The Milwaukee Brewers are reportedly close to officially adding free agent pitcher Jakob Junis to their pitching staff, per MLB insider Kiley McDaniel of ESPN. Junis most recently played in the big leagues in the 2023 MLB season for the San Francisco Giants.

The San Francisco Giants acquired left-hander Ethan Small from Milwaukee for cash on Monday after the Brewers designated him for assignment last week. Small spent most of the 2023 season with the Brewers’ Triple-A Nashville affiliate, where 36 of his 38 appearances came out of the bullpen. The Brewers designated Small for assignment on Thursday to create room on their 40-man roster after acquiring infielder Joey Ortiz and left-handed pitcher DL Hall in the trade that sent 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes to the Baltimore Orioles.

The San Francisco Giants and free-agent slugger Jorge Soler are reportedly discussing a contract. Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reported the two sides are "in talks" but did not indicate how close they are to an agreement. The Giants are in desperate need of help in their lineup. San Francisco finished 24th in runs scored and 19th in home runs last season, and the front office whiffed on landing a number of high-profile free agents this offseason.

The 2024 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List continues on, and we officially have a top 20. After running away with Friday's vote, right-handed pitcher Trevor McDonald has been voted as the No. 20 prospect in the San Francisco Giants organization. It's a rise of three spots for McDonald over last year's CPL placement. McDonald's situation is pretty straightforward, for better and for worse. When he's healthy, he's dominant; but he's often not healthy. Taken in the 11th round of the 2019 draft (which isn't a very accurate way of looking at him, since he received a signing bonus in line with a Competitive Balance Round B pick, in between the second and third rounds), McDonald is still

Caleb Ferguson was 7-4 with three saves and a 3.43 ERA in 61 relief appearances and seven starts last year

Now, could the San Francisco Giants use a DH of Jorge Soler's caliber? In 137 games last season, the slugger hit .250/.341/.512 (.853 OPS) with 36 home runs. It'd be an interesting pivot after the front office's reportedly late and small offer to ostensible DH Rhys Hoskins, and it's plausible that Hoskins' 1 plus 1 deal with the Brewers could be a template for Soler.

Patrick Bailey's rookie 2023 MLB season was one of the Giants' few bright spots last year, and the young catcher hopes to be even better in 2024.

In an interview with NBC Sports Bay Area on Saturday at Giants Fan Fest, Bailey described how special it was to be a finalist for the award, something he views as a standard for himself year in and year out.
