If you hadn’t heard the news, the Giants are probably making everyone but Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford available ahead of the July 31st trade deadline. It’s only a rumor, sure, but given the context, it’s not completely without merit.
Last month, I tried to figure out just who the Giants could make available for trade to accomplish their CBT goal while trying to compete, factoring in all the complexities of nostalgia and season ticket holders. I broke it down into three categories: (1) Players teams will want (2) Salaries they’ll want to shed (3) Players they shouldn’t move but will in the “right deal”.
