Giants' Harrison Bader: Reaches resolution with team
Rotowire
The Giants and Bader (foot) have reached a contract resolution and he is expected to remain in the organization, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
The Giants suspended payment of Bader's contract in late July after he further injured his left foot in a scooter accident. The two sides have since come to terms on a resolution, though the specifics of that agreement aren't clear and it's still not a given that Bader will be on the roster in 2027. Bader has been going through a running progression and is expected to be healthy for spring training. He signed a two-year, $20.5 million contract last offseason but was limited to just 30 games in the first year of the deal.

Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Finishes up stint in AFL
Rotowire
Giants general manager Zack Minasian said Monday of Rodriguez's (elbow) showing in the Arizona Fall League that he was "really encouraged by how he looked," Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News reports.
Rodriguez's three appearances in the AFL were his first since he underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2025. The results weren't great -- he allowed three runs with a 3:3 K:BB over two innings -- but Rodriguez touched 98 mph with his four-seamer and also showed off a new changeup. The 27-year-old reliever had a dominant 2025 season for San Francisco, posting a 1.78 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 67:11 K:BB over 50.2 frames. Rodriguez could be back in the closer mix for the Giants in 2027.
