Twins accept. I'm a fan of Sonny Gray but I'm not convinced he'll succeed in the AL East as did in the AL West. Because of this, I had no desire to resign him unless the Yanks moved him. Instead, I looked to capitalize on his low salary and get something in return. As the owner of the Angels in another league, I've followed Thaiss pretty closely and I really like his upside. In an Angels lineup that continues to improve, the 1B spot will likely be attainable for him if he continues to hit the way he has. Austin Slater showed in the bigs last year that MLB pitchers aren't too much for him. He hit .280+ in 30 games, and if the K% comes down, he'll be able to sustain that, and have the ability to score some runs in an improved Giants' lineup. Thanks Giants, good luck this season.

Looks like Slater also has 2B eligibility on ESPN.
