I want a more proven big leaguer in any trade involving Plesac. The proposals above seem high risk, high reward, which I’m not convinced is the direction the Tribe FO wants to go.
The philosophy of the Giants is this, work the count, take walks, and only swing at pitches you can drive. That’s why Farhan Zaidi so sought after players like Mike Tauchman and Tommy La Stella. In 2020, as a big leaguer, Joey Bart took three walks and struck out 41 times. That is a glaring problem. However, it’s fair to say he wasn’t ready for that level of competition.
In 2021, as a member of the Sacramento Rivercats, Joey Bart has taken 11 walks and struck out 50 times. This demonstrates that Bart hasn’t been able to correct this problem. The offensive philosophy employed by the Giants that has generated so much success is the opposite of what Joey Bart has shown to be as an offensive player.

This was a move to get us a catcher long term that some people have been wanting... I don't expect it to happen, but if we did go for a Bart trade, we would have to give up Plesac more than likely...
