20-year-old Bryce Eldridge just hit his 23rd home run in AAA. It traveled 470 feet, which would tie it for the fifth-longest home run in MLB this year.

Unlikely to get called up to the majors this year. Keep in mind, post-September 1 rosters are only 28 now...used to be anyone on the 40 man roster could get called up.

The Giants taking two of three from the Brewers (best record in baseball) and three of three from the Cubs (headed to the postseason) may have saved Bob Melvin's job.

Should the Giants try to add two-time All Star Adley Rutschman? Best catcher in baseball (arguably) between 2022 and 2024? Now has a line of .227/.310/.373/.684 but is a career .256/.344/.413/.758. All Star in 2023 and 2024. 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting in 2022.
WAR has declined every year. Good fielder. Fielding has improved every year. He's 27.

No. Bailey is tremendously defensively. He has shown (first half of ‘24) that he can be a solid hitting catcher. I’d give him one more year before thinking of making any big move. Hopefully Jesus Rodriguez can be a decent defensive catcher and provide a RH option. Bailey is a better hitter left handed.
Giants have bigger off-season issues. Beginning with starting pitching.
