San Francisco Giants Future GM…Pablo Sandoval?
The San Francisco Giants announced yesterday that they made a trade with the Cincinnati Reds for Connor Joe.
At first glance, it felt like a small move, as the Giants gave up pitcher Jordan Johnson and cash, while designating outfielder Drew Ferguson for assignment. When you peel the layers back, you realize that everything Joe does well is the same skills Pablo Sandoval does well. Joe is a first and third baseman, but he can also play the outfield. He hits right handed with a strong on base percentage, so he is likely seen as a better option for the Giants bench than Sandoval.
