Giants acquire outfielder Joey Wiemer from Marlins for cash

The San Francisco Giants acquired outfielder Joey Wiemer from the Miami Marlins for cash considerations after Wiemer was DFA'd earlier this week. The 26-year-old, a 2020 fourth-round pick, reached MLB in 2023 with Milwaukee, hitting 13 homers but posting a 76 wRC+. Despite a career 74 wRC+, Wiemer offers elite sprint speed (89th percentile) and strong outfield defense (6 OAA in 2023), capable of playing all three spots, aligning with the Giants' priority to improve their 30th-ranked outfield defense.
