Kris Bryant has arrived at Oracle Park and San Francisco Giants fans are surely going to love seeing him at his new home.
Right ahead of the MLB trade deadline on Friday, the San Francisco Giants pulled off quite the move by acquiring Kris Bryant from the Chicago Cubs. This deal came right at the buzzer, as multiple teams were working to try and land him.
The Giants won the sweepstakes, though, and now the stud third baseman is ready to make plays at his new home. Bryant arrived to Oracle Park on Sunday and you can see from the photos below that he’s fired up to be in town.

Bryant had been with the Cubs since 2015, of course helping Chicago win the World Series back in 2016. He was a fan favorite over the years. Folks in the Windy City will surely miss his amazing plays at the hot corner and his ability to send the ball to the moon while at the dish.
Now, though, Bryant is ready to try and win a ring with San Francisco. The Giants are in first place of the NL West with their 65-39 record. They’re truly looking like one of the best teams in baseball. Adding Bryant is only going to make them even stronger.
On the year, the slugger is hitting .267, with 18 homers and 51 RBI. While it’s going to be a bit stranger seeing him don a different uniform moving forward, there’s no question he’ll be ready to rock as soon as he makes his debut.
Giants supporters can’t wait to see what he’ll be able to get done the rest of the campaign. Bryant very well could help this team win another World Series.
