SF Giants Sign MLB Legend’s Nephew
Earlier this month, the Giants selected Peyton Bonds in the 2026 MLB Draft.
He is the nephew of MLB legend Barry Bonds.
@SFGProspects wrote (on July 11): “With the 90th pick in the @MLBDraft, the @SFGiants have selected OF Peyton Bonds out of @RutgersBaseball”
It’s now been announced that Bonds has signed a deal with the Giants.
Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline wrote: “3rd-rder Peyton Bonds signs w/ @SFGiants for $887k (full slot 90 value). @RutgersBaseball OF, combination of bat speed, in-zone contact & exit velos portend future power. Good CF instincts too. Nephew of Barry, grandson of Bobby.”
Social Media On Peyton
Here’s what people have been saying:
Jeff Young: “Peyton Bonds gets slot value. The #SFGiants now have 2 of their 11 picks within the first 10 rounds signed.”
@ABartholomew_05: “Flora, Bonds, and Fisher are the confirmed bonuses so far. Giants can spend up to 5% over their pool so that leaves about $9,178,630 for the rest of their picks if I did the math right.”
Shayna Rubin: “Michael Holmes said they got a good look at Peyton Bonds while watching him at Rutgers w/ Trevor Cohen, a fast-rising prospect in SF’s system. The Barry part wasn’t so much a factor.”
Looking At Barry
As for Barry, he spent the final 15 seasons of his 22-year career with the Giants.
They reached the 2002 World Series.
He also broke the all-time home run record as a member of the franchise.
The 61-year-old retired with 762 career home runs.
SF Giants Right Now
The Giants have had a tough season despite their high-profile roster.
They are the fourth-place team in the National League West with a 42-56 record in 98 games.
Following Seattle, the Giants will visit the Kansas City Royals on Monday.
