San Francisco Giants lock in top draft picks Jackson Flora and Peyton Bonds

The San Francisco Giants selected right‑handed pitcher Jackson Flora with the fourth overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. The 21‑year‑old from UC Santa Barbara signed a below‑slot contract valued at roughly $7.9 million, providing the club with savings to allocate to later selections.

In the third round, the Giants reached a full‑slot agreement with outfielder Peyton Bonds, nephew of franchise legend Barry Bonds. Bonds, a former Rutgers player, signed for $877,000 after posting a .352 batting average with six home runs in his most recent college season. The two signings complete the Giants' early draft strategy, positioning the organization for a stronger farm system.
