Giants, Athletics, Orioles, Rockies, and Pirates pens
Jul 24 2026
As we hurtle towards the trade deadline, there are enough teams in it that it should be a seller's market. But we shall see. In the meantime, here are five pens that are worth a look, starting with the San Francisco Giants.
The Giants had a horrific April, have been better lately, and part of that has been stabilizing the bullpen with Caleb Kilian (RHP, SF) installed at closer and Erik Miller (LHP, SF) and Keaton Winn (RHP, SF) in a traditional leverage set-up from left and right. Here are the numbers so far:
| SF | SV | HD | IP | ERA | xERA | WHIP | K% | K-BB% | HR/9 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kilian, Caleb | 8 | 3 | 40.1 | 4.69 | 3.90 | 1.34 | 27% | 17% | 1.1 |
| Miller, Erik | 2 | 10 | 29.1 | 3.07 | 3.34 | 1.43 | 32% | 16% | 0.6 |
| Winn, Keaton | 1 | 11 | 33.2 | 3.21 | 3.93 | 1.07 | 19% | 11% | 0.5 |
| Smith, Dylan | 1 | 3 | 15.0 | 3.00 | 4.71 | 1.20 | 24% | 14% | 1.2 |
| Brubaker, JT | 1 | 3 | 49.1 | 2.74 | 4.83 | 1.14 | 18% | 8% | 0.7 |
