But a common thought after the game amongst Mariners fans was that Leake had drastically increased his trade value. But the simple truth is that Leake’s value is basically set in stone. But what could raise his value is a new contender entering his market.
That new team may be an old team, the San Francisco Giants. Thought to be sellers a week ago, the Giants have won 7 straight games and are just 2 games back of a playoff spot. The Giants figured to be on of the busier teams this month, but are now reportedly backing off on talks to trade Madison Bumgarner and Will Smith.
