"That, of course, doesn't necessarily make a trade of Eldridge particularly likely. It's somewhat rare for players and prospects to be completely unavailable in trade talks as the majority of modern front offices have developed a willingness to listen on virtually any player. With that being said, it's not often that a prospect with Eldridge's pedigree winds up moving. The 21-year-old was San Francisco's first-round pick in the 2023 draft and is a consensus top-20 prospect in the entire sport at this point."
"The slugger crushed 25 homers in just 102 games between Double- and Triple-A this year while hitting .260/.333/.510 overall across both levels. Few up-and-coming youngsters possess the raw power potential of Eldridge, who is listed at 6'7" and 240 pounds. He struck out at a 30.8% clip at the Triple-A level this past year, raising concerns about his ability to make consistent contact against MLB-caliber pitching."
Bryce Eldridge debuted with the Giants in 2025, appearing in ten major-league games with lackluster results but remains projected as a major part of the San Francisco offense given the current roster. Eldridge "isn't off the table" in trade talks heading into the Winter Meetings, leaving him available despite strong prospect pedigree. Eldridge was a 2023 first-round pick and is a consensus top-20 prospect after hitting .260/.333/.510 with 25 homers across Double- and Triple-A. Concerns include a 30.8% Triple-A strikeout rate and the Giants' acquisition of Rafael Devers at first base, which complicates his role.
