The Giants acquired minor leaguer Nate Furman from the Guardians in exchange for Alex Cobb, indicating a focus on long-term potential despite Furman's shoulder injury.
Furman, 23, showcased his offensive potential before injury, slashing .338/.417/.500 at High-A Lake County, suggesting he has the skills to be impactful when healthy.
Even though Furman is considered a 'distressed asset' due to his shoulder injury, he has shown impressive on-base ability with 91 walks in 158 games.
Cobb’s trade reflects the Giants' strategy to invest in promising minor league talent, considering his previous injuries and limited contributions to the team this season.
