Just coming to update for this trade.

That is pretty much my exact thought. He is destined to be DFA’d. Just a waste of time.

The Giants already have 7 outfielders set for AAA (Trenton Brooks, Yusniel Diaz, Luis Matos, Wade Meckler, Chase Pinder, Heliot Ramos and Blake Sabol). He doesn't carry a profile that screams "must have" over these guys.

I wouldn’t list Sabol in that group. And I think there will be significant trades still to come that should free up space. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ramos gone from that group specifically.

I think the Giants will continue to use Sabol as a catcher-outfielder hybrid. They seem to like that in their catchers (they did that with Jackson Reetz, Brett Aeuerbach, Thomas Gavello and a few other catchers in the farm last season). And I think he's ticketed for AAA with the Murphy signing (assuming Murphy is healthy to start the year. No guarantee given his last few seasons). Ramos may be subtracted but there is still plenty of outfielders left.

I'm not thrilled with the Giants' direction for 2024. They want to trade for a shortstop? Oh yay.

DeSclafani and Haniger for Ray

Lucy has all the potential in the world, but has a hard time staying healthy. Perhaps Fitz can fill in at short. He can hit and is fast, don't know how he is defensively. Almost anyone would be a downgrade from BC in his prime, but almost anyone would be an upgrade over BC's performance the last two seasons.

 

[Stokes1931]

Didn't Rosario play more 2nd base this past season? And Anderson bottomed out. Not sure I'd want him but maybe a 1 year deal would inspire him? (Although, his potential walk year didn't create any inspiration, unless he wasn't out of Chicago so badly that he made sure his option was not exercised).

There are rumors the Giants would trade for Kim from SD or someone else available on the trade market.

Hey, the Giants could have a reunion with Adrianza. Mondesi is a good player, right? Its hard to know when he's injured so much.

Rosario will be expecting to start somewhere so likely not a fit.

He's the offseason version of you on game day. Someone needs to balance out off season with in season.

We still need a top of the rotation arm. In the FA pool, that really only means Monty or Snell. There are potentially more options in the trade market.
