2026 Fantasy Outlook
Tidwell got a welcomed change of scenery when the Mets dealt him to the Giants at the 2025 deadline as part of the return for Tyler Rogers. The writing was on the wall that Tidwell didn't figure into the Mets' long-term rotation plans, but he could compete for a spot in the Giants rotation in camp, particularly with his college skipper Tony Vitello taking over as manager in San Francisco. The 6-foot-4 righty works with multiple fastballs, sitting in the mid-90s, and two slider variations, and the Giants will likely work with him this spring to maximize his arsenal. He missed some time at the end of 2025 with a sore shoulder, but made one scoreless two-inning appearance Sept. 17 to close the year with a clean bill of health. Pitching half your games in San Francisco and throwing to Patrick Bailey is a great place to start, and Tidwell has more breakout potential than may meet the eye, particularly relative to his 9.00 ERA and 10:10 K:BB in his15 MLB innings last year.

Signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March of 2026.
Secures three-inning save
Tidwell earned a save against the Mets on Thursday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over three scoreless innings.
Analysis
Tidwell was called up from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of the contest and ended up covering the final three innings for the Giants. The right-hander breezed through his outing, holding New York without a hit while throwing 24 of 37 pitches for strikes. He was rewarded with his first career save, though there's no reason to expect additional save opportunities to come his way given that he'll likely be deployed in middle and long relief.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More time at Triple-A?
Mets officials believe Tidwell needs more "seasoning" in the minors before making his big-league debut, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
Analysis
Tidwell was promoted from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse in May and appeared to have a chance of making his MLB debut late in 2024, but he struggled in 19 outings for Syracuse with a 5.93 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 77:53 K:BB across 85 innings. The 23-year-old right-hander is still one of the organization's top prospects, but he'll likely need to cut down on his 5.6 BB/9 before graduating to the majors.
