Willy Adames and Matt Chapman grabbed a microphone after Sunday’s 4-0 Giants win over the Colorado Rockies, taking the field at Oracle Park to thank San Francisco fans for their support through an up-and-down year.
The victory gave San Francisco a four-game sweep against the Rockies to close out the 2025 MLB season, but the Giants still finished 81-81 and missed the playoffs.
“I know this year ended up not the way we wanted it to, but we just want to thank you all,” Adames said. “Thank you, guys, for the support. You guys were unbelievable.
“Even when we were at our worst, you guys were showing up every day and packing the stadium. That was impressive. So, we just want to say we love you guys. Thank you for the support. We promise we’re going to do our best this offseason to get prepared for next year and go to the postseason next year.”
The 30-year-old shortstop also capped his season with a milestone — becoming the first Giants player since Barry Bonds in 2004 to hit 30 or more home runs in a season.
Adames closed the season with a .224 batting average and 86 RBI, while Chapman hit .245 with 21 home runs and 61 RBI.
Chapman echoed Adames’ gratitude shortly after.
“Just like Willy said, I speak for the whole team,” Chapman said. “We love you guys. You guys support us every single night. It means a lot. You guys spend your money to come show up and support us. You cheer hard. We love you guys.”
A .500 finish left plenty to fix, but Chapman and Adames made clear the fans remain the team’s biggest strength.
“I know we didn’t reach our goal this year,” Chapman continued. “We’re all disappointed, but like Willy said, we’re gonna go home, we really are gonna get better and we’re not gonna disappoint you guys next year. We’re gonna be playing a lot later than this. So, thank you guys.”
