Grading Buster Posey

Before the trade deadline, it looked as though Buster Posey had made big, splashy additions to the roster, but they weren't necessarily the best for the on-field product. There was also some growing anger among the fan base about how he's handled a few situations this season.  After the trade deadline — where the Giants look to have added a good amount of young talent — how are you grading Posey now? How has that view changed (if at all) since the deadline? Aug 6, 2026

Giants Return For Arraez Have Eye-Popping Stats

The Giants traded Luis Arraez to the Philadelphia Phillies this morning for a pair of High-A pitchers in Marty Gair and Ramon Marquez. Both have been assigned to Eugene. Both pitchers are high-strikeout guys, which is tantalizing.  Gair: 36 IP, 4.50 ERA, 66 strikeouts as a reliever. Marquez: 59 IP, 1.68 ERA, 93 strikeouts, with 11 of his 12 outings be starts.  Gair is not ranked in the Giants' system, but Marquez is now San Francisco's No. 7 prospect. His 41.9% strikeout rate this season is higher than MLB-leader Jacob Misiorowski (40.6%), granted in the low minors.  Gair has a 44.6% strikeout rate himself, which is also impressive, though given his reliever status he doesn't get ranked as highly. Certainly two pitchers to keep an eye on in the system! Aug 3, 2026
