The SF Giants have just begun the 2025 season, but it is not too early to take a look at several players who may be in their final year in the orange and black. Let’s take a look at three veterans who may be in their final year with the Giants.

3 SF Giants veterans who may be in final year with Giants

1. Mike Yastrzemski

The longest-tenured Giant, Mike Yastrzemski, signed a one year contract prior to the 2025 season. He has been on the team since 2019 and has been remarkably consistent for the Giants. He has never hit for a high batting average, but he has provided some respectable power from the left side of the plate and his solid defense and baserunning have made him a valuable player for San Francisco.

He is currently in a platoon in right field with the young Luis Matos with the veteran mostly getting starts against right-handed starting pitchers, with one recent exception, and Matos getting starts against left-handed pitchers.

If Matos ends up having a breakout year and eventually displaces Yastrzemski by becoming the everyday right fielder, then there is the potential Yastrzemski could be traded. But even if Yastrzemski finishes the season in San Francisco, he is going to be a free agent in the offseason so there is a decent chance he could sign elsewhere.

If 2025 does end up being Yastrzemski’s last year with the Giants, he has been a solid player for the team and will have left his mark with the way he carried himself and played the game.

2. Wilmer Flores

Another player in the final year of his contract is Wilmer Flores. The veteran is coming off a very rough 2024, but he is off to a red-hot start so far in 2025. With top prospect Bryce Eldridge waiting in the wings at first base, the Giants may not have room for Flores next season, but they are certainly hoping he can have a good 2025 as the team’s first baseman and designated hitter in what may be his last season as a Giant.

3. LaMonte Wade Jr.

Flores’ platoon-mate at first base is LaMonte Wade Jr. He has been a solid player for the Giants since 2021 and he too is entering the last year of his contract. The 31-year-old is known more for his ability to get on base than his ability to hit homers which is somewhat rare for a first baseman, but he provides value.

The past offseason was the last one he was eligible for arbitration, so he is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason so he may decide to ge ttest the waters.

All three of these Giants are former Willie Mac Award winners and they all seem to be popular clubhouse guys who go about things the right way. None of them are stars, but if this is the last year these Giants don the orange and black it will be sad to see them go.
