According to Robert Murray, the #SFGiants are not close to anything yet on the pitcher side:
"They’re having conversations to bolster the unit but all indications are it will take some time for Buster Posey and the front office to land reinforcements."

Susac was a former first-round Draft pick of the A’s and should have a chance to compete to be Patrick Bailey’s backup next year.

The Daniel Susac trade is complete. Giants sent minor league catcher Miguel Caraballo and cash considerations to the Twins. As a Rule 5 pick, Susac has to stay on the roster, so he's the frontrunner at the moment to back up Patrick Bailey.
