The SF Giants made two trades right at the deadline last year by dealing Camilo Doval to the New York Yankees and Mike Yastrzemski to the Kansas City Royals. It seems pretty clear the Giants won the trade with the Yankees<\/a> given how badly Doval has struggled and it\u2019s becoming more obvious that the Giants quietly fleeced the Royals in the Yaz trade<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It was very sad to see Yastrzemski go to another team last year but the Giants limped their way into the trade deadline and Yastrzemski was set to be a free agent so the front office didn\u2019t really have a choice. They dealt Yastrzemski to Kansas City in exchange for right-handed pitcher Yunior Marte<\/a> who was the No. 20 prospect in the Royals\u2019 organization.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He is an interesting prospect with a lot of upside at the age of 22 and he\u2019s been quite impressive ever since joining San Francisco\u2019s organization. Last year with the San Jose Giants he pitched five games and had a 3.60 ERA in 20 inning work while striking out 17 batters.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He began 2026 in High-A with the Eugene Emeralds and continued to put up some solid numbers. In nine appearances and 43 and 1\/3 innings he had a 3.74 ERA with 41 strikeouts and 19 walks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n That earned him a promotion to Double-A Richmond<\/a> where he\u2019s made a good first impression. In two starts for the Flying Squirrels he has a 2.79 ERA in 9 and 2\/3 innings and has struck out 12 batters while allowing just three walks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He is steadily moving through the system and it wouldn\u2019t be a huge shock if he earned a promotion to Triple-A perhaps later this season or maybe begins next season with the Sacramento River Cats.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\nGiants could potentially have a solid bullpen arm in Yunior Marte<\/h2>\n
