Player Outlook
It was a tale of two seasons for LaMonte Wade, who appeared primed for a career year with a .329/.462/.445 slash line through 57 games but labored to a .638 OPS in the final 60 contests. Overall he hit just eight home runs in 117 games, with a 15.8 percent walk rate carrying a lot of his offensive value. His patience at the plate isn't a new attribute, as he has a double-digit walk rate in three of his four seasons with the Giants. A .331 BABIP may not be sustainable, but his career-best 43.7 percent hard-hit rate was encouraging and resulted in a .437 xSLG, which was notably better than his actual slugging figure of .381. Wade's fantasy value is limited outside of OBP leagues, but his solid average could come in handy for streamers if he's able to turn some of that strong contact back into home runs, which he's shown he can do at times with two campaigns in which he sniffed 20 long balls (he hit 18 and 17 home runs in 2021 and 2023, respectively). His .840 OPS against left-handed pitching was a stark improvement and could help him avoid a platoon at first base if he's able to sustain it.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Might bat leadoff this season

    Rotowire
    Giants manager Bob Melvin indicated Thursday that Wade could bat leadoff this season, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. If it happens, it would likely be only against right-handers, as Wilmer Flores (knee) is expected to fill the short side of a platoon at first base with Wade. If Wade does indeed hit leadoff versus righties, Jung Hoo Lee would be used in the three hole. Melvin also noted Thursday that Wade could see some action in the outfield this season in addition to first base. The 31-year-old has primarily been a first baseman over the last two seasons but made five starts in the outfield last year.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Settles at $5 million

    Rotowire
    The Giants and Wade avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $5 million contract Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. This was Wade's final year of arbitration eligibility, as he's slated to hit free agency next winter. While the 31-year-old is the current favorite to open the 2025 season as the Giants' primary first baseman against right-handed pitching, there have been reports of the club seeking help at the position from outside the organization and also whispers of Wade being available via trade.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Out against left-hander

    Rotowire
    Wade is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Arizona. Southpaw Eduardo Rodriguez is on the hill for the Diamondbacks, so the left-handed-hitting Wade will yield to Mark Canha at first base. Though he's slashing .333/.439/.424 over 42 plate appearances versus lefties this season, Wade has just three starts against left-handers in 2024.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Homers twice in win

    Rotowire
    Wade went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Royals. Wade took Brady Singer deep twice to register his first multi-homer effort of the season. The 30-year-old has been productive through 15 September contests, logging four multi-hit efforts, homering three times and driving in 10 runs. On the season, he is hitting .267 with eight long balls, 33 RBI, 44 runs scored and two steals across 378 plate appearances.

Wade has been decent in September, going 11-for-41 (.268) with two extra-base hits, eight RBI and four runs scored over 13 games this month. His steal Wednesday was just his second theft of the year, matching his total from 2023. Overall, the first baseman has a .267/.390/.376 slash line with six home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs scored and 15 doubles over 370 plate appearances in a strong-side platoon role.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Homers, drives in four

    Rotowire
    Wade went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Diamondbacks. Wade jumped on a four-seamer from Kevin Ginkel in the bottom of the seventh and sent it into the stands for a two-run shot to pull the Giants back within two runs of Arizona. He then added a clutch two-run single in the ninth to once again cut the deficit to two runs, though his diligent effort would fall short. The long ball was Wade's sixth of the campaign, while his four RBI on the night marked a season high. It also marked the outfielder's first multi-hit performance since Aug. 23 against the Mariners.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Clubs homer in three-hit game

    Rotowire
    Wade went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Reds. Wade put the Giants ahead with his sixth-inning homer. The first baseman has batted atop the order in his last three games -- he didn't hit leadoff often earlier in the season, as Jung Hoo Lee (knee) was there early in the year and Jorge Soler spent more time there before he was traded to Atlanta. Since the All-Star break, Wade is 8-for-37 (.216) with four walks over 11 contests. He's slashing .294/.417/.407 with four homers, 20 RBI, 33 runs scored and a stolen base over 252 plate appearances, but he's struggled to replicate his strong on-base skills from earlier in the year since returning from a hamstring injury in late June.
