SF Giants may not trade Carlos Rodón or Joc Pederson, but should they? The Cubs are already benefitting from their sell-off.
Now with the power to opt out of his contract after the season, Rodón is perhaps the most valuable trade asset to contenders in need of an elite starting pitcher. If he suddenly became available, Rodón would immediately jump to the top of teams’ wish lists.
Of course, after a 107 win season last year, there’s plenty of reason — financial and competitive — to give this team the benefit of the doubt and look to add, not subtract. After a hot start that year, the Cubs had plummeted to a 51-55 record by the deadline and, with the contention window essentially shut, their brass had decided they wouldn’t be handing out any pricy extensions to their title core in the offseason. So they started a full teardown as soon as possible.
Things aren’t quite as bad in San Francisco they were for the Cubs last year. The Giants have better postseason odds than Chicago did last season, but their outlook has taken a turn toward being an alarmingly mediocre team in 2022.
