The player the San Francisco Giants will receive in exchange for Kratz was announced on Monday, and it is right-handed reliever Matt Seelinger.
Despite being drafted in the 28th round of the 2017 MLB draft, this is already the second time Seelinger has been traded. The Pirates sent him to Tampa Bay last summer in the deal that brought veteran shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria to Pittsburgh.
The 24-year-old looks to be a pitcher in demand. This may not be the type of move that jumps off the page or stirs up the fan base, but it could be an under-the-radar move that pays dividends down the road.
