Bailey received an invitation Friday to the Giants' major-league spring training.
EDGE Analysis
The 13th overall pick in the 2020 first-year player draft, Bailey will be in big-league camp during his first spring training as a professional. He has yet to make a game appearance due to the cancellation of the minor-league season last year, but he was added to San Francisco's 60-man player pool and worked at the alternate training site.

Bailey signed with the Giants for a $3.8 million bonus Wednesday and will join the team's 60-man player pool, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bailey signed for slightly under the slot value for the 13th pick ($4.2 million). While it would be something of a surprise to see Bailey make his big-league debut in his first professional season, teams will generally want to carry extra insurance at the catcher position this year, so it's not a shock to see him added to the pool. Bailey is a defense-first catcher who isn't likely to have a ton of fantasy upside even at his peak, so he's unlikely to be of much interest to fantasy owners this year if he's pressed into duty ahead of schedule.
