Bailey’s Big Move to Guardians | San Francisco Giants News

Patrick Bailey, once a Giants first-round pick and fan favorite, traded his San Francisco roots for Cleveland’s dugout — and it’s working out. After seeing his playing time dwindle earlier this season, he was dealt in May for a pitching prospect and draft pick. Though his bat didn’t always dazzle, his glove did — including walk-off grand slams and no-hitter catches that still bring a smile. Now thriving with the Guardians, who’re still playoff contenders, he’s also closer to family in North Carolina. Meanwhile, the Giants scramble behind the plate with five catchers this year, grooming young prospects like Susac and Rodriguez. Bailey still holds deep respect for SF — even if his time there ended sooner than planned — while he eyes a bright new chapter with Cleveland.
