Giants option Joey Bart, trade for Austin Wynns

The San Francisco Giants made a rather sizable move on Wednesday, ahead of their game against the Colorado Rockies, by optioning their Opening Day catcher, Joey Bart.

To get another catcher in the fold, the Giants traded for Philadelphia Phillies catcher Austin Wynns, sending left-handed pitcher Michael Plassmeyer and cash considerations to the east coast.
