3 DFA’d 1 optioned

swmark78.bsky.social@swmark78.bsky.social

What about the players from the Giants opening day roster? 24 of them are somewhere.

The Giants 28-man roster based on status on Opening Day: On the Giants roster: 2 On the IL: 2 On someone else's MLB roster: 1 In DFA purgatory: 1 On the Giants AAA roster: 7 On someone else's AAA roster: 7 On the Giants AA roster: 6 On someone else's AA roster: 1 On the Giants High-A roster: 1

Bo Davidson and Bryce Eldridge vs RHP at AAA this season

Bo Davidson and Marcelo Mayer are both starting tonight. I'll give the Giants this much: they may be a can of steaming dog poop, but they sure giving us reasons to watch

This is suddenly a very interesting baseball game

SF Giants Bot@giantbot.bsky.social

🤖 Susan Slusser Marcelo Mayer tells me he’s coming off the IL today.

let's goooooo

SF Giants Bot@giantbot.bsky.social

🤖 Justice delos Santos Outfielder Bo Davidson, the Giants’ No. 5 prospect per Baseball America, will be in San Francisco today, per source. Team has yet to finalize if he’ll be activated, but it’s likely. Davidson was hitting .309/.389/.534 with 10 homers and 6 steals for Triple-A Sacramento.

I wonder if Bo Davidson gets called up today

or Marcelo Mayer
