While the team was busy losing a series finale to the New York Mets, the front office was searching for reinforcements on the pitching front, and they found some in Chicago.
The Giants agreed to send cash considerations to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for right-handed pitcher Cory Abbott. In order to make room on the 40-man roster for Abbott, the team designated outfielder Jaylin Davis for assignment.
