The deal also included outfielder James Tibbs III, last year’s first-round selection, and 20-year-old right-hander Jose Bello. Despite Devers’ talents, the Giants kept Bryce Eldridge, their top overall prospect, and left-hander Carson Whisenhunt, their top pitching prospect.

The future is bright for the Giants’ starting rotation, as a handful of young, exciting arms are breaking through or soon could break through at the major-league level. However, there only are so many spots up for grabs.

LHP Kyle Harrison will take the mound for the Giants. In seven games and 18.2 IP, he has a 4.34 ERA, including 19 strikeouts. Leading off for the Rockies will be lefty Carson Palmquist, who currently has an 8.50 ERA across 8.50 IP. That includes 14 Ks.
