| 5/28/25 | Former Giants Promising Young Star Lands Deal with New York Mets. The San Francisco Giants are seeing a former promising prospect head across the country to a hated National League rival. As first reported by Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, the New York Mets have agreed to a minor league deal with infielder David Villar. The 28-year-old was designated for assignment a couple of weeks ago after the Giants activated Casey Schmitt from the injured list. Since the 2022 season, Villar has played in 118 games for San Francisco and slashed .200/.292/.391 with 15 home runs and 41 RBI, his best year coming during 52 games in his rookie campaign.

| 5/19/25 | David Villar's time with SF Giants likely nearing an end after second DFA. Once heralded as the Giants' third baseman of the future, David Villar's time with the organization is likely coming to an end. Villar, 28, was designated for assignment Monday for the second time this season so that Casey Schmitt could be activated from the injured list. If he is not traded, Villar will have the opportunity to elect free agency rather than an assignment to Triple-A Sacramento. Manager Bob Melvin said it was “hard” to deliver the news, but move didn't come as a surprise to Villar, who was still at his locker when the home clubhouse opened to reporters before the Giants began a three-game set against the Kansas City Royals.

| 4/23/25 | Buster Posey's influence is evident is SF Giants' roster continuity. When David Villar was called into the Triple-A manager's office over the weekend, he had no reason to believe the message Dave Brundage was about to deliver. “My initial reaction was hey, maybe I'm getting moved, or maybe something else is happening, or it's just a check-in,” Villar said Tuesday, after the River Cats skipper told him to get to Anaheim to replace Casey Schmitt on the Giants' roster. Not only had Villar been designated for assignment weeks earlier, San Francisco had gone the first three-plus weeks of the regular season without calling down once to Triple-A Sacramento for reinforcements. In fact, the Giants hadn't made a single roster move from Opening Day until Saturday, when Schmitt was placed on the injured list with an oblique strain.

| 3/29/25 | San Francisco Giants Veteran Utilityman Clears Waivers, Back in Minors. When the San Francisco Giants puts David Villar on waivers, they knew they were taking a chance on not getting him back. On Saturday, NBC Sports Bay Area reported that Villar cleared waivers and the Giants outrighted him to Triple-A Sacramento, which puts him on stand-by in case he's needed later this season. For his career he's slashed .200/.288/.400 with 15 home runs and 40 RBI. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/san-francisco-giants... |
| 3/12/25 | 'Part of the business': Out of options, SF Giants' Villar navigates uncertain future. David Villar's time with the Giants could be nearing its end. Villar, 28, is out of minor-league options. The Giants must designate him for assignment if he doesn't make the cut, and he's unlikely to pass through waivers. “Obviously, it's part of the business,” Villar said.

| 1/01/24 | Player Review: David Villar. Last year, David Villar was the recipient of the Good Luck, We're All Counting On You medal when Farhan Zaidi considered him — along with Casey Schmitt and J.D. Davis — enough depth to overcome the loss of Evan Longoria. Villar had just hit .231/.331/.455 (.787 OPS) in 52 games for the Giants, with 9 home runs, 6 doubles, and a triple in 181 plate appearances; although, most of that success came in the final month of the season, where in September and the beginning of October (29 games), he slashed .269/.327/.570 (.897 OPS) with 8 home runs and 4 doubles.

The Minor League Baseball season is winding down, but all four of the San Francisco Giants Minor League Baseball affiliates were in action on Wednesday. As if to stick their nose out at the Giants, the River Cats have opened up their series with 32 hits and 18 runs in the first 2 games.

| 5/14/23 | Brandon Crawford activated from IL, David Villar optioned; Luke Jackson begins rehab. A few minutes ago, the San Francisco Giants announced that David Villar had been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento after yesterday's game in order to activate Brandon Crawford for today's finale in Arizona. Not a surprising move by any stretch — Susan Slusser interviewed him in an article published May 10th where even he knew the writing was on the wall — but another one that shows the Giants are walking a tightrope when it comes to rebuilding and developing. “The one thing I would be continue to be really clear about is it's only been 100 plate appearances for David,” Kapler said. Villar's at 50% flyballs in exactly 100 PA and his 14.3% FB/HR rate is nearly right in line with the team's overall rate of 17.4% (tied for 2nd-best in MLB).

| 5/10/23 | SF Giants not giving up on slumping David Villar, but third base is no longer his job. The Giants aren't giving up on David Villar, but for now, third base is no longer his job. Villar was on the bench again on Wednesday as he continues to sit against most right-handed pitchers. It's somewhat of a surprise given the Giants were using Villar as the three-hole hitter during the first week of the season and expected him to be their everyday third baseman. “Unless you just signed a fresh multi-year contract, there's always competition for playing time,” manager Gabe Kapler said.

| 4/13/23 | This David Is No Masterpiece But….. Michaelangelo's statue of David is arguably the most famous statue in existence. Korean bus tours ferry their customers to gawk at it, so you know it's famous beyond famous. Giorgio Vasari, a renowned Renaissance painter himself, said this about the statue of David:
"When all was finished, it cannot be denied that this work has carried off the palm from all other statues, modern or ancient, Greek or Latin; no other artwork is equal to it in any respect, with such just proportion, beauty and excellence did Michelagnolo finish it"
The David I'm going to be talking about in this piece is far from perfection. In fact, his imperfections are so apparent that the boy from the Mask, not the Jim Carrey one but the Cher one, has become more confident. This David whom I write of is David Villar of the San Francisco Giants. Here's why I think he has some utility. Source: https://razzball.com/this-david-is-no-masterpiece-... |
