28 Major League Baseball teams sit at home while the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs battle for the World Series crown. That means it’s the part of the year when rumors are really getting started. Free agency and trade talks will heat up, and everyone with a pulse and an eye for the game will have an opinion. There’s already rumors floating around, one of which is pertinent to the San Francisco Giants.
One of the early rumors this offseason involves the Giants making a deal with the Detroit Tigers. The proposed deal would swap the team’s second basemen, with Joe Panik heading to the Motor City and Ian Kinsler going to San Francisco in return.
