Hot Stove League Update: Giants Find A Trade For Mason Black

The Giants traded recently DFA'd Mason Black RHP to the Royals for Logan Martin RHP.  Who is Logan Martin?  Glad you asked:

Logan Martin RHP:  DOB:  7/17/2001.  6' 1", 185 lbs.  Rule 5 Draft Eligible Dec. 2026.

A+:  8-4, 3.45, 91.1 IP, 7.69 K/9, 3.55 BB/9, 1.19 GB/FB.  

Scouting reports are sketchy but he seems to throw a mid-90's 4-seam fastball, cutter and slider from a low arm slot.  He should start 2026 in AA.  The trade gives the Giants a decent prospect with a year of development time before he must be added to the 40-man roster or exposed to the Rule 5 Draft in return for a player who ran out of time in the organization and was DFA'd.  That is always a good trade as you basically get something for nothing.
