Yankees fans and writers have been discussing the Giants as a potential trade partner for the last year or so, with much of the focus centered on Madison Bumgarner. And, with the Giants seemingly willing to spend money, they’ve also popped-up as a potential destination for persona non grata Sonny Gray. But with the Yankees in need of some semblance of certainty at first base and the Giants (probably) moving Buster Posey there full-time in the not-so-distant future, Brandon Belt might just be the player most worthy of our discussion.
Background
Belt was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round of the 2009 draft, following his junior year at Texas.
