Andrew McCutchen was the Giants’ best hitter, person

Overall: 682 PA, .255/.368/.424, 20 HR, 65 RBI

The Andrew McCutchen trade might not be remembered with the same sort of fondness as the Hunter Pence trade or the Cody Ross acquisition, but it wasn’t a bad move. You could almost argue that it was the best offseason move made by the Giants last year. (It wasn’t. Signing Tony Watson was the best move, and it’s not especially close.)

There were two ways for the trade to work out. McCutchen could have kept up his resurgent 2017 campaign and helped the Giants into a postseason berth.
