Jeff Kent’s Son Joins Giants | MLB News

Jeff Kent’s son Kaeden just got traded to the Giants—same team Jeff played for in 1996—creating a wild, full-circle moment. The deal happened right before the August 3 deadline, with Kaeden heading to San Francisco as part of a swap for Heliot Ramos. Jeff found out via phone notification and admitted he was conflicted: proud of his son joining a great org he knows well, but also worried about Kaeden stepping into his shadow, facing the same media scrutiny and pressure. Kaeden, a third-round Yankee pick now ranked 20th on the Giants’ prospect list, was hitting .300+ with power before an injury sidelined him. He’s headed to High-A Eugene. And get this—Jeff himself will be back in SF this Saturday as the Giants retire his 21, handing out replica Hall of Fame rings to the first 21,000 fans. A historic weekend for the Kent family and Giants lore.
