The San Francisco Giants just made perhaps the least surprising move of the offseason, agreeing to trade cash considerations to the New York Mets in exchange for switch-hitting positionless wonder Cooper Hummel.
The news was first reported by Fansided’s Robert Murray.
Source: The Giants are acquiring catcher/outfielder Cooper Hummel from the Mets. Hummel had recently been designated for assignment by New York.

This extremely unsurprising news was only made possible by last month’s extremely surprising news: that the Giants North Seattle Mariners waived Hummel without the Giants picking him up.
