Giants Eye Marcelo Mayer’s Return | San Francisco Giants News

The Giants pulled off a surprise trade deadline move, snagging top prospect Marcelo Mayer from Boston — a gamble that could pay off big for the 2027 season and beyond. With arbitration eligibility not until 2029, they’ve got time to see if he can rebound. But with over two months off since June 25th and no firm rehab timeline yet, manager Tony Vitello is walking a tightrope: rushing him back risks injury, but waiting too long might cost them momentum. Mayer’s rookie year showed promise (.223 AVG), but this season’s stats took a hit — his OPS plummeted despite a slight uptick in OBP. The clock is ticking, and the Giants are betting on a healthy, productive return next year — if they’re patient enough to make it happen.
