The San Francisco Giants are trading catcher Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians in exchange for pitching prospect Matt Wilkinson and the No. 29 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Bailey, who has struggled offensively this season, recently lost his starting position despite being an elite defensive catcher since his debut. Wilkinson, a left-handed pitcher with a 1.59 ERA at Double-A, was a 10th-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. The No. 29 pick is part of the competitive balance round A, awarded to smaller market teams.
