The San Francisco Giants have reached a deal to acquire star third baseman Kris Bryant from the Chicago Cubs, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan on Friday.
The Cubs received two prospects in return -- outfielder Alexander Canario and right-hander Caleb Kilian.
Bryant, who is hitting .267 with 18 home runs and 51 RBIs this season, adds immediate punch to the Giants lineup as San Francisco tries to stave off the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.
San Francisco, despite injuries to many of its top players, leads the division by three games entering Friday's games.
