2026 San Francisco Giants Season Thread

A couple guys getting hype in Spring

i talked about him before but want to refresh bc I like this dude....

Landen Roupp, SP I posted a gif of him the other day. Our prospect. Looking good. With all the injuries, I can see him getting an opportunity if he continues to show this kind of promise.


Ethan Small, SP
27. Former #1 pick of the Brewers traded to us for cash this offseason. Maybe we can unlock something in him and with opportunities for SP injuries, he can capitalize?

Others from Baggarly/Athletic

Ismael Munguia — OF, 25, hurt in 2022... not on 40 man but could make a splash.

Spencer Bivens — RHP - 29, sinker baller, added late to spring but is a fun story. Dude is still working on his dreams trying to make it.

Hell no

Yeah that was always a long shot. Nick Ahmed having the edge on Luciano right now is more eye opening.

Matos having a spring tho. With a flash of power he didn't have last year.

Not surprising. Ahmed is a much better fielder and Luciano is really struggling at the plate. Once again he's dealing with an injury (hamstring) . I see another one of our former top prospects was sent to the minor league camp. Ramos. He just can't seem to make the jump from AAA. I'll be surprised if Luciano isn't sent to AAA as well. He needs to play to improve his fielding and hitting. It's hard to do that if you don't play every day.

Ahmed as a 1 year stop gap at SS works just fine.

There is a strong possibility we pick up Ha Seong Kim in FA next year and he could slot into SS.

Kim is real good friends with JH Lee and would make total sense as a multi year contract.

I still have hopes for Luciano at some point but he has trouble staying healthy. He can't get ny extended playing time .

I think he's a bust.

Kim is a free agent after the 2026 season. Maybe Adames.

I think Ahmed exceeds all expectations this szn
