Giants GM Outlines Long-Term Vision for Promising Prospect Bryce Eldridge

San Francisco Giants general manager Zack Minasian discussed the organization's long-term plans for top prospect Bryce Eldridge following his September call-up. While nothing is set in stone for the 2026 MLB season, Minasian envisions Eldridge potentially splitting time at first base and designated hitter, possibly with Rafael Devers. Despite slashing .125/.300/.208 in 24 at-bats since his September 14 call-up, Eldridge has impressed the front office with his defense, high exit velocity, and patience at the plate, evidenced by five walks. The 20-year-old slugger, who was promoted twice in 2025 after starting in Double-A, is also praised for his strong personality and work ethic.
