SF Giants Player Review 2026: Harrison Bader hit a fire truck, but not the baseball

Around the Foghorn writer Nick San Miguel reviews Harrison Bader's disappointing 2026 campaign with the San Francisco Giants following his two-year, $20.5 million signing. Bader batted .170 with five home runs in 30 games while struggling with hamstring and foot injuries before an off-field incident derailed his season.

In July, Bader reportedly collided with a fire truck while riding a scooter, leading the Giants to place him on the restricted list and suspend his pay. With internal outfield options available, San Miguel argues Bader faces an uncertain future in San Francisco.
