[Giants]

Switching back to baseball…

The Athletic published a number of trades suggested by fans (I didn’t see yours, lex, however; the writer indicated he would review more fan-suggested trades in a future article) with some comments by the writer.

One Giants trade that was included was intriguing.

Cubs trade C Willson Contreras to the Giants for C Joey Bart and LHP Seth Cory (as part of the trade, the Cubs give SF a four day window to sign Contreras, which they do).

Note: Contreras is signed through 2022.  I assume the “window” comment references a contract extension). 

I like the deal because it gives the Giants a proven major league catcher without sacrificing any high end prospects (I am not a big fan of Bart).
