EDGE Analysis

He last saw major-league action with the Royals in 2023, when he went 6-for-31 (.194) with one home run and three RBI in 11 regular-season games.

EDGE Analysis

Porter is being jettisoned from the 40-man roster to make room for Huascar Brazoban, who was acquired in a trade with Miami on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Porter hasn't played in the majors yet this year, though his .853 OPS in Triple-A could attract some attention on the waiver wire from other clubs in need of organizational depth behind the plate.

EDGE Analysis

Porter initiated the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract with the Giants earlier this week, and he's managed to land a big-league deal in a new organization. With Francisco Alvarez and Luis Torrens performing well as the Mets' catching duo, Porter will be assigned to Syracuse where he will provide depth. The 29-year-old is slashing .293/.390/.500 with eight home runs in 53 games this season at the Triple-A level.

Porter has initiated the opt-out clause in his minor-league contract with the Giants, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 in Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants can either add him to their 40-man roster or trade him to another team that would add him to its 40-man roster. If neither of those moves happen, Porter must be granted his release. The 29-year-old is slashing .293/.390/.500 with eight homers in 53 games this season at the Triple-A level.

The Giants acquired Porter from the Royals on Friday in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.

EDGE Analysis

Porter, 28, saw some spot duty with the Royals last season but has spent all of 2024 at Triple-A Omaha, where he's put up a 1.003 OPS with six homers. He'll give the Giants some catching depth at Triple-A Sacramento.
