"The Giants have yet to address their litany of needs during MLB's Winter Meetings, but the organization has enjoyed a multitude of wins in other departments. Jeff Kent was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and will likely go into Cooperstown as a Giant. Matt Chisholm, the team' vice president of media relations, received the 2025 Robert O. Fishel Award for public relations excellence."
"Brad Grems and Gavin Cuddie, the Giants' respective home and road clubhouse managers, earned the Clubhouse Manager of the Year Award. Karen Sweeney, who has been with the organization since 1989, won the Katy Feeney Leadership Award, which recognizes exceptional female employees in baseball. Along with that laundry list of award, the Giants landed the fourth overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft on Tuesday night thanks to some luck in the draft lottery."
"For all the celebrating this week, Duane Kuiper once again fell short winning the Ford C. Frick Award, the annual honor that goes to an MLB broadcaster for major contributions to baseball. The 2026 recipient for the award was Joe Buck, whose father, Jack, won the Ford C. Frick Award in 1987. The other finalists were Brian Anderson, Skip Caray, Rene Cardenas, Gary Cohen, Jacques Doucet, John Rooney, Dan Shulman and John Sterling."
"He's become a friend over the years, said president of baseball operations Buster Posey on Tuesday. He's synonymous with Giants baseball. Krukow is the same way. When you have a voice and a storyteller like Kuiper and Krukow, it allows you that ability to still take in the game and get enjoyment just from their relationship, their subtleties. They have their calls. Of course I'm biased, but both of those guys are slam dunk Hall of Famers in my mind."
The Giants collected multiple organizational honors at MLB's Winter Meetings while roster needs remained unaddressed. Jeff Kent was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and will likely be recognized as a Giant in Cooperstown. Matt Chisholm received the 2025 Robert O. Fishel Award for public relations excellence. Brad Grems and Gavin Cuddie earned Clubhouse Manager of the Year honors. Karen Sweeney won the Katy Feeney Leadership Award. The team obtained the fourth overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft via the lottery. Duane Kuiper again did not win the Ford C. Frick Award, which went to Joe Buck.
