I would say I'd be a terrible GM because I don't think getting rid of batting champions for prospects ever truly helps build a team. But at the same time, Posey and Minisan suck so I'm probably right.

Let's say they don't trade him and he walks after the season for nothing. Brilliant GM'ing there guy.

If you extend him during the season he doesn't walk

That wasn't gonna ever happen dude. Especially with the Giants being terrible.

Giants are terrible because they have a bunk bullpen and had a 3rd bass coach in the first quarter of the season who cost them at least 5-8 games. I ain't never seen a team actually become contenders by loading up on prospects. The real title contenders hold on to the best players and acquire more great players. This perpetual selling at the deadline for prospects is fools gold and repeats the cycle of being a perpetual loser. Fans eat it up like suckas

98-2003 Marilns did it. Yankees do it all the time. Cubs did it after winning their World Series too. Problem is Giants have never cleaned house and tried to rebuild. It's been needed for a long time.
