The San Francisco Giants appear to be poised to become big spenders this offseason, having acquired Willy Adames and Rafael Devers over the past year. Now, they could make another stunning move for another slugger.
Fansided’s Christopher Kline believes that move is the Giants trading for the Los Angeles Angels’ three-time MVP, Mike Trout.
“The San Francisco Giants are officially big game hunters, as Buster Posey's savvy personality and ownership's increasingly blank checks put San Francisco in the mix for most available superstars. The Rafael Devers trade was a show of intent. The Giants are in active pursuit of the Dodgers atop the division…If Devers can spent the next half-decade at first base, Trout profiles as an expensive but effective DH. He can still move into the outfield and give the Giants plus defense in spurts, if needed. Offensively, Trout moves the needle in a big way, and he's sure to consider a simple move up the coast if his Angels tenure comes to an end,” Kline wrote.
This past season, Trout slashed.232/.359/.439/.797 with 14 doubles, 26 home runs, and 64 RBI in 130 games played.
Combining him with the power of Devers, the Giants would have a pair of sluggers to be feared.
Hopefully, the Giants consider this trade and make a proposition just to see what happens.
