Pirates Claim Former Top Prospect Marco Luciano From Giants

Former top-100 prospect Marco Luciano, 24, has been claimed by the Pittsburgh Pirates, ending his tenure with the San Francisco Giants. Luciano played just 41 games for the Giants, hitting .217 with no homers. Despite a move to the outfield last offseason, his defense was poor, and he posted a .749 OPS in Triple-A. Out of options after 2025, the Giants' failure in his development led to losing him for nothing. Luciano joins Joey Bart in Pittsburgh, where his power potential remains unquestioned.
