Ricardo Genovés and Eugene started off the High-A West Championship Series in Spokane, but it seemed more like the Emeralds’ city. That might have been particularly true for the Giants’ No. 18 prospect, who homered 13 times over 103 games in the regular season, but smacked two long balls and

SAN FRANCISCO -- Buster Posey’s decision to sit out the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign accelerated top catching prospect Joey Bart’s arrival to the Majors last summer, but Posey’s return created few opportunities for Bart to impact the Giants this season.

The Giants made a long-term move to bolster their organizational relief depth on Monday, acquiring right-hander Sam Delaplane from the Mariners in exchange for cash considerations. Delaplane, who hails from San Jose, Calif., and attended Leigh High School, was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Delaplane, who was ranked Seattle’s No. 24

Marco Luciano didn’t have a multi-hit game through his first 10 days at the Low-A level. It’s safe to say he’s heating up. Baseball’s No. 13 overall prospect doubled, homered and reached base four times in a 3-for-3 night, his best offensive performance of the season, as Low-A San Jose

Heliot Ramos snapped out of a two-week dry spell in a big way on Friday night. The Giants' No. 3 prospect racked up three hits, scored three runs and plated four runs, including his first home run and RBIs since his four-RBI night against Hartford on May 6. Richmond picked
