Giants trade for Cooper Hummel

The San Francisco Giants just made perhaps the least surprising move of the offseason, agreeing to trade cash considerations to the New York Mets in exchange for switch-hitting positionless wonder Cooper Hummel.

The news was first reported by Fansided’s Robert Murray.

Source: The Giants are acquiring catcher/outfielder Cooper Hummel from the Mets. Hummel had recently been designated for assignment by New York.

This extremely unsurprising news was only made possible by last month’s extremely surprising news: that the Giants North Seattle Mariners waived Hummel without the Giants picking him up.
