Bo Davidson’s recent Instagram story did more than grab attention. It offered a glimpse of the kind of edge the SF Giants may need as they look ahead to 2027.
Davidson, one of the young players who was called up late in the 2026 season, posted a video of Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards talking about how teams need to look out for Minnesota in the upcoming season. Davidson added the caption: “Next year when yall see Giants come in town just know we on BS.”
That kind of confidence might sound a little out of place coming from a team that just lost 97 games and didn’t exactly scare anybody. But the Giants’ late-season shift did show something worth noticing: the younger call-ups at least brought fight, and the team became more competitive as the year went on.
There’s also a reason some of that energy stood out. The Giants played better when veterans like Matt Chapman and Willy Adames were out, and the younger group - many of whom had already played together in the minors - seemed to bring a different vibe. The record still wasn’t pretty in the second half, but the product on the field was easier to watch.
That’s where Davidson fits in. He appears to have the kind of self-belief that can help set a tone, and Bryce Eldridge showed a similar trait in 2026 when he said he felt “sexy” at the plate after getting called up.
A line like that would have raised eyebrows decades ago, but in today’s game it barely causes a ripple. More importantly, Eldridge backed it up and turned in a very solid rookie season.
Maybe Davidson and Eldridge can be the faces of a younger Giants group that brings a little more spark into the room. The first step isn’t necessarily a quick fix in the standings. It’s a different mindset - one with more swagger, more confidence, and a little less hesitation.
If the Giants are going to turn this thing around, that belief has to show up somewhere. Whatever 2026 was, it didn’t work. So if a little self-assurance helps the young players carry themselves like they expect better, the Giants could use plenty more of it.

Giants Fans Already Have A Krukow Successor Debate Brewing
Mike Krukows impending retirement after the 2026 season has already put Giants fans into speculation mode, because filling that chair will not be a simple handoff. Krukow has been one of the defining voices of the franchise, and now the conversation has turned to who might fit the job when the Giants eventually have to replace him.
J.T. Snow has already said he has interest in the role, and he is far from the only name floating around. Hunter Pence, Javier Lopez, Shawn Estes, Rich Aurilia, George Kontos, Sergio Romo, Jeremy Affeldt and Dusty Baker are all among the possible candidates, and the Giants are expected to look at multiple options before making a decision. For now, it is less about a single frontrunner than a familiar question around this team: who can step into a role that means so much to the fan base? [Read more 🡒]
Buster Posey May Revisit A Giants Path Fans Know Well
Buster Posey spent the 2026 season focused on shaping the Giants future, even as the roster swelled to a record number of players and the club ultimately finished fourth in the NL West. The front office still found a way to add to the next wave, using the MLB Draft to bring in pitching prospects, but the bigger work this offseason could come in the form of familiar names.
Several former Giants are now free agents, and that opens the door to a path fans know well: revisiting players who already have history in San Francisco. Kevin Gausman, Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray and Michael Conforto are among the possible additions the Giants could weigh as Posey looks to keep improving a roster that still needs more certainty, even after an active year of turnover and prospect accumulation.

Christian Koss Is Caught In The Giants' Roster Squeeze
Christian Koss spent much of the season as one of the Giants more visible fill-ins, appearing in 70 games and taking advantage of the injuries that opened a path to regular at-bats. But the chance came with limited offensive impact, and his season line left him as one of the players whose grip on a roster spot never really strengthened.
Now he is part of the squeeze that always arrives when the offseason starts sorting out a crowded roster. The Giants have more players than places, and Koss is among the names waiting to see how the club reshapes the group before next season, with his future still very much tied to what comes next.
