San Francisco Giants star outfielder Heliot Ramos spoke on the team's deadline activity.
It was a bit of a shocking trade, given that the Giants had just signed him before this season to a three year, $42 million deal. He was having a season similar to all of his: pretty streaky. In July, he had been hitting .275/.390/.488 with three home runs, six doubles and a triple, mostly out of the leadoff spot. In the end, they moved him in a deal to get out of his salary and give Marco Luciano more at-bats.
Soler in his 11th big league season and one of the veterans on the Giants, and Ramos' quotes speak to how he was one of the leaders on the club. Clearly this move was not only a surprise to fans, but the players as well. Aside from a short stint on the injured list, Soler had been an everyday player who looked to be the everyday DH for the next three years.
Snell has an opt-out after the season, which is a big reason for why he was brought up in trade talks. He got off to a poor start to the season, dealing with injury and bad performance, but his last four starts got people in baseball talking.
