New Giants and Departed Giants
New Giants pitching prospect Carson Ragsdale, acquired yesterday from the Phillies for reliever Sam Coonrod. He's tall. I have to be honest with y'all. This spring will mark four years of doing weekend posts for TWG, and it has never been harder for me to...
Giant New Years Resolutions

Examining Five New Rules and Their Future in 2021

Giants Sign Tromp to Major League Deal, Ten Other Players to Minor League Deals
by Greek Giant It turns out I will still be able to say "Chadwick Tromp" to my beloved from time to time. That's because the Giants signed the catcher to a deal a little over a week after releasing him. He is now on the 40-man roster but without a guarantee that he...
