Braves trade:
C Narvaez, Omar, $8m (2023)
MI-OF Taylor, Chris, $10.5m (2023)
Giants trade:
C McCann, James, $3m (2023)
OF Dickerson, Alex, $3.5m (2022)
CI Schmitt, Casey, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Corry, Seth, $0.5m (P-n/a)
Giants are taking on $10.5m in cap in this deal, but it?s offset with the acquisition of two veteran players. James McCann will undoubtedly improve and get back to where he was in 2020, but Omar Narvaez is more of an every day catcher (although he costs more). Alex Dickerson will probably sign on as a DH after the lockout and he?s on an expiring contract. Didn?t really want to give up Seth Corry. He?s been moving up the Giants prospect ranks and might debut in 2022, with Casey Schmitt right behind him in 2023. With all that, Chris Taylor gives the Giants a player with position flexibility and improves the Giants depth.
Braves to confirm.
