What’s Next For San Francisco Giants After Max Fried Agrees With Yankees?
The San Francisco Giants will have one less pitching option available to them in free agency as Max Fried reportedly reached a deal with the New York Yankees.
ESPN Insider Jeff Passan broke the news on Tuesday afternoon that Fried and the Yankees came to an agreement on a massive eight-year, $218 million deal. It comes with the largest amount of guaranteed money for a left-handed pitcher in baseball history.
Fried had a bit of an off-year last season, but that still means he had a 3.25 ERA. He’s been a fairly consistent player throughout his career and has a 2.81 ERA overall for the last five seasons.
The southpaw would have been the perfect supplement to the roster after losing Blake Snell to the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Giants will now need to look elsewhere.
There are still some intriguing options available to San Francisco if they feel the need to add to their pitching staff.
Sasaki is obviously the golden goose of this free agent class, but it will mostly come down to how good the Giants can pitch themselves to the Japanese phenom.
Along with the Dodgers, they can offer the least to him at $5.146 million. The money doesn’t seem to be the biggest worry for him.
If Buster Posey actually does have the green light to still go after a true ace after signing Willy Adames, Burnes makes the most sense as the best MLB pitcher on the market.
He was the closest to his Cy Young form in years with the Baltimore Orioles in 2024. The 30-year-old posted a 2.92 ERA with an impressive 1.096 WHIP. The biggest problem with him is just that he is going to draw such a large price tag.
Buehler has not been the same pitcher as he was at the onset of his career, but finished last season strong.
He got the final out in the World Series, had a great postseason and had a solid close to the regular season. If he can ride that momentum into his next campaign, he could be a great value add.
Manaea would be a solid add as another southpaw, but would likely be a slight disappointment given the expectations of going after another ace.
He is coming off his best season in years, though, with a 3.47 ERA and 1.084 WHIP for the New York Mets.
It would be a reunion after his disappointing 2023 campaign in San Francisco.
A man was being sought as the suspect in a double shooting in Bay Point that left one person dead and another injured early Friday morning.
The Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched at about 1:30 a.m. to an unknown problem on Olivia Lane, just east of Alves Lane and south of Delta de Anza Regional Trail, which later was reported to be “shots fired.”
While arriving at the scene, deputies were flagged down by several people who were injured at the location, the Sheriff’s Office said. Deputies found one person who was unresponsive and he was taken to a hospital. The victim was later pronounced dead at the hospital, the office said.
A second person was taken to the hospital; the victim’s condition was not disclosed. The victim who died has not yet been identified.
Sheriff’s detectives identified the suspect as 35-year-old Avery Alexander Gibbs, described by the Sheriff’s Office as a transient. Gibbs was still at large as of Friday afternoon
The Sheriff’s Office said Gibbs should not be approached, and anyone seeing him should call 9-1-1. People with information on the shooting were asked to contact Sheriff’s Office investigators at (925) 313-2600 dispatcher at (925) 646-2441.
Golden Gate Bridge fireworks will be a rare patriotic event
This year on July 4th, for the third time in history, an organized fireworks display will be held at San Francisco’s iconic Golden Gate Bridge. This only happned in twice before in 1987 and 2012 for the bridge’s 50th and 75th annivesary. Expect crowds to be massive and public transportation, ride shares and simply walking is highly recommended.
SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco is preparing for its major July 4th fireworks display on Saturday night, an event expected to draw massive crowds as pyrotechnics are launched directly from the Golden Gate Bridge for only the third time in history.
Will crowds flood Marina?
What we don’t know:
To pull off the event, the Golden Gate Bridge, major roadways, and key parking lots at Marina Green and Crissy Field will be shut down.
Several neighborhood streets will also be blocked off, creating significant traffic hurdles. Officials are strongly advising spectators to utilize public transit due to severely limited parking.
Local residents in the Marina District have expressed concern over the impending chaos as crowds flood the neighborhood.
“I’m a little worried, yeah,” said nearby resident Michael Zoboski. “I think it’s gonna be definitely hectic. I don’t know where people are going to park, it seems like it’s taking up a large amount of the streets up here. I think it’s going to be a little crazy.”
To manage the influx, access to many surrounding neighborhoods will be strictly limited to local residents.
Checking IDs
What we know:
Law enforcement officers will be checking IDs and questioning drivers to verify residency. According to the district supervisor, there will be 10 police officers deployed per block in the Marina.
Road closures will stretch from Baker Street to Van Ness Avenue between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m.
Portions of Fisherman’s Wharf are scheduled to shut down even earlier, starting at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon, with much of that neighborhood also restricted to local access. The Golden Gate Bridge itself will close to traffic starting at 9 p.m.
Additionally, roads will be closed in the Presidio and Richmond District. To encourage the use of public transportation, Muni is providing special shuttles to help transport spectators to the viewing areas.
