Less than a year ago, the Giants pulled off a trade for Andrew McCutchen, hoping that a solid veteran bat, even if past his prime, would help propel the team to heights in 2018. That…didn’t happen, although McCutchen wasn’t the problem on the team. Now, the Giants have traded him to the Yankees, and gotten a couple of prospects back. Did they do well?
Before we dive in, a quick reminder: The Yankees are paying for a one-month-plus-playoffs(?) rental, and McCutchen is a good player but not a gamechanger at this point.
