Written about him
Seven more Giants signings, graded from the day each one reached the majors
The second half of the 2025-26 class: Caleb Kilian and Jared Oliva, selected to the opening-day roster on March 25; Eric Haase on April 21, when Daniel Susac went to the injured list; Gregory Santos on April 29; Wilkin Ramos and Buddy Kennedy on June 1; and Andrew Knizner, signed to a major league deal on August 11 after Susac's kneecap fracture. Graded as of each selection date on need, fit, price and risk: Kilian B, Oliva C+, Haase B-, Santos C+, Ramos B-, Kennedy B-, Knizner B. Their result grades follow at the All-Star break and at season's end.
The Giants made five trades in two days. Graded on August 3, one of them is a C+
A process grade asks whether a club made the right trade at the right price at the right time on what it knew that day, and the answer does not change when the players do. The five Giants deadline trades, graded as of August 3, 2026: Tyler Mahle to Atlanta for Anthony Molina, C+; Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian to Philadelphia for Ramon Marquez and Marty Gair, A-; Robbie Ray to San Diego for Miguel Mendez and Joniel Hernandez, B+; Heliot Ramos to New York for Henry Lalane and Kaeden Kent, B; Erik Miller and Carlos Gutierrez to Boston for Marcelo Mayer, A-. Every source is dated August 2 to August 4. The result gets its own grade when the season ends on September 27.
At the All-Star break, the Giants' winter regrades to a D+. Only Arraez went up
The mid-season regrade of the sixteen 2025-26 Giants signings, as of the All-Star break on July 14, 2026, off each player's line through that date and nothing later. Arraez, an All-Star at .330/.369/.460 through 402 plate appearances, moves from a B+ to an A. Bader, at .170 in 111 plate appearances and on the injured list, moves from an A- to a D. Houser is a C-, Mahle a D+, Kilian a B-, Hentges a B-. Brennan, Oliva, Ramos and Kennedy, all off the 40-man by the break, are D-minuses. Knizner, signed in August, has no mid-season grade. The class, a C+ at opening day, regrades to a D+. The season-end regrade follows September 27.
The Last Giants Team To Hand Out This Many Debuts Kept Exactly Half Of Them
San Francisco has given fourteen players their major league debut in 2026, the most in any season since 2008 and the second-most in the twenty-two seasons from 2005 on, counted off the league's own full-season roster and debut dates. Buster Posey told the San Francisco Chronicle that the point of the last month is getting a look at players the club would not otherwise see. The 2008 club, which finished 72-90, handed out sixteen debuts and eight of those men played for San Francisco again the following year. Across ten previous debut classes the share who came back ranges from 44 percent to 100 percent, and neither the size of a class nor the age of the men in it separates the high years from the low ones. Two of this year's fourteen are already gone: Wilkin Ramos and Eddys Leonard, whose entire San Francisco career ran seven days from debut to designation. Turner Hill, 27, has taken more plate appearances than anyone else in the class since August 22. One take filed.
San Francisco Sold Everything It Was Allowed To Sell
The Giants moved Mahle, Arraez, Ray, Ramos and Erik Miller and got eight players back, one of whom matters. What they did not move is the story: Adames and Chapman each hold a full no-trade clause, which means the salary relief everyone was pricing was never actually on the market. Plus an honest accounting of six deadline calls filed here on Sunday, two of which were right.
