How Matt Moore Completely Changed the Giants’ Offseason
Baseball’s offseason is winding down, and pitchers and catchers will report in just about a week’s time. With free agency just about in the rearview, it’s time to appreciate San Francisco Giants’ pitcher Matt Moore, and how he completely changed the offseason for the Giants.
Lefty Matt Moore was picked up on August 1st in 2016, as part of a deal that came in just before the 4 PM eastern time deadline. That trade stung a little bit for Giants’ fans, as wildly popular third baseman Matt Duffy, the 2015 Willie Mac Award winner, was sent to the Tampa Bay Rays (along with prospects Lucius Fox and Michael Santos) in exchange.
