Brennan, 28, has played 269 games over four major-league seasons with the Cleveland Guardians, posting a career .267/.307/.373 slash line (90 OPS+) with 14 home runs and 19 stolen bases. We've liked him for some time, said general manager Zack Minasian. Plays the game really hard. Gritty, grindy type. Controls the strike zone, moves around the outfield mostly the corner outfield spots.

The Giants trimmed its surplus of young starting pitching on Thursday evening by trading right-hander Kai-Wei Teng to the Houston Astros in exchange for catching prospect Jancel Villarroel, according to The Athletic's Chandler Rome. By trading Teng, San Francisco creates an open spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Harrison Bader, who reportedly agreeed to a two-year, $20.5 million deal on Monday. The Giants have yet to officially announce the move.

Logan Webb couldn't hide his grin. In the leadup to the World Baseball Classic, the Giants will welcome Webb and Team USA for an exhibition at Scottsdale Stadium. With nothing on the line, who better to face the likes of Willy Adames, Matt Chapman, Rafael Devers and Bryce Eldridge than Webb? That matchup won't be in the cards. While Webb declined to say when he's scheduled to pitch for Team USA, he did share that he won't toe the slab against his teammates.

The Giants have built one of their stronger farm systems in recent years, a development made possible by an influx of players from Latin America. On Thursday morning, San Francisco strengthened that talent pool by officially signing shortstop Luis Hernandez, the top prospect of this year's international signing class, during a ceremony at the team's Felipe Alou Baseball Academy in the Domincan Republic. Hernandez reportedly received a $5 million signing bonus, the largest bonus of the 2026 signing class and the second-largest in franchise history behind only Lucius Fox ($6 million).

The Giants are in agreement with catcher on a minor league contract, reports Jon Morosi of The MLB Network. The Warner Sports Management client would lock in a $1.6MM base salary if he breaks camp and can opt out at the end of Spring Training if he's not on the MLB roster.

"doing fine."

While he originally signed with the Red Sox as a teenager back in 2016, Santos was flipped to the Giants organization a year later as part of the team's return for infielder Eduardo Nuñez. Santos spent four-plus seasons in the Giants' system before making brief appearances in the majors in both 2021 and 2022. He wound up pitching only 5 2/3 innings as a Giant before being traded again - this time to the White Sox in exchange for minor league righty Kade McClure.

The Giants announced Tuesday that they've signed right-handed reliever Jason Foley to a one-year, major league contract. The Wasserman client missed most of the 2025 season due to shoulder surgery and was non-tendered by the Tigers last month. ESPN's Jesse Rogers reports that Foley is guaranteed $2MM on the deal. From 2021-24, Foley was a frequently used high-leverage arm with the team's

While Addison Barger could also slot in one of the corners as well. Meantime, on the cusp of the big league roster they have Joey Loperfido and Jonatan Clase who both played in MLB in 2025, along with Yohendrick Pinango, RJ Schreck and Jace Bohrofen who could be pushing for their big league debuts with a strong showing in Spring Training.

Brendan Donovan has been one of the top trade targets for clubs seeking offensive help. The Royals, Mariners, Pirates, Guardians and Astros have all been tied to the lefty-hitting utilityman at points this offseason. Derrick Goold of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Giants have been in the mix for Donovan as well. Goold lists San Francisco alongside Seattle and Kansas City among the teams that have kept in touch with the Cardinals as they gauge the market. Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have also talked with the Cards about Donovan, though he's one of myriad star infielders whom Boston has considered.
