The San Francisco Giants have pulled off a trade for a promising young catcher with the Royals.
from the Royals, the Giants have acquired catcher Logan Porter from Kansas City for cash considerations or a player to be named later.During the 2023 season with the Royals, Porter played in 11 games and ended up hitting .194/.324/.323 with one home run and three RBI.
So far during the 2024 season, Porter has played for the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Triple-A affiliate of Kansas City. He has put up good numbers, batting .319 to go along with six home runs and 22 RBI.Patrick Bailey has been performing decently, but they don't have another viable option behind him, something that was seen when their full-time starter missed time with an injury.
Porter could find himself in a backup role, or at the very least, being the first option the Giants call if any of their catchers miss more time on the IL. Granted, this isn't the kind of move that gets fans extremely excited, but San Francisco made a good move to add depth to this roster by acquiring a player with potential for a cheap price.PublishedEvan Massey is a sports reporter and analyst who covers both the NFL and NBA.
