Indians-Giants Trade 5/25/17 - 4:30 pm ET

[Flash]

Indians trade:
OF Span, Denard, $5m (2019)

Giants trade:
OF Heredia, Guillermo, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Nolasco, Ricky, $1.5m (2017)
C Bandy, Jett, $0.5m (P-2019)

The Giants are giving up two MLB players on prospect contracts who should help the Indians in their rebuilding process, but the Giants are very happy to welcome home OF Denard Span.  Although a little injury prone, Span is a regular OF who will be in the lineup day after day.  Injuries have certainly contributed to the Giants free fall, both in FGM and real life, and juggling players to fill the gaps is a necessary reality.  So getting Span should help stabilize the Giants OF once Mitch Haniger returns from injury. 

We have chosen to exclude Mazeika and Stassi to accommodate the 60 day rule.  Indians GM to confirm.
