Looking to acquire young controllable talent as I work to improve the Giants. No move too small or too big. Just looking to make one good baseball move at time. Looking to buy or sell in whatever makes sense as we move forward in the 2024 season. Current assessment is to add additional offense to an already good pitching staff to compete now rather than later.
NEEDS: Looking to acquire OFFENSE and controllable OFFENSIVE pieces of the lineup for 2024 and beyond. Always looking for prospects of interest.
Players in RED can’t be traded until the next offseason due to home town discount. Players with RED have already been traded.
STARTING PITCHERS: (Would consider moving one of the following in Gallen or Gausman)
SP: Zac Gallen $9.7 6th (ARI) Finished 3rd in the CY Young voting in the NL last season and was incredible in the playoffs and World Series. On the season he had 17 WINS, throwing 210IP while striking out 220 victims with a 3.47ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. I’ve had some offers on him so I’m entertaining the idea of moving either him or Gausman to acquire more offense. Wouldn’t be looking for three of your prospects in this deal. Looking for major offensive players in this deal at the MLB level. Prospects would be a sweetener if they are close to big league ready in competing offers. Do you want to put your team over the hump to compete in 2024? Well this is the guy you would be looking for.
SP: Kevin Gausman $5.9 2025 (TOR) Also finished 3rd in the CY Young voting in the AL last season. On the season he had 12 WINS, throwing 185IP allowing only 163 hits while striking out 237 victims with a 3.16 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP. I’ve had some offers on him so I’m entertaining the idea of moving either him or Gallen to acquire more offense. Wouldn’t be looking for three of your prospects in this deal.

SP: Ranger Suarez $1.0 6th (PHI) Had a very good 2023 and was even better for the Phillies in the playoffs. Sporting a 4.18 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 4 WINS, and worked 125 IP/119 K’s. Projects as a major contributor in 2024 for the Phillies rotation. Having a little SP depth and willing to listen on offers that would help my offense Possibly move a offensive player with an expiring contract for him.He can easily help any team looking for SP help on a very affordable contract.
SP: Graham Ashcraft $1.0 3rd (CIN) Made his move to the rotation last season after he continued to establish himself in the MLB. Ran up 7 WINS, 1.3 WHIP, while working 145 IP/ 111 K’s. There’s more in there as he continues to evolve at the big league level. I really like how the arm works and had a few 10K games later in the season point to more upside for the 2024 season.
RELIEF PITCHERS:
RP: Hoby Milner $3.3 5th (MIL) Had an excellent 2023 season and will provide excellent counting stats specifically ERA, HOLDS, WHIP and K’s. I have a little depth in relief pitching so he’s a name I would talk about in a reasonable return. In 2023 he had 2W, 1.82ERA, ,17 SV/HLDS, 0.96WHIP in 64IP/59K’s and only 49 hits against. A very valuable addition to anyone’s roster.
POSITION PLAYERS
SS: Nick Ahmed $1.7 2024 (ARI) Has had a nice career as a regular at the big league level. Solid all the way around. Not looking for a lot here possibility of a position player swap with similar upside or a prospect type deal. Feel free to reach out for an easy swap.
PROSPECTS
*I have some interesting PROSPECTS I’m willing to talk trade with most of them. Feel free to inquire. Don’t plan to move Harrison.
