Let's preview the San Francisco Giants for 2026.

Up next on Fantasy Baseball Today.

Welcome to On the Beat, our mini team preview series here at Fantasy Baseball today.

I am Frank Stample, joined by John Shea, baseball writer at the San Francisco Standard.

Make sure to give them a follow on X at John Shea Hey.

And let's just start off with the San Francisco

Giants off season. They kicked things off by surprising some bringing in Tony Vitello as their

manager. They brought in some pitchers to help with the rotation, Tyler Malley and Adrian

Hauser. They recently signed Harrison Bader to a two-year deal. Also just brought in Luis a rise on a one-year deal.

It has been a solid off-season.

I still think they need some help in the bullpen.

But what are your thoughts on where the Giants stand right now?

Well, it's a great question, Frank, because the fans are kind of calling out for more,

but they never spent

more than $12 million on any individual edition. They took passes on guys like Kyle Tucker,

Edwin Diaz, both of whom went to the Dodgers and Bellinger, and all these big names kind of

came and went for Amber Valdez still

out there. And boy, would he look good in this rotation with Logan Webb and Robbie Ray up

top there and fill it out any way you want? But this is a 500 team the last few years, 500-ish.

And after Buster Posey spent big on Willie Domas Lashke, the last few years, 500-ish.

And after Buster Posey spent big on Willie Dhamis last year and then traded for Rafi Devers in June, fans, I think, were ready for another big spending explosion, which never came.
