Giants receive:

Giants accept. I see a ceiling of being an All-Star for Thompson, he had a great debut and has the athleticism to be something while he learns to put the bat on the ball, getting the 2 draft picks was key to this deal happening, as I wanted to get 1 for 3 value from Gonzales, I had to add Friedrich to make the deal happen, but am pleased with the return.

2016 Round 6 (Blue Jays)
Giants accept. I've read some good reports on Shaffer, he has good power and an opportunity to steal himself some playing time. However, I like Franco's swing and potential, Goodwin is guy that will work as insurance for milb system and the treat of the deal is getting another draft pick

Giants accept. This puts a huge hole in my already barren pitching staff and I think with Votto it's iffy whether Votto will continue perform with no protection in the Reds lineup, however Votto is an upgrade. I'll be rooting for both Sabathia and Hamilton to find what they once were.

Giants receive:

SP Touki Toussiant ARI (prospect)
SP Grant Holmes LAD (prospect)
OF Teoscar Hernandez Hou (prospect)
I am thinking that Nate Smith will become a MLB regular SP, Alec Mills could be a SP but will probably be a spot starter, Touki Toussiant has two great pitches sounds like a future closer to me, Grant Holmes is the treat for me, as I think he will be a pretty good MLB SP, Teoscar Hernandez could be a Domingo Santana type of player or he could fizzle out in the minors this is could be a real big year for him. I think Anthony Alford is being sold kind of cheap, but I wanted to make sure I could justify receiving the players I was receiving. I think the Blue Jays edge out the value in this deal, but I don't mind as long as I get my guys.

RP Keone Kela Tex

2015 Amateur Draft pick 4.9
2015 Amateur Draft pick 5.9
2015 Amateur Draft pick 6.9
Giants accept. Looking to put my own stamp on this club, I like Musgrove as a replacement for Gray, even though Gray should be a better MLB player he is a pitcher for the Rockies. Kela, has the chance to be a closer and I think Tom Murphy will struggle finding AB's. Tseng has a nice shot at seeing time as MLB pitcher, Danish could end up in the bullpen, but he has shown the ability to pitch well, and as far as I know mlb pipeline had Danish rated as the CWS 3rd best milb pitcher. The draft picks, I'm hoping will be a big part of putting my stamp on this team. I like the Brewers package, I like the Giants package, I hope this turns out to be a win-win deal for both teams.

OF Mikie Mahtook (300k)
Giants Acquire:
OF Anthony Alford (300k)
SP Luiz Gohara (300k)
1B Richie Shaffer (300k)
Giants accept. I wanted to move Jorge Alfaro even though he is a very talented player, felt Mahtook was expendable at this point of a rebuilding team. Really liking what Anthony Alford has been doing since he started focusing on baseball. I've been following Gohara for a couple of years already and wanted to make sure he was on my roster. Shaffer is guy who is doing very well in AAA and could very well be a solid utility player that could turn into a everyday player within the next two seasons.

Yankees receive:
Rio Ruiz (3B/Atl) .30
Edwin Escobar (SP/Bos) .30
Andrew Velasquez (SS/TB) .30
Dorssys Paulino (OF/CLE) .30
Domingo Leyba (2B/AZ) .30
Giants receive:
Ramon Flores (OF/NYY) .30
Jose Iglesias (SS/DET) 2/7 .80
New York Yankees 5th Round Amateur Draft pick (5.1)
Giants accept. Ruiz, Velasquez, Leyba, Paulino, and Escobar are all talented prospects that could be MLB regulars someday. Iglesias is an everyday starter and All-Star, even though he known for his glove, his bat and speed are intriguing enough to use him as a serviceable SS as long as he is healthy. Flores, I like as a deep sleeper for next season, his arm in LF is awesome and has shown a nice ability to handle his bat. Overall, I think the Yankees are getting more talent, but this move should allow my team to start looking more like my team.

1B Christian Walker Bal

Giants receive:
Amateur draft picks 2.25, 4.10, 5.30, 6.10
Giants accept. The greatest thing about having the depth in the milb system and hardly a MLB system is just about every move is a move in the right direction. Walker has a pretty decent bat , however I don't see him being successful in Baltimore, maybe he gets traded to a team that will give him a full opportunity. Lee I feel is a prospect of note because of where is from and the flashes of a quality swing that provides contact, however I just don't see him as a future MLB regular. Demeritte, lead A ball in HR's last season, this season he is suspended 80 games for a masking agent that works to regulate heart beat. If he was taking the pills to cheat, I don't want him and if he was taking the pills for medical reasons, I don't care to take the risk on his health as a prospect. Getting the draft picks is wonderful and genuinely hope that this a win-win for both ball clubs.

Giants accept. I saw someone drop a Goldschmidt comp with Reed the other day, I don't know if all that is true, but it leads me to believe that his value is about to fly. Becerra is a big young kid that could be an everyday OF, he is still a few years away from really seeing what he will be about. Losing the 6 picks kind of stings, but feel I will be busy with home life around the time the 6th round will be going on, and it's just as well if I don't have to keep checking to see if it's my pick yet.

RP Tommy Kahnle Col $1.50
Blue Jays Receive
SP Touki Toussaint Atl Prospect
SP Ricardo Sanchez Atl Prospect
SP J.T. Chargois Min Prospect
Giants accept. I wanted make a deal that would help me build this team, Hamilton might remember his old self, but if not, he will be a cheap warm body while I build this team. Kahnle is a the newly named closer for the Rockies and while he might not keep the job, I have a feeling I will be able to flip him for either prospects, or another asset. Toussaint has a live arm, as does Sanchez and Chargois, but I see them as relievers, I could have held out for more from Toussaint, but I'm usually willing to make a step and hope it's in the right direction.
