A couple of additional items…

SF gives up their 3rd round draft choice (in addition to their #2 which they lost when they signed Chapman) and $500K in international signing dollars (in addition to the $500K they lost when they signed Chapman).  

Also, the Giants are now in the first tier of luxury tax penalties.  At this point, they are on the hook for a $4 million penalty.  This could change as the season progresses and they add and subtract players.

If only they could find someone to take Conforto's albatross of a contract. They should promote Luis Matos, with eight extra base hits in ten hits this spring. As a 21 year old, he hit .353/.404/.626/1.030 in AAA last year. And he did pretty well in the majors, .250/.319/.342/.661, with just 33 strikeouts in 253 plate appearances.
