Matt Moore to Giants

 

[Tecumseh]

Interesting to see how the Giants pulled this off.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Matt Duffy is in the deal!

 

[MurrayBannerman]

They gave up Lucius Fox for Moore. Jesus, that's an overpay.

 

[TF97]

Nice return for TB

 

[TootooTrain]

Matt Duffy alone is a solid return. Wonder where he'll play with Longo at 3rd.

I think he's pretty versatile in the infield. I like Matt Moore but Jesus that's an overpay from SF. Even numbered year I guess so they must be pretty confident.

 

[Reality Check]

When you have won it all three times in the past 6-7 years and good enough to win it all again, you pull the trigger.

It's not going to last forever.

 

[Terry Yake]

[darko]

That's a good return for TB

 

[MMC]

It's not as if Tampa needs him this year, anyway.

The only thing that's somewhat comforting after this overpay is that Moore has team options until 2019.

And I don't see them being executed.

An overpay for the Giants but a smart trade for them. With Samardzija pitching poorly since the beginning of June they needed a boost in the rotation. Plus Nunez and Christian Arroyo made Duffy an expendable piece. Albeit a tough one to see go.

After weeks of build-up, the Rays shipped lefty Matt Moore to the Giants at the trade deadline for a package that included young infield prospect Lucius Fox. As it turns out, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, Fox was dinged up at the time of the trade — which may lead Tampa Bay to seek added compensation from their trade partner.

The 19-year-old is said to have been playing through a bruised foot that was not disclosed to the Rays. While not a significant problem, it may prevent Fox from returning to action before the end of the minor league campaign. That wouldn’t seem to be a major long-term issue, but could take away some valuable developmental opportunities heading into the offseason.

The other two pieces of the pact — infielder Matt Duffy and minor league righty Michael Santos — were both on the DL at the time of the deal, with known injuries. But Fox’s malady was apparently not accounted for in striking the agreement.

I wouldn't trade Duffy for Moore straight up.
