The San Francisco Giants took a light approach to the trade deadline — but that doesn’t mean it didn’t help boost the organization’s Top 30 prospects.

Along with the Top 30 re-rank, the Giants brought in two players via trade that immediately moved into the rankings, according to Baseball America.

The Top 30 rankings reflected all of the trades that were made by the deadline.

Left-handed pitcher Jacob Bresnahan was the return for veteran pitcher Alex Cobb, as the former Cleveland Guardians prospect moved to No. 23 on the Giants’ list.

After him was third baseman Sabin Ceballos at No. 25. He was part of the return that sent outfielder Jorge Soler and pitcher Luke Jackson to the Atlanta Braves. Along with Ceballos, the Giants got pitcher Tyler Matzek.

For the most part, the Giants’ Top 30 list remained intact, beginning with first baseman Bryce Eldredge, who played in the MLB Futures Game last month at All-Star weekend, remained the No. 1 prospect in the system.

Two of the Giants’ top three prospects have played in the Majors already. Shortstop Marco Luciano made his MLB debut last season and has spent 10 games with San Francisco this season.

Pitcher Hayden Birdsong, ranked No. 3, was called up in June and pitched in five games before he was optioned back to Sacramento. He will rejoin the rotation on Tuesday.   

Birdsong was among the top risers in the organization in the first half, along with pitcher Joe Whitman. Outfielder Vaun Brown and shortstop Cade Foster were among the prospects that fell in the Top 30.

The new additions to the Top 30 included pitcher Randy Rodriguez (No. 24), outfielder Jose Ortiz (No. 28) and outfielder Lisbel Diaz (No. 29)

Three draft picks moved into the Top 30, starting with first-round pick James Tibbs III at No. 4. Second-round pick Dakota Jordan was slotted at No. 5 and fourth-round pick Robert Hipwell came in at No. 16.

SAN FRANCISCO – The former director of a San Francisco nonprofit is set to be arraigned on Tuesday, according to the San Francisco District Attorney.

On Monday, the DA charged Jonathan Jacobo with one count of rape, one count of oral copulation by force, one count of sexual battery by restraint and one count of domestic violence. 

The 35-year-old is accused of assaulting a former girlfriend in 2021 after she had communicated to him that she did not want any sexual contact.

The DA’s office said Jacobo raped a woman he was previously in a relationship with. The woman “ended the intimate relationship and made it clear to Mr. Jacobo that she was only interested in a platonic friendship,” prosecutors said in a statement.

Jacobo sexually assaulted the woman in his home after she had “explicitly communicated to him that she did not want any sexual contact, which he stated he understood,” prosecutors said. 

Jacobo resigned from his position with an affordable housing nonprofit in April. 

SAN FRANCISCO — Jen Hall has owned The Beer Hall off Polk Street in San Francisco for 11 years.

“We opened 11 years ago today. We opened in 2013 and so, yeah, we’re just trying to be a cornerstone for this neighborhood,” Hall said.

The Beer Hall is right across from X’s headquarters and, back in 2013 when the company was called Twitter, Jen says this area was the place to be.

“It was definitely the heyday. When we opened, Twitter was here, it was sort of a tech hub. There were other tech offices, residential buildings were going up and there were just a lot more people,” Hall said.

Jen says they used to partner with Twitter, providing beverage services for the building and hosting happy hours for their employees.

Things were going great, then the pandemic hit.

“The streets, it’s just not the same. People aren’t going out anymore,” Hall said.

Jen says the work-from-home mandates gutted the neighborhood and their business.

When Elon Musk bought Twitter and started moving things around Jen says that only added to the issues. Now that Musk has announced X is officially leaving the city, Jen says the worst of the impact is probably already behind them.

“He’s been pretty vocal about his disdain for San Francisco and its current state. Honestly, it’s been bad news for this neighborhood for the past four years,” Hall said.

Now Jen says she just wants to focus on the future. Her business continues to chug along and they’re hoping other businesses in the area can do the same.

“I certainly hope that people will come back. I think that small businesses are the heart of San Francisco. That’s why people want to live here and stay here,” Hall said.

Jen says it’ll certainly be sad to see what once was such an iconic building sit vacant but she’s hopeful it’ll find a new tenant and this neighborhood will find a new energy.
