This week, the Giants farm system has been put on notice about trades. On Sunday, the Giants made a salary dump to open up major league roster spots to young players, but used another prospect to make the salary dump more appealing to Texas, whom I’m now calling New Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, word on the street is that the Giants are listening to trade offers on almost everyone.
It’s still unclear whether the Giants are true buyers or sellers. They are on the cusp on playoff contention, but still frustratingly inconsistent. And the team has only one prospect really worth using to make a big acquisition…but would they trade Heliot Ramos?
