Next on the list of San Francisco Giants player reviews is perhaps the biggest midseason acquisition the team has made in the last decade: Kris Bryant. Kris Bryant was moved to the Giants on July 30th, the trade deadline, in return for Alexander Canario (Giants #9 prospect) and Caleb Killian (Giants #30 prospect).
At the time of the trade, Bryant was slashing .267/.358/.503 with 18 home runs on a languishing Chicago Cubs team that was going nowhere fast. Bryant joined his World-Series-winning teammates Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baéz, as well as Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel, as the last of the major moves the Cubs would make to empty their major league roster in an attempt to rebuild their farm system.
