MI Kipnis, Jason, $8m (2022)
X-Kipnis, Jason, Cash Exchange, $4.0m in 2021

Although the Giants feel a little queasy about adding a player in Dodgers Blue, Justin Turner will help solidify their everyday lineup. His $14.0m contract is certainly not very team friendly, but the Cash Exchanges already on the books help offset the monetary impact. As always, there’s a risk/reward factor, but the Giants hope he can continue to be healthy and productive as he finishes out his contract. Odubel Herrera is a bit of an enigma, and who knows what the Phillies do with him, but his expiring contract allows the Giants the opportunity to shed Jason Kipnis’ 2022 monies.
Marlins to confirm.
