Terrific!  Sabin Ceballos and Tyler Matzek are headed to SF.

Sarcasm? Ceballos is the Braves 17th ranked prospect and Matzek is on the 60 day IL. Looks like Farhan is selling, and selling on the cheap. . . .

Nope.  I thought it was a great deal.  Dumping a couple guys who aren’t in the team’s plans for next season along with getting significant salary relief in 2025 (they have to get under the CBT limit, otherwise the penalties start to pile up) was exactly what SF should be doing at the trading deadline.  I am hoping for more trades today.

Update:  It appears Luciano may be returning from Sacramento to be the DH as well as play in the field.

Giants need hitting. Seemingly, Soler's bat was coming alive. Unless they have a solid replacement coming in via trade, I'm puzzled. Luciano is hitting under .250 for the River Cats. Doubt he'll be the needed bat.

Soler was a major bust.  Luciano is the future.  I am more excited about the Giants today than at any point in the recent past.  Finally, Zaidi is thinking about the future with a roster full of young talent rather than the present with a roster full of broken down vets well past their sell by date. 

I still have grave doubts about Zaidi but I must give him credit for trading Soler with no salary retained.

UPDATE:  Cobb is on his way to Cleveland thus opening the door for Birdsong.  Another great move!

Among players with more than a handful of appearances, Soler was second in OPS in June behind Ramos and second in July behind Yaz. The Giants need a bat, and they had one.

Gotta wonder about the Cobb trade, as well. I thought he was part of the calvary. . . .
