Andy Thomas C. DOB: 6/17/1998. B-L, T-R. 6'2", 210 lbs. Drafted 2021 Round 5(Mariners).
2022(A+- Mariners): .264/.400/.444, 9 HR, 16.2 BB%, 24.9 K%, 265 PA.
2022(A+- Giants): .174/.304/.221, HR, 14.7 BB%, 24.5 K%, 102 PA.
Under-the-radar acquisition at the trade deadline last year coming over from the Mariners in the Curt Casali/Matt Boyd trade. The best part of this trade is there is no immediate roster pressure on Thomas as he still has two full seasons before he is eligible for the Rule 5 draft so plenty of time to develop. Discrepancy between his performance before and after the trade can be almost completely explained by extremes of BABIP luck. The man definitely knows how to take a walk!
Just saw on McCoveyChronicles that the Giants hopped back in on the Correa negotiations after the Mets deal fell apart. But they didn't top the Twins. Looking at it with no medical experience it seems like the Twins got a steal. I am surprised the Giants couldn't offer more.

Only time will tell if the Twins got a steal or if the Giants dodged a bullet.
