Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants finally got back in the win column, but the bigger story may be what happened before the game. Buster Posey met with the media and addressed several of the organization's biggest topics, although he made it clear he would not take questions on the Pride Night controversy, he did discuss Logan Webb's future, the possibility of moving players with no-trade clauses, Rafael Devers remaining in the lineup, and the reality of a difficult season. While Posey didn't reveal much new information, his comments offered another glimpse into how the Giants are approaching an increasingly important stretch of the season. We break down Posey's media availability, what stood out, and whether the organization has provided a clear vision for where things are headed. Plus, Jung Hoo Lee delivered another huge moment and continues to strengthen his case for an All-Star selection. Casey Schmitt's breakout season also rolls on as the Giants search for building blocks for both the present and future. We also preview the latest matchup with the Athletics and discuss why the Giants still have work to do despite getting back on track with a win.

The San Francisco Giants were swept by the Miami Marlins, but the biggest story coming out of the series may have nothing to do with the final score. Rafael Devers has become the center of attention after reports surfaced that he refused to leave a game, creating another layer of controversy during an already frustrating season. We break down what happened, what it means for the Giants moving forward, and whether this is simply a one-time incident or a sign of larger issues within the organization. The Giants continue to slide in the standings, and the questions are becoming harder to ignore. Is this a roster problem? A clubhouse problem? Or simply the reality of a team that hasn't found enough answers over the course of the season? Plus, we discuss the fallout from the Miami series, where the Giants failed to capitalize against a beatable opponent and left town with even more uncertainty surrounding the direction of the franchise.

What happens if the San Francisco Giants miss the playoffs? It's a question we hoped would be unthinkable not long ago, but as the season enters a critical stretch, it's fair to ask what would actually be on the line. Would Tony Vitello face pressure in his first season? Would Zack Minasian's roster construction come under greater scrutiny? Could Buster Posey face his toughest decisions yet as the organization's leader? In today's episode, we take a closer look at the stakes facing the Giants and why the consequences of missing October baseball could extend well beyond the standings. Plus, Matt Chapman recently made it clear that he wants to be in San Francisco, raising another fascinating question: how powerful is a no-trade clause in today's game? We break down Chapman's situation, what it means for the Giants' future, and why his contract could play a major role in any discussions surrounding the club's direction. We also preview an intriguing series against the Miami Marlins, a team that has quietly played competitive baseball behind a surprisingly effective pitching staff.

The San Francisco Giants took down the Atlanta Braves in the second game of their doubleheader today, launching three home runs in Carson Whisenhunt's first MLB start of the 2026 season, final score 7-5 from Truist Park. The second game of this doubleheader was eerily similar to the first game, as both featured back-to-back blasts from the San Francisco Giants. Luis Arraez gave the San Francisco Giants a ton of run production today, driving in four of the team's seven runs. Carson Whisenhunt was pretty solid in his first start with the big-league club this season, as he tossed five innings while limiting the potent Atlanta Braves offense to just two runs. The bullpen was pretty shaky, but they held on just long enough to get the win.

The San Francisco Giants are approaching a critical trade deadline, but the latest reporting suggests their biggest problem may be easier to identify than solve. According to Robert Murray, expensive and underperforming veterans like Rafael Devers and Willy Adames could be extremely difficult to move, leaving the Giants with limited flexibility if they decide to reshape the roster. Meanwhile, one name continues to dominate trade discussions around the league: Logan Webb. Rival teams would love to acquire the Giants' ace, but multiple reports indicate San Francisco has no plans to move him. That creates a fascinating dilemma. If Logan Webb is staying, what exactly is the Giants' path forward? We break down the latest trade deadline landscape, which players could realistically be moved, and why Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray may remain the club's most logical trade candidates. Plus, we revisit the Rafael Devers trade one year later and examine how that blockbuster move looks today.

The San Francisco Giants lost the series to the Chicago Cubs, but the bigger question is what we actually learned about this team. Are Landen Roupp and Trevor McDonald beginning to come back down to earth after impressive starts, or is this simply part of the normal adjustment process for young pitchers? Meanwhile, Logan Webb looks every bit like the ace Giants fans remember, providing one of the few constants during an inconsistent season. We also discuss why Bryce Eldridge's timeline may have officially changed. The young slugger continues to look more comfortable at the major league level, and there are growing signs that the Giants may need to fully embrace what he can become over the remainder of the season. Plus, Matt Chapman is suddenly on fire. After a brutal stretch earlier this year, Chapman is hitting .414 with six home runs and 20 RBI this month. Could contenders actually have interest? We also take a look at Caleb Kilian's emergence and whether the Giants may have found an unexpected late-inning weapon as they continue searching for stability.

The San Francisco Giants couldn't get the bats going tonight against the Chicago Cubs, ultimately falling 5-1 at Oracle Park. Only two total San Francisco Giants players were able to record hits against the Chicago Cubs staff tonight, and the team only generated three at-bats with runners in scoring position. The pitching was also not very good as Landen Roupp couldn't make it out of the fifth inning, and Erik Miller gave up a three-run bomb to the first batter he faced in relief. The only bright spot from tonight was Bryce Eldridge, who keeps ripping the cover off the ball every time he steps in the box.

The San Francisco Giants finally produced a night worth cheering for as Logan Webb looked like his old self, spinning seven shutout innings and only giving up one hit in a 1-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The lone run in the game came via Victor Bericoto's first career major league home run. Keaton Winn got the San Francisco Giants out of two tight jams, one in the eighth inning and another in the ninth, to record his first career five-out save. The biggest takeaway from tonight is that Logan Webb is regaining his form, and the San Francisco Giants will have to seriously consider whether or not they should trade him before the deadline and fully commit to the rebuild.
