If your comment got deleted, it was a mistake. Apologies.<br /><br />Belt's contract is not bad. With an open market price of $8.4 M/fWAR, Belt is already more than halfway toward earning his keep and should continue to do so rather easily for the duration of his contract.<br /><br />Belt is one player who the Giants could consider trading to create payroll flexibility, but they would need to get a nice haul in return to make it a good deal.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-24277814662807311382017-06-07T18:01:34.458-07:002017-06-07T18:01:34.458-07:00Why trade Belt?

Meanwhile his OBP is 2nd on the team at .355 and his WRC+ is 119. If he had better speed, he'd be a great lead-off. As it is 2nd & 3rd are great spots in the order for him. And it's not even a good season for him at the plate. <br /><br />Meanwhile he continues to provide some of the best 1B defense in all of MLB.<br /><br />If we're going to be trading people there are a lot of others that should be on the trade seat:<br /><br />Cueto<br />Pence<br />Moore<br />Nunez<br />SpanMosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-72596265619178449972017-06-07T12:47:00.991-07:002017-06-07T12:47:00.991-07:00I wouldn't mind if the Giants were able to tra...I wouldn't mind if the Giants were able to trade Belt. I would be surprised if the Giants trade Belt or that the Yankees would want him. For some reason I believe this is a regroup season, not a rebuild. So Cueto, Nunez, and Hundley may be traded, but not much else. I'm probably jumping the gun on this, but I think Belt's contract is a bad one. I honestly don't think he will be ever be the hitter Sabean wants him to be. The Nationals with Melancon is another one commenters on other sites have mentioned, which I don't think would happen. That would signal more than a regroup for the Giants.Eriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-12974383898640396662017-06-07T06:28:01.112-07:002017-06-07T06:28:01.112-07:00In addition to Núñez, maybe NY would like a slick ...In addition to Núñez, maybe NY would like a slick fielding LHB 1Bman, too?<br />Yankee Stadium isn't Chase Field but HRs are hit there, a lot more so than AT&T.

A true cleanup hitter. As to possible trades. Detroit may be interested in Nunez also if they are still in the AL Central race around the trade deadline. With Price coming back to the Bosox, the Yankees and Orioles might give Cueto a hard look. Eriknoreply@blogger.com
