Top 10 prospect one year and waiver wire fodder the next? That's a big drop for how fast it happened.The Tampa Bay Rays have traded INF Osleivis Basabe to the San Francisco Giants in exchange for cash considerations.
If the last name sounds familiar, it's because Osleivis Basabe is a cousin to Luis Alexander Basabe, who appeared briefly and provided a spark of energy for the Giants in 2020. The 40-man roster is now full.
Osleivis was a top ten prospect in the TB system prior to 2024. Good defender but the bat is poor and got worse in 2024. Still only 24 years old so hoping for some growth. If not, he's AAA depth that can handle SS defensively.
He is also a cousin of Luis Matos.
