Five things the SF Giants have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving, families across America gather to give thanks for everything they are blessed with throughout the year. Here are five things SF Giants fans have to be grateful for this holiday season.

5 things the SF Giants have to be thankful for this Thanksgiving

1. Willy Adames is a star, and finally broke the Barry Bonds curse

The Giants gave Adames a massive contract last offseason, and it turned out to be the right move. Adames started off slow in 2025, but picked things up over the summer and turned into a superstar again by the time the year was over. He was worth 2.7 bWAR, and hit 30 home runs, becoming the first Giants since Barry Bonds to hit 30 home runs in a season. Giants fans should be grateful he will be their shortstop for the rest of the decade.

2. Rafael Devers is a Giant

The Rafael Devers trade shocked the baseball world last summer, and it's something all Giants fans have to be thankful for. Devers brought instant thump to the San Francisco lineup, belting 20 home runs in just 90 games. He'll be in San Francisco for the next eight years, and his contract might end up looking like a bargain in a few years, the way the market has moved in the past couple of offseasons.

3. Logan Webb is the league's best workhorse

Webb has led the league in innings three years in a row, with 627.2 innings since 2023. He's become the league's best workhorse, but he's not just an innings eater. Webb is a perennial CY-Young candidate, with a fourth place finish in 2025, a second place finish in 2023, a sixth place finish in 2024, and an eleventh place finish in 2022. In the past five years, he's averaged 4.3 bWAR per season has a 3.19 ERA.

4. Bryce Eldridge has future star written all over him

Giants fans looking ahead to the future can look forward to Bryce Eldridge, the prospect who has future star written all over him. Eldridge looks like an absolute stud, playing a strong first base and boasting impressive power tools. It might not be long before the Giants have their next long-term answer at first base.

5. Buster Posey is an executive who wants to win

So many teams find themselves being led by outsiders, leaders who have no real stake in the franchise and ownership more worried about money-making than championship-winning. That's not the case for the Giants. Buster Posey is an executive who wants to win, and will do anything to see his team win the World Series. He's homegrown, a Giant for life, and easy to root for. Posey will deliver a championship to the team as an executive one of these years.
