Giants Open 0-3, History Warns of Rough Season Ahead

San Francisco’s 0-3 start, capped by scoring only one run in three home games against the Yankees, triggers historical caution as teams with such an opening often miss the playoffs and face mounting April pressure. The piece notes the Giants’ offense remains the vulnerability despite solid pitching and a brutal early schedule, with depth and lineup issues evident in a sequential lineup and minimal substitutions. In parallel, Verducci highlights a surge of left-handed hitting rookies making big debuts, the “lab-grown” evolution of Max Fried’s pitch mix with the Yankees, and broader MLB trend pieces on new rules and coach signaling—collectively underscoring how early-season momentum and strategic shifts will shape the season for both the Giants and the sport.

Mets Sign Grae Kessinger on Minor League Deal to Add Infield Depth

The New York Mets signed Grae Kessinger to a minor-league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training, adding a right-handed-hitting, versatile infield option. The former Astros second-round pick batted .131 with one homer in 70 MLB plate appearances across 2023-24, and owns a .234/.335/.361 line over 403 minor-league games, including Triple-A in the hitter-friendly PCL. After being designated for assignment by Houston, traded to Arizona and released while injured, he’s healthy and will compete for a bench spot in Queens behind Ronny Mauricio and Vidal Bruján, with Christian Arroyo and Jackson Cluff also in the mix; Tsung-Che Cheng could join if he clears waivers from his DFA.
