The was a whole lot of talk about the San Francisco Giants leading up to the deadline. Would they trade Keds Carlos Rodón? Would they trade Joc Pederson? Would they trade Wilmer Flores? Would they be buyers?
The answers are, in order: no, no, no, and no.
The deadline has come and g la dodgers mlb jersey hockey one, and San Francisco was mostly quiet. They traded four MLB players, and two of them had yet to play for the Giants. The other two had combined for +0.6 WAR this year.
The biggest move was trading Darin Ruf after his two brilliant years in 2020 and 2021. But while Ruf’s lovability and smile can’t be replaced, his on field production can be. Specifically by the person they traded him for: J.D. Davis, who profiles as a very similar player to Ruf, but a lot younger and with an extra year of team control. The Giants also got three pitching prospects from the New York Mets, including their No. 20 and 21 prospects, per Fangraphs.

That’s not nothing!
Then they turned around and sent catcher Curt Casali — as well as starting right-handed pitcher Matt Boyd, who was injured when he signed and remains injured toMatt Olson Braves Jerseys day — to the Seattle Mariners.

The Giants didn’t go all-in by buying, which makes sense. But they also didn’t really sell. You can make the case that they’re just as good today as they were la dodgers mlb jersey generator yesMookie Betts terday, which gives them a chance to make a run down the stretch, all while keeping their best players and bolstering their farm a little.
Sounds like they’re ready.
Carlos Rodón: “It’s great. I don’t have to go anywhere.” And “We know we’re here. Let’s try to frickin’ win. We’re here. Might as well do it.”
