The Giants farm system ain’t exactly brimming with talent so I think the big piece is salary relief. Which sucks for the Pirates fans. I hope if they’ve gone this far, they’ll commit to a full rebuild. They could get a nice return for Rivero (man I wish we still had that guy), Marte, or a couple other guys.
Agree with the "salary relief". It's been a big part of the scene there since at least the early 90s (Bonds/Bonilla) and certainly through the McClatchy years.
