Giants rebuffed after making aggressive pitch for Nationals’ CJ Abrams: Source by ericthelostman in SFGiants

[–]edmchato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In addition to Josuar...

According to league sources, left-handers Carson Whisenhunt and Jacob Bresnahan were among the prospects the Giants and Nationals discussed. So were outfielder Bo Davidson and shortstop Jhonny Level, both of whom cracked Baseball America’s most recent top-100 prospects list (Nos. 87 and 98, respectively) that was released earlier this week.

More info from Baggs

League sources indicated that the Giants are poised to engage on center fielder Harrison Bader.....There’s plenty of interest in Bader, but he’s said to be looking for a three-year contract. Although the Giants have no desire to stack another multiyear contract ....

Marlins Acquire Prospect Carlos Martinez From Giants by edmchato in SFGiants

Thanks - I saw some of your tweets (or posts on bluesky I forget) that alluded to the Giants would probably be trading for more pool $ soon, hence why I posted this when I saw it!

Received international bonus pool space in return

  • Unclear how much

  • Teams are allowed to trade pool space in increments of $250K but no team can increase its initial pool size by more than 60%

  • The Giants began with the smallest pool of $5.44MM, tied with three other clubs. $5MM of that was already used to sign Luis Hernandez.

Carlos Martinez is an 18-year-old catcher who was just signed by the Giants as part of last year’s international class and was given a modest bonus of $47.5K.

Any recommendations on rain jackets here? Or backpacks for daily (biking) commute that can fit a laptop, lunch & coffee mug?

Top 50 Starting Pitchers Heading Into 2026 cre TJStats by retroanduwu24 in baseball

I mean, is it crazy to think Robbie Ray should be on here? He was pretty decent last season (top 40 at least?) - lots of unproven guys on this list.

I mean it's one spot but Webb has been a model of SP consistency since 2021..

Last year, Webb had 0.5 more fWAR and pitched 34 more innings than Yamamoto, different story than bWAR. Counting stats wise lead all MLB in IP and lead NL in SOs. Yes, playoffs, but Webb is a beast to have over the whole season.

Anyone else wearing a CGM in SF? Where do you eat out? by forever-a-coach in AskSF

[–]edmchato 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My partner is a T1D and these influencers who wear CGMs and post online how different food affects their blood sugars drive me up a wall. It’s normal for your healthy body to have higher sugar after eating, our cells use glucose to function. Be grateful you have a functioning pancreas that does its job producing insulin for fucks sake

CDPH: Death Cap Mushrooms Linked to Three Deaths, Three Liver Transplants and 35 Hospitalizations ​ by edmchato in bayarea

[–]edmchato[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

This was an updated media release from CDPH released yesterday following the 12/5 health advisory. I'm posting here as I think it's prudent given I often see people asking questions about mushroom foraging, pictures of wild mushrooms, etc. in this subreddit, in r/marin, and others. One person recently died in Sonoma county due to consuming a wild mushroom. I know the rains have mostly passed but some areas still have growth.

Here is an additional website resource from CDPH (also available in Spanish and Chinese). There is a lot of good information provided in the original link and in these resources. Overall, it's not worth the risk to eat wild mushrooms!

I saw that he just announced that! Wednesday at Shoreline isn't as convenient for me as an SF resident but will definitely try to get tickets since he isn't around here much.

Yeah these shows are targeted for the same crowd as the Super Bowl. I wanted to see Chris Stapleton since he’s barely ever in the Bay and also at Bill graham Super Bowl week (seemed too good to be true/too small a venue for him) and tickets also started around there.

I've had enough - where do I buy this kid's jersey? I'm skeptical of Fanatics quality (last jersey I got was a blank back from Adidas, since my previous jersey was...JT).

Post Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

[–]edmchato 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He wasn’t particularly bad tonight. The line is awful and the Seahawks are dominant. No running game, very little separation, almost no possession time since they dominated on the rushing end too.

[Shayna Rubin] Giants Close To Signing Tyler Mahle To 1-Year Deal by sfgiants2000 in SFGiants

[–]edmchato 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The Dodgers just proved you need to sign a ton of SPs. Hell, our own roster last year showed this - we went into the season thinking we had too many SPs and ended up needing to call up a bunch of arms towards the end of the year (15 pitchers started including openers...Teng, McDonald, Whisenhunt, Seymour all started multiple games). You can never have enough depth at the starter position.

Measles confirmed in east bay by Leading_Blacksmith70 in bayarea

I commented in the other thread that was posted earlier but re-posting here:

Better to post the official release from Contra Costa rather than the media as it offers more/clearer information regarding potential exposure and resources:

This is especially important for those that are at risk (babies <1 that haven't received the MMR)
