The Cleveland Guardians acquired two-time Gold Glove-winning catcher Patrick Bailey from the San Francisco Giants on Saturday in exchange for the No. 29 pick in this year's draft and left-handed prospect Matt Wilkinson.
Bailey, 26, has won a Gold Glove in each of the last two seasons and joins a Cleveland team that features Austin Hedges and Bo Naylor behind the plate. The Guardians promptly optioned Naylor to Triple-A Columbus.
Bailey is batting .146 with one homer and five RBIs in 30 games this season for the Giants. He is hitting .224 with 22 homers and 154 RBIs in 383 career games with San Francisco.
'From unbelievable defense to unforgettable walk-off home runs, we thank you, Patrick, and wish you good luck,' the Giants posted on X.
Wilkinson, 23, is 1-2 with a 1.59 ERA in six appearances (all starts) this season at Double-A Akron. He was selected by Cleveland in the 10th round of the 2023 MLB Draft.
