The Giants made a surprise move, trading for former first-round pick Daniel Susac, adding a high-upside catching prospect to a system that’s still searching for long-term answers behind the plate. We break down the scouting report, why the Giants targeted him, and whether this signals anything about the future of Patrick Bailey, Blake Sabol, or the overall catching depth chart.
Plus — Buster Posey and Zack Minasian go out of their way to praise Casey Schmitt as the likely starter at second base, with both leaders highlighting his offensive strides, defensive versatility, and recovery from wrist surgery. Is Schmitt really locked into the job, or is this setting the stage for a spring training battle?
We also take a closer look at what Susac’s addition means for the 2026 MLB Draft, especially now that the Giants have jumped into premium position to select an impact bat or frontline pitching talent.
