Source not verified
At Tuesday's postseason press conference, Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey was asked about Willy Adames' future as a defensive shortstop and gave a firm endorsement. "I see his future as a shortstop," Posey said, adding there's "no doubt" despite Adames' back issues this season. Adames posted -17 outs above average and -14 fielding run value in 2026, both the worst among all qualified defenders, but Posey's public backing suggests the Giants are not moving him off the position.

Doval, wearing No. 57, reportedly expressed a strong desire to remain with the Giants long-term, saying, "This is where I want to be. This is my home." The reported move would add high-velocity strikeout potential to a bullpen that has lacked swing-and-miss stuff all season.

Source not verified
Marcelo Mayer, acquired in the Eric Miller trade, went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his Giants debut on Monday against Minnesota. It was his first MLB game since June 25th after dealing with forearm and foot injuries, and he had no rehab assignment, which likely contributed to the rough night.
