Happy Luis Hernández Day to all who celebrate. The Giants officially sign 17-year-old Venezuelan shortstop Luis Hernández for $5 million, and early evaluations suggest this is far more than a long-term lottery ticket. Multiple scouts believe Hernández is advanced enough to jump straight to Class A, with rare maturity, polish, and tool development for his age — making him one of the most MLB-ready international signees in this class. We break down what makes Hernández special, how he fits into a rapidly improving Giants farm system, and what his arrival means alongside elite prospects like Josuar González and Bryce Eldridge. Plus, we revisit the Nico Hoerner trade debate, why Chicago is likely holding firm, and how the Giants’ growing prospect depth could eventually create real trade flexibility. The present may feel middling, but the long game in San Francisco is starting to look a lot more intentional.
