The deadline seemed like it had passed. Drew Pomeranz and Ray Black were sent to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for one of the Brewers’ top middle infield prospects, Mauricio Dubon, and Mark Melancon (who has another pricey year left on his deal) was sent to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for an underwhelming reliever and backend pitching prospect.
That seemed to be all.
Then, after the 1 p.m. deadline (4 p.m. ET) seemed shut, it was reported that Sam Dyson was also on the move to the Minnesota Twins.

In exchange for Dyson, the Giants reportedly received a triplet of prospects from the Twins: Prelander Berroa, Jaylin Davis and Kai-Wei Teng, according to Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register. Berroa is a 19-year-old pitching prospect from the Dominican Republic with a 4.55 ERA in 7 games in the Appalachian League, Davis is a 25-year-old right fielder drafted in the 24th round of the 2015 MLB draft who batted .331 in 41 Triple-A games this season, and Teng is a 20-year-old pitching prospect signed out of Taiwan with a 1.60 ERA in nine Single-A games this season.

According to Dereck Rodriguez, who played with Davis when he was with the Twins, Davis can, “hit the shit out of the ball.”
#sfgiants getting Jaylin Davis from #twins reportedly. D-Rod, who is here, played with him in minors. “He can hit the s—t out of the ball.” Right handed hitter with 1.100 IPS since moved to AAA.

But that was far from all that the Giants did after 1 p.m. had passed. According to Jeff Passan, the Giants also acquired second baseman Scooter Gennett from the Cincinatti Reds.
