Cubs / Giants trade

[Chicago Cubs]

Giants get:
Tyler Phillips SP TEX - $0.2 prospect

Cubs get:
JD Davis 3B NYM - $0.5/TC1


I’d been holding on pretty right to Phillips while he’s been putting up excellent stats in the minors over the past couple seasons (12-5 2.65 ERA last season, 2-1 1.14 ERA so far this season). But I’ve got a big hole at 3B with Rendon down and have been looking to add a depth guy to fill it. I like what Davis has done for the Mets so far this season. He’s losing a lot of ABs with Frazier back from the IL, but he should remain the first guy off the bench for them until Frazier’s next injury. Thanks for the deal to SF!

The Giants accept.  I think Davis will be a full time player next year when Frazier is gone and was not really looking to move him.  However, I am a big fan of Tyler Phillips who I think is very underrated.
