"We think the sky's the limit for this guy, Posey said of Eldridge, who should be ready for spring training after undergoing left wrist surgery in October. I know he didn't put up great numbers in his limited playing time but he didn't look like he was overmatched or scared and thought he had some really good at-bats for not even being 21."
"I'm not one to say that there are untouchables in any scenario. You try to stay open-minded as to not limit your player pool of who you can potentially access, but obviously, there are some players that are just very difficult to move because of the fit, because of their ability, what you think they will be at the major-league level."
Buster Posey indicated the Giants will listen to inquiries about Bryce Eldridge while expressing strong confidence in his long-term potential. Eldridge underwent left wrist surgery in October and is expected to be ready for spring training. Posey praised Eldridge's composed at-bats and rapid advancement through Double-A and Triple-A at ages 19 and 20 despite limited minor-league numbers. The 6-foot-7 first baseman projects as a potential impact bat for 10–15 years. San Francisco's two rotation vacancies make Eldridge a conceivable centerpiece in a trade for an established arm, though the club may prefer to retain him. General manager Zack Minasian said the organization remains open-minded about trades while recognizing some players are difficult to move.
