Marco Luciano Claimed by Pirates, Ending Once-Glowing Giants Prospect Story

Luciano’s Giants chapter ended when the Pirates claimed the 24-year-old infielder off waivers, cutting ties with a former headline prospect. Signed in 2018, he reached the MLB in 2023 but hit just .217 with a .286 OBP and .304 slugging over 41 games. Pittsburgh now bets on his raw power and arm, while the Giants fans wonder what slipped away.
