The New York Giants enter the 2025 NFL preseason looking to rebound after a dismal 3–14 campaign in 2024, finishing fourth in the NFC East and missing the playoffs.

How will the Giants do this season?
Ralph Vacchiano predicts that the Giants will finish the year at 6-11. Here's Vacchiano:
"The good news is the Giants should be a better team than last year. The bad news? They've got the toughest strength-of-schedule in the league, at least based on last year's records. Even worse, it's toughest at the start. The Giants play 10 games against playoff teams overall, and six of those come in the first eight weeks of the season. By the time they get to New Orleans in Week 5, the Giants will have played at Washington, at Dallas and at home vs. the Chiefs and Chargers. It'll be tough for them to avoid an 0-4 start. Given how tough their division is, plus a home slate that includes six playoff teams and then the 49ers and Cowboys, the Giants are going to really earn everything in a must-win year for their GM and coach."

After seven years in San Francisco, Mike Yastrzemski excited about move to Kansas City
He hit a two-run homer in his first at-bat the next day. Let's see Brooks Koepka do that. Mike Yastrzemski homers in his first at-bat with the — MLB (@MLB) Yastrzemski, 34, spent the better part of seven seasons with the Giants carving out a solid career. The Andover native had a .767 OPS and 115 home runs and 148 doubles. He's also a two-time finalist for a Gold Glove. Advertisement But he will be a free agent after the season and, with the Giants underachieving, Yastrzemski was one of three veterans who were shipped out. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up When the 6 p.m. deadline hit and no call came, Yastrzemski thought he was safe. Four minutes later, he learned he was a Royal. 'It was a surprise, but not so much of a surprise because of how we played going into the deadline,' Yastrzemski said. 'We didn't do a good job of forcing Buster's hand to add pieces.' The Royals were 54-55 at the deadline but still traded for Yastrzemski, lefthanded starter Bailey Falter, and outfielder Randal Grichuk. 'It gave everybody a lift,' said Michael Wacha, the former Red Sox righthander who is scheduled to start for Kansas City on Wednesday. '[Yastrzemski] is going to help us. We're glad to have him.' Related : Advertisement The bonus for Yastrzemski was getting to play at Fenway Park this week. His mother, Anne-Marie, and other family and friends were at the game on Monday night. Red Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski (left) shared a laugh with his grandson Mike before the Giants outfielder's first game at Fenway Park on Sept, 17, 2019. Stan Grossfeld/Globe Staff His grandfather, Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski, was not in attendance. Captain Carl turns 86 later this month and prefers to watch games from home. Monday was the seventh time Yastrzemski played at Fenway as a major leaguer. But his experiences go back so much further than that. Fenway was where he saw his first major league game, and later witnessed Mark McGwire hit majestic shots over the Green Monster in the 1999 Home Run Derby. As a teenager, Yastrzemski attended all of the home games in the 2004 postseason. 'A lot of fond memories,' Yastrzemski said. 'This is where I learned baseball … Always special to play in this ballpark and just hear the buzz of the crowd that I grew up being a part of.' Kansas City started the day 3½ games out in the Wild Card race. The Royals made the playoffs last season for the first time since winning the 2015 World Series. They knocked off Baltimore in the Wild Card round before falling to the Yankees in the Division Series, losing three close games. Rather than concede this season, general manager J.J. Picollo elected to keep fighting. 'I'm fired up to be here,' Yastrzemski said. 'This is an incredible group of guys. It was cool just to hop in and see how they run things and everybody functions around here. 'One of the biggest fulfillments as a player is to be somebody that is seen as valuable and to show your value. And I felt like that was something that these guys really were looking for.' Advertisement The hard part was leaving an organization that gave him a chance to succeed. 'Every single person [with the Giants] personally meant something to me,' Yastrzemski said. 'They helped me grow into the player that I am. That kept me healthy, they kept me on the field. 'The friendships keep you sane, the families that you met over there that became part of our family. It's hard to say goodbye in that sense. The good thing is baseball is a really small world and you run into each other one way or another. Good relationships are long lasting.' As the starting lineups were introduced before the first pitch, Sox fans gave Yastrzemski a cheer. It has been nearly 42 years since his grandfather played his last game, but the name still resonates. It always will. Peter Abraham can be reached at

Mets, Giants trade grades for swap centered around Tyler Rogers
The post Mets, Giants trade grades for swap centered around Tyler Rogers appeared first on ClutchPoints. With the trade deadline looming, the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants executed one of the most intriguing swaps yet — and it may end up being a rare win-win. The Mets acquired veteran right-handed reliever Tyler Rogers, a submarining workhorse, in exchange for three pieces: right-handers José Buttó and Blade Tidwell and outfield prospect Drew Gilbert. For both clubs, this deal checks a lot of boxes — just in very different ways. Mets Grade: A The Mets are in the thick of a playoff push, and their bullpen has been gashed by injuries all season long. With Edwin Díaz shaky, Brooks Raley just returning, and multiple arms down for the year, bullpen help wasn't just a need — it was a must. Enter Tyler Rogers, who brings not only elite production but a level of dependability few in the game can match. Rogers has led MLB in appearances multiple times, and his durability is legendary — he's never hit the injured list. More than just a rubber arm, he's been downright nasty this season, boasting a 1.80 ERA with a jaw-dropping 64.4% groundball rate and the lowest walk rate (2.1%) of any qualified reliever. Even though he throws 83 mph and isn't a strikeout machine, hitters can't square him up. His unique submarine delivery and extreme movement generate soft contact and weak grounders — exactly what the Mets need in high-leverage situations. And let's be real: in October, when rest days are baked in and managers lean heavily on elite bullpen arms, guys like Rogers can change a series. He's funky, unpredictable, and impossible to simulate — not even high-tech systems like Trajekt can replicate his delivery. That deception is part of why his platoon splits are shockingly neutral despite his unusual arm slot. Rogers is a rental, yes. But his price tag — less than $2 million owed — makes him a perfect fit for a team already in deep luxury tax waters. The Mets avoided the sticker shock that comes with other relievers like Raisel Iglesias or Kenley Jansen, both of whom carry eight-figure salaries. Plus, Rogers' acquisition complements earlier moves for Gregory Soto and Raley, diversifying the bullpen with different arm angles and styles. Critics might argue the Mets gave up a lot, but here's the thing: Gilbert, Tidwell, and Buttó were all somewhat expendable given the Mets' roster situation. Gilbert wasn't on the 40-man but would've needed a spot this winter. Tidwell had fallen behind in the pecking order of pitching prospects. And Buttó, while solid, was out of options and likely on the roster bubble. Instead of potentially losing them for nothing, the Mets turned that trio into one of baseball's most effective relievers — a clear upgrade in the present without devastating the future. Giants Grade: B+ On the flip side, the Giants cashed in on a pending free agent reliever in a smart, calculated way. Tyler Rogers has been a franchise staple since his debut in 2019, but with the team falling out of playoff contention — thanks to a brutal stretch that has them back at .500 — selling high made sense. And sell high they did. (Although, I believe the team should buy at the deadline. One good month is all it takes to get back in it.) In return for two months of a soft-tossing reliever (albeit a great one), San Francisco landed three players who could each contribute at the major league level. Drew Gilbert is a former first-round pick and a key piece of the Justin Verlander trade just a year ago. His stock has dipped slightly due to injuries and platoon splits (he struggles vs. lefties), but he's still got tools, energy, and defensive versatility. He could end up as a fourth outfielder or a left-handed platoon guy — and that's valuable, especially with Mike Yastrzemski entering free agency. Blade Tidwell has mid-rotation upside if he can find the zone more consistently. His pitch mix is deep, with multiple offerings that flash plus potential, but his command has always lagged behind his stuff. If the Giants can help him harness it, they may have landed a sneaky good arm. If not, he still projects as a capable bullpen piece — something they'll need with so many innings to cover down the stretch. José Buttó is already big-league tested. He's not flashy, but he eats innings and keeps his team in games. The Giants could use that stability with their current rotation chaos. With Logan Webb and Robbie Ray as anchors but little behind them after trading Kyle Harrison and Jordan Hicks in the Devers deal, Buttó can help immediately. For San Francisco, this is about threading the needle — moving an expiring asset for real depth without completely punting on the season. Gilbert and Tidwell add to a thinned-out farm, and Buttó fills Rogers' spot in the bullpen right now. This is one of those rare deals where both sides addressed key needs without making reckless decisions. The Mets paid a fair price to upgrade a bullpen that could swing playoff games. The Giants sold at the right time, extracting multiple assets for a reliever they were likely to lose in free agency anyway. In a deadline full of noise, this move was smart, surgical, and sensible for both organizations.

Grading the Yankees trade with Giants for Camilo Doval
The post Grading the Yankees trade with Giants for Camilo Doval appeared first on ClutchPoints. The MLB trade deadline has come and passed, with a flurry of moves across the big leagues. One of the more active teams was the New York Yankees, who acquired via trade a total of seven players. Maybe the most impactful of the new members of the Yankees is relief pitcher Camilo Doval. The Yankees and San Francisco Giants concluded a trade that sent the former All-Star closer to the Bronx. In exchange, the team by the bay landed four prospects as New York tapped deep into their farm system on Thursday. The Yankees had several holes to fill as the deadline neared. Their team defense was a point of emphasis among fans, particularly of late. But the pitching was arguably the biggest issue that could keep them from returning to the World Series. Meanwhile, the Giants, who began the season on fire, have cooled off considerably and are looking into the future. The blockbuster trade begs the question: Who won the Camilo Doval trade between the Yankees and Giants? Camilo Doval Traded Coast to Coast Yankees get much-needed bullpen help New York paid a relatively steep price to acquire Doval from the Giants. They lost four prospects in the deal, including pitchers Trystan Vrieling and Carlos de la Rosa, catcher Jesus Rodriguez, and infielder Parks Harber. But in return, they added an elite bullpen arm. Camilo Doval is having a bounce-back campaign in 2025. He is 4-2 with 15 saves, a 3.09 ERA, and 1.20 WHIP this season. That comes on the heels of a very subpar season last year, when he posted an ERA of 4.88. But 2024 appears to be more of an outlier. The flame thrower made the National League All-Star team in 2023. That season, he finished with 39 saves, a 2.93 ERA, and 87 strikeouts in just 67 innings. Before the trade deadline, Devin Williams led the team with 17 saves. But he has pitched to an ERA north of 5.00. Luke Weaver took up the mantle and has done a decent job, but is better suited in a setup role. The Yankees also completed a trade for Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar. So, it is unclear who will be the ninth-inning option for Aaron Boone. Nevertheless, Doval is a massive boost to a below-average pen in New York. Grade: B+ Giants Land Prospect Haul for Doval In return for Doval, the Giants came away with four young prospects. According to Vrieling is the No. 17-ranked prospect in New York's system. He is currently playing Double-A ball with an expected big-league call-up in 2026. Catcher Jesus Rodriguez is ranked No. 23 and is currently playing in Triple-A. Neither de la Rosa nor Harber ranks inside the top 30 and appears unlikely to make a long-term difference. However, Doval is playing out his one-year contract he signed with the Giants before the season's start. There was a decent chance that he would fetch a high price tag in free agency this offseason. So, the Giants bolstered their farm system, recognizing that this year they needed to be sellers at the deadline. But knowing how much other relief pitchers were garnering on the trade market, it is a bit surprising to see the Giants not come away with a prospect with a better chance at big league success.
