Many of SF Giants' top prospects headline wave of promotions in the upper minors

On Friday, the SF Giants announced a wave of promotions in the upper minors. Gavin Kilen, Dakota Jordan, and Trevor Cohen are moving up to Double-A. Similarly, Bo Davidson and Parks Harber have earned a promotion to Triple-A.

Both clubs could use the reinforcements. The Sacramento River Cats had been running a skeleton crew of position players heading into the All-Star break. On many nights, they only had one bench player in case of an injury.

They now get two of the club's better position player prospects in Davidson and Harber. Both players could be in consideration for a promotion to the major league roster by the end of the year, but performance will dictate that conversation.

Davidson got off to a slow start in Double-A, but he went on a tear as soon as the calendar turned to June. He posted a 1.072 OPS with 11 home runs and 23 RBI in 110 plate appearances last month. Overall, the left-handed bat had an .861 OPS with 19 home runs and 53 RBI in 315 plate appearances for the Richmond Flying Squirrels.

Davidson will be bringing Parks Harber with him to Sacramento. Harber impressed the coaching staff in spring training, but sustained a hamstring strain that sidelined him for the first few weeks of the year. He had an .879 OPS with 12 home runs and 47 RBI in 298 plate appearances. Originally a corner infielder, Harber has been taking more reps in the outfield.

The Eugene Emeralds were one of the best teams in the minors during the first half of the year. However, some of their key players are now on the move. Gavin Kilen and Trevor Cohen were the team's top picks in 2025. Kilen registered an .811 OPS with nine home runs and 65 RBI in 349 plate appearances in High-A. Cohen tallied an .803 OPS with three home runs and 28 RBI in 380 plate appearances. He also swiped 26 bases in 34 chances. Both prospects also excel at moving the line.

Dakota Jordan will join Kilen and Cohen in Richmond. The right-handed bat put up an .879 OPS with 18 home runs and 66 RBI in 355 plate appearances. He has some of the loudest tools in the organization, including above-average speed and power.

When the Giants selected Jordan in the fourth round of the 2024 draft, there were some swing-and-miss concerns. Those have not gone away entirely, but the Giants have gotten him to make more contact at the plate compared to his college days.
