Coming into the 2024 NFL regular season, the talk of the NFL in terms of rookies set to play on the professional level was all about the six quarterbacks that were taken in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, which was a league record. The bulk of that conversation was about the […] The post Malik Nabers Has Big Shift In Betting Odds For OROY appeared first on The Cold Wire ..read more

  The San Francisco Giants already have the kin of an MLB Hall of Famer on their roster with Mike Yastrzemski, who is the grandson of MLB legend Carl Yastrzemski and has been a staple in the team’s outfield since 2019. He now has company and is no longer the only offspring of a legend […] The post Son Of Baseball Hall Of Famer Signs With Giants appeared first on The Cold Wire ..read more

  San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Blake Snell got off to a brutal start to the 2024 season after spending nearly the entire offseason on the open market and waiting to sign a free-agent deal until March 27th, but he appears to once again be rounding into form after Saturday’s 15-strikeout performance against the Colorado […] The post Blake Snell Is Drawing Trade Interest From The Yankees appeared first on The Cold Wire ..read more

(Photo by Ralph Freso/Getty Images)   The San Francisco Giants have been looking for star-level players for a few years now. After their successful 2021 campaign in which they won the NL West, they have had a foundation to compete if they added some power to their roster. They tried with Aaron Judge and Carlos Correa, and were able to sign Blake Snell, Jorge Soler, Jung-Hoo Lee, and Matt Chapman ahead of this season. At 33-34, however, they still need a bona fide star, a player who can carry the team and take it to the postseason and beyond. That player, according to insider Tim Kawakami ..read more

(Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images)   The San Francisco Giants just lost top starter Blake Snell for at least a few weeks with a groin strain. It’s yet another obstacle in a really forgettable season for the reigning NL Cy Young award winner, who has a 9.51 ERA in 23.2 innings in 2024 so far. Thanks to his agent’s advice, he didn’t sign until March 19, and put himself in a position to fail by waiting so long to commit himself to a team. His spring training started very late, he hardly faced any hitters before that point, and everything has fallen apart since that moment. Now, he is ..read more

(Photo by Joe Sargent/Getty Images)   Blake Snell signed a two-year deal worth $62 million with the San Francisco Giants. He rejected more lucrative offers before spring training, looking for a specific amount of money that teams just wouldn’t give to him. He seemingly got some bad advice from his agent and instead of signing a deal well in excess of $100 million in time to get a normal spring training, he waited too long, teams solved their situations, and he ended up getting less money and ruining his pre-season preparation. He didn’t face a hitter until very late in the spring, having ..read more

However, the Golden State Warriors are no longer the team to beat in the league, and not even one of the greatest players of all time could lead them back to the promised land. That’s why he’s got some free time on his hands, and he made the most of it by visiting Oracle Park to watch the San Francisco Giants taking on the New York Yankees (via YES Network & Yahoo Sports).

(Photo by Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images)   The San Francisco Giants have been forced to place left-handed starter Blake Snell on the 15-day injured list with a left adductor strain. There is a chance he needs more than the 15 days on the shelf, given the place and the nature of the ailment. One has to think Snell has been battling with the injury for at least a few days, because it’s not normal to see him struggling as he has. Of course, his spring training was abbreviated because he signed very late in the offseason, in the second half of spring training. Still, he has made three start ..read more

(Photo by Ralph Freso/Getty Images)   The San Francisco Giants did everything in their power to bring in some impact talent in the offseason. They were able to sign Jung Hoo Lee, Jorge Soler, Matt Chapman, Jordan Hicks, and Blake Snell, the latter being secured very late into spring training. Snell didn’t open the season on the active roster, but worked hard to stay ready and eventually joined the staff. The early results to his Giants career hadn’t been encouraging, but just when he was starting to build up some stamina and feel comfortable on the mound, an injury will take at least a fe ..read more

(Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)   The San Francisco Giants had to make one of the toughest decisions of their year this past weekend. Once deemed by some as Buster Posey’s successor, Joey Bart’s fall from grace has been a sad story. On Sunday, the Giants decided to remove him from their 40-man roster, designating him for assignment. “Joey Bart, No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 draft, has been DFA’ed by Giants,” MLB insider Jon Heyman tweeted.
