The Giants will get a player to be named later or cash. They didn't *not* say it was going to be Paul Goldschmidt.
The Giants designated right-handed reliever Cody Hall for assignment after signing Denard Span last week, and they found a taker for him on the trade market. The Diamondbacks acquired Hall, according to Ken Rosenthal, which means the Giants didn't just acquire Span. They acquired Span and a prospect to be named later.
Hall made his major-league debut with the Giants in 2015, after the 27-year-old posted a 3.46 ERA in Sacramento with 55 strikeouts and 26 walks in 67u2154 innings.
