Overview
- The Giants’ official transactions page lists both signings, with Kennedy’s deal dated Dec. 15 per his transactions log.
- Kennedy and Kilian each elected minor-league free agency after the season before joining San Francisco.
- Kennedy appeared in 13 MLB games in 2025 across the Phillies, Dodgers, and Blue Jays and went 2-for-29, though he owns a .281/.388/.429 line with 33 homers over 1,704 Triple-A plate appearances.
- Out of minor-league options, Kennedy has cycled through DFAs and waivers, and he projects as Triple-A infield depth given the Giants’ current internal options and reported interest in other infielders.
- Kilian, a former Giants prospect dealt to the Cubs in 2021, has logged a 9.22 ERA over 27 1/3 MLB innings and has battled injuries, positioning this deal as a chance to rebuild pitching depth once healthy.
