Brewers trade:
MI Lowe, Brandon, $0.5m (P-2022)
MI Potts, Hudson, $0.5m (P-n/a)
Giants trade:
SP Snell, Blake, $7m (2024)
OF Matos, Luis, $0.5m (P-n/a)
I really never considered trading Luis Matos because I believe he is going to be a future star for the Giants, in FGM and MLB, and as a Giants fan, I will still get to enjoy seeing him at Oracle Park in the years to come. But for the 2022 season, Brandon Lowe was to good a player to pass up and is an upgrade at MI. Brandon Crawford is 35 and may not replicate his 2021 season, so acquiring Lowe is a way to solidify the Giants lineup for the next few seasons. Luis Matos was included to offset the injury history of Blake Snell. I really don?t know much about Hudson Potts other than he is a former 1st Rounder for the Padres and shown he has some upside to grow into.
Brewers to confirm.
