No players from Giants' Matt Duffy-Matt Moore trade remain with Rays

The swap of Matts in 2016 will go down as one of the most controversial trades in Giants history.

Matt Duffy was beloved by the fan base and was turning into a leader in the clubhouse, one that was stunned when he was shipped to the Tampa Bay Rays for left-handed pitcher Matt Moore, supposedly the final piece for another championship run. There are some Giants who will tell you that deal had a lot to do with their awful record down the stretch, although on the field, it was to make that case.

Moore actually pitched well in September and would have gone down as a Forever Giant had the bullpen closed the door in Game 4 of the NLDS.
