Rodón could lead the Giants’ staff into the playoffs, or he could help a different contender if the team chooses to prioritize the future.
PHOENIX — Before Monday night’s series opener here with the Diamondbacks, Giants manager Gabe Kapler was asked if there was any added significance to these games, coming on the heels of a four-game sweep in Los Angeles and with so little time before the Aug. 2 trade deadline.
One of the biggest questions he will face: to deal, or not to deal, Carlos Rodón? The menacing left-hander is scheduled to make his second-to-last start before the deadline on Tuesday against Arizona. Before that, allow us to do a little of Zaidi’s work for him and present both sides of the argument.
with this news organization that he has come to love life in the Bay Area, don’t expect him to take a dollar or a year less than his true value to stay with the Giants.As one of the league’s most electric pitchers, Rodón’s starts have been must-watch entertainment in a stretch of baseball that hasn’t given fans many other reasons to tune in. Trading him would only further the trend of decreasing attendance and would signal that the team is waving the white flag on this season.
