Summary
It's time to revisit one of the most surprising Giants moves of the season: the Patrick Bailey trade. More than three months after San Francisco sent its two-time Gold Glove catcher to Cleveland, we look at how the deal has played out for both sides and whether our initial reaction should change. Patrick Bailey has become Cleveland's primary catcher, while Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson has climbed through the Giants' system and is now reaching the majors. We break down the winners and losers so far and what still needs to happen before this trade can truly be judged. Plus, we react to the Rates and Barrels discussion about Buster Posey and the Giants' front office and another major sign of progress for the organization: MLB Pipeline now ranks San Francisco's farm system No. 5 in baseball, continuing its dramatic rise this season.
