Ray Ray
I have always liked Moore, so I hope this doesn’t happen. I hate it when players I like go to teams I don’t like.
Thronson5
Agree Ray Ray. I like him and will hate it if he goes there lol
woodstock005
Good reliever very dependable and experience
But do not give Giants top five prospect
Maybe three mid to low end prospect
Brixton
Hes a starter..
and he would cost 2 of the Giants best guys
Schroeder
why even take the time to type if that is the result
amjr
Seriously? A reliever?
failedstate
You all think Zach Wheeler could get it done?
Ray Ray
Yes because it is 2011.

Not sure I fully get the appeal of the comment. Yeah, I get that Wheeler isn’t a top prospect but an injured MLBer, but this is also the Rays we’re talking about and there is legit (if low) possibility that Wheeler could be as more effective than Moore next year for like $5m less. The Rays are literally the team for whom such a conceit would be the biggest deal.
So yeah no clue if it’s a trade that coukd happen but dismissing it so summarily and blithely is ignoring the conditions of the trade market which is just plain depressing on a site with this site’s title.

The Giants traded Zach Wheeler for Carlos Beltran in 2011.
mrnatewalter
It was dismissed because Zack Wheeler hasn’t been a member of the Giants organization for several years now.
woodstock005
Good trade but the big problems is non is a Giants hehe
woodstock005
Wheeler is a lot better pitcher then Giants complete pitching staff except mad bum now Cueto has a dead arm
bravesred 2
How about Moore for Posey? 😀
szc
Not Posey, but Bonds straight up may do it.

the dodgers suck
How about The entire rays team for posey?
tribefan48
Giants shouldn’t do it, remember last year with leake? They traded Adam Duvall who was an all star this year
ammiel
This is the type of trade i was expecting Mejia to be a piece in…unsure who we have to give up now, fear its one of the top guys.
woodstock005
That’s Giants tradition unless you are Timmy mad bum you have to prove yourself at other team watch the Giants will trade Tyler Beedee another stupid trade Tyler Beedee can throw at 93 with control and 97 wild
adshadbolt
Fox, Coonrod, Garcia, Crick, ptbnl for Moore, colome
tsteele28
Unless the ptbnl is arroyo the Giants take that immediately. But the Rays wouldn’t do that.
danray13
No colome. Rays wont trade their best bullpen piece who is controllable for 3 years.
Logjammer D"Baggagecling
Giants don’t have the prospects to get Matt Moore. It would take high level prospects that it took the cubs or Indians to get Chapman and miller respectively.
hopper15
Matt Moore hasn’t done anything since 2013. I wouldn’t give up high level prospects for him.
Kapler's Coconut Oil
The other 29 GMs are in a disagreement with you. I wonder what team you run?
Logjammer D"Baggagecling
Then the giants won’t get him.
woodstock005
Got him
pd14athletics
Not sure if you caught on but he had Tommy John surgery. Which keeps you out for quite a while and once back often another long while before you return to about the pitcher you once were. But plenty of pitchers go through it and can get to being good and valuable again. He’s basically shown himself to be healthy and rounding into form.
woodstock005
Mine of will just keep Giants pitching prospect
Matt Moore is good don’t get me wrong
But Bobby Evans think he is a Ace. A game changer. Hahaha very funny
tsteele28
I disagree with you I think Moore is a game changer. A guy who gives at least 6 innings and an 3 era is a game changer for the Giants who need pitching.
woodstock005
When I said game changer I mean ace number one starter or at least number two does any one of you Rodger Moore is a number two or better??? Hoops I mean Matt. Not Rodger. Hehe

The Giants had 5 (now 4) in the top 100 prospects. That’s not including Andrew Susac because of his big league time. Most scouts and baseball people say he could start for most teams in the mlb. He’s been injured, but finally starting to hit.
The Oregonian
I wouldn’t have minded seeing Duffy traded for a controllable young SP now that they have Nunez through 2017 and Arroyo possibly being the 3B of the future. But then I looked at Moore’s numbers this year and last. Not the best deal.
Matt Galvin
Hopefully before 6am with other Trades. Susac,Arroyo and others get it done.
Joe McMahon
The thing about Matt Moore is that even if his numbers aren’t great, his contract is so good that he’s very valuable. He’s basically free for the rest of this year and locked up for the next 3 at $26M, less than $9M a year. That’s a bargain even if he’s mediocre. If he plays even a little bit like he’s capable of, that contract has insane value. And he has started to play better of late as he’s gotten farther away from TJ.
pdubs2907
Agreed. He’s a pretty valuable guy. Still has upside at 27, and even if he doesn’t improve, he’s a quality inning eating #3 on a good contract.
OCTraveler
This is more “let’s get him so LA won’t” – Dodgers should offer Puig
Kapler's Coconut Oil
Why would the Rays want Puig? But I agree that the Giants are probably only doing this to drive the price up on the Dodgers.
danray13
Rays don’t want that pig
Brixton
Matt Moore has pitched like a decent #2 for the better part of the season. 2.39 ERA in his last 9 starts. Hes finally getting healthy
letsgobucs
I like any of the three potential Rays starters – Moore, Archer, Odorizzi – in AT&T Park. Get those guys out that concrete bandbox in St. Pete and into the fresh air and big alleys of San Fran, they immediately become better pitchers.
tsteele28
Duffy for Morre. Straight up. Rays get heir apparent to longoria at third and can play him at short and second as well. Duffys numbers are brought down by an unlucky Babip but has a high hha. Unlucky I think.
Morre gives the Giants another starter. While Nunez can man 3rd next year and then arroyo in 2017.
I don’t know if the Giants will do that though.
thecoffinnail
I don’t know if Duffy straight up is enough in this crazy pitching market. Probably will take Duffy, Susan, and a kicker. Maybe the Giants add Fox and the Rays add Boxberger to make it more palatable for the Giants. They need a back end bullpen guy as well. Colome probably isn’t going anywhere while he is cheap unless someone makes a Miller/Chapman type offer.
tsteele28
I don’t know though. The Rays could really like Duffy’s 2015. Where he earned 6 out of 20 roy votes.
danray13
Your crazy and that wont happen.
tsteele28
Real crazy huh.
therealryan
Duffy is an alright player, but he isn’t the right piece unless the Rays have intentions to trade Longoria. Longoria is a borderline future HOF and has more remaining control than Duffy. Would be very, very surprised to see a trade like this play out.
Pb
Love Matt Duffy, but if he and Andrew Susac get it done. the Giants should jump on it. The combination of Nunez and Gillsapie probably provide similar production offensively (although definitely not defensively) and Susac is rounding into form and blocked at the mlb. level.
If the Rays are willing to do Moore and Colome, then Duffy, Susac, Beede or Bickford, Jalen MIller, and one of the Giants bullpen prospects that throws 100. From a long-term perspective, the Rays are getting the future at 3B, a starting catcher, a mid rotation starter, a toolsy 2B, and high leverage reliever.
woodstock005
Like I said Bobby Evans think Matt Moore is an ace a game changer
Don’t get me wrong Mr Matt Moore you are very good pitcher but you are not an ace sorry
Bobby Evans traded away most of the good prospect at least a solid number three starter
brat922
I was wondering why Susac hasn’t been mentioned more often. A good, decent hitting catcher that had the bad luck to be injured — and then have the rookie taking his place shine. Great trade value in my eyes!
woodstock005
Will Giants fan. Season over the entire team is pathetic
Can’t pitch can’t hit can’t run can’t bench can’t score
Can’t trade oh boy
