Important SF Giants offseason dates for 2026-2027 offseason before CBA expires

The San Francisco Giants face a busy 2026–2027 offseason schedule before the current Collective Bargaining Agreement expires on December 1, 2026. With a potential lockout looming, the club must navigate key roster decisions early, starting five days after the World Series when players on the 60-day injured list must be reinstated or placed on waivers, alongside deciding on Rowan Wick's club option.

Additional critical milestones include the November 17 deadline to protect eligible prospects like Joe Whitman and Henry LaLane from the Rule 5 draft. The Giants then reach the non-tender deadline on December 20, where they must address arbitration-eligible players led by Camilo Doval and Casey Schmitt.
