Giants trade:
          SP Cain, Matt $3m (2018)
           X Cain, Matt $2.5m in 2017 (cash exchange)
          RP Swarzak, Anthony $0.5m (2017)
          RP Torres, Jose $0.5m (P-n/a)
          SP Kapriellian, James $0.5m (P-n/a)

Padres trade:
          OF Slater, Austin $0.5m (P-n/a)
          CI O'Hearn, Ryan $0.5m (P-n/a)

As uncharacteristic it is to trade away a Giants player, this deal improves the Giants offense.  OF Austin Slater is establishing himself as a regular OF for the MLB Giants.  CI Ryan O'Hearn is a power hitting prospect who seems on track to be in the majors in 2018.

The Padres were in search of some arms and got some in SP Matt Cain and two RPs (along with a pitching prospect), so each team is getting what they need.
