This is why the San Francisco Giants need to trade Johnny Cueto soon

San Francisco Giants right-handed pitcher Johnny Cueto is a pleasure to watch, and baseball does not have enough personalities like his.

That said, the Giants are approaching a deadline of sorts to trade away the starting pitching before he achieves 10-and-5 rights.

Ten-and-5 rights refer to the qualifications needed for a player to obtain veto power over any potential trade. To qualify for this, he needs at least 10 years of service time, including five years with the current team.

Cueto already has accumulated more than 10 years of service time, but now he is approaching five consecutive seasons with the Giants.
