Alexander Suarez OF. DOB: 12/20/2001. B-R, T-R. 6'2", 200 lbs. Rule 5 Eligible
2023(A): .245/.310/.353, 5 HR, 22 SB, 5.4 BB%, 27.2 K%, 404 PA. Probably one of the more tooled up players in the organization but will he ever hit enough? I believe he is a cousin of Luis Matos.
Estanlin Cassiani OF. DOB: 12/30/2002. B-L, T-L. 5'11", 155 lbs. Rule 5 eligible Dec 2024.
2023(ACL): .314/.387/.414, 12 2B, HR, 5 SB, 9.9 BB%, 15.2 K%, 191 PA.
Pretty good walk rate despite being a contact hitter with little power. Should move up to SJ for 2024.
Samuel Reyes OF. DOB: 1/27/2003. B-R, T-R. 6'0", 170 lbs.
.378/.478, 432, 15.2 BB%, 13.0 K%, 46 PA.
IDK much about him. Don't recall ever noticing him before I looked up the current rosters despite 2023 being his third season in the organization. Hit .305 in his age 18 season in the DSL. Struggled to a .222 in his first ACL season in 2022. Improved that a lot last season but in a SSS. Who is this guy and is he going to move up to SJ in 2024?
Carlos Molina LHP. DOB: 2/7/2005. 6'0", 190 lbs.
2023(ACL): 4-0, 3.90, 30 IP, 10.5 K/9, 3.3 BB/9. GB/FB= 1.45. Most intriguing part of his line is DOB. Not all that many 18 yo in in ACL. Also a lefty.
Christian Avendano RHP. DOB: 9/4/2003. 6'0", 168 lbs.
2023(ACL): 0-1, 4.67, 27 IP, 13.33 K/9, 6.67 BB/9. Was a hitter in the DSL in 2022. Converted to pitching in 2023 and promoted to ACL after 3 IP in the DSL. Just looking at the line I'm going to guess he throws really hard.
Woo hoo, a trade that will make a lot of Giant fans happy!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure why all the reporters are saying the money is a wash:
DeleteGiants Side:
MH:
2024 $17m (Opt out after this season)
2025 $15.5m
AD:
2024: $12m
Giants also kicked in 6m
So Giants sent: 38.5m dollars in salary to the Mariners assuming everyone opts in which is likely.
--------------------------------------------
Mariners Side:
Robbie Ray
2024: 23m (opt out after 2024)
2025: 25m
2026: 25m
Mariners send: 73m in salary obligations assuming he opts in. Which is likely.
So the final trade is looking a lot like:
Haniger + Disco for Ray and 34m extra in salary obligations.
After doing the math on the $$$ and knowing how good of a player Ray is. I think I would rather have Haniger and Disco as dead money. Maybe I need more time to chew on it though.

The money is even for 2024 but not in total money. I think Farhan thinks Ray is more likely to bounce back than Haniger/DeSclafani and I think Ray starting 2024 in the 60-day IL gives some CBT relief for this year if the Giants are planning on going up to the limit.
DeleteAnother wounded Dove I guess! He won the Cy Young in 2021! Ok1
ReplyDeleteAppears to me combined salary dumps if I am not correct.
I know I cant say the F-Word !!WTF!!!
Come on Farhan get your head out of your A Space.
For god sakes!!!

It is an odd trade and you have to squint pretty hard to see it helping the Giants much, if at all.
DeleteGetting a potential near-ACE for a couple mediocres seems like a good move: the upside is high, the low side is little
