A day before MLB’s trade deadline, the Giants dealt Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson to the Atlanta Braves.
San Francisco Giants’ Jorge Soler is all smiles after hitting a lead-off home run against the Colorado Rockies, Friday, July 26, 2024, at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif. Jorge Soler and Luke Jackson had, respectively, underperformed the contracts they received the past two winters to such a degree that each player was thought to be unmovable leading up to Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline. Only a team that had known them in better days could have even a whiff of interest.
According to reports, Atlanta will also assume the remainder of the three-year, $42 million contract Soler signed at the start of spring training. Jackson signed a two-year, $11.5 million contract before the 2023 season and had a $7 million club option for 2025 that the Giants were unlikely to pick up.
Jackson was effective in his return from Tommy John surgery last season, posting a 2.90 ERA in 33 appearances, but struggled to find the same success this season while dealing with nagging back issues and had been demoted to largely pitching when the team was behind, sporting a 5.40 ERA in 35 games. For the Giants, the move is more opportunistic than necessarily indicative of a larger selloff to come in the next 24 hours. By shipping off Soler, it should be easier for manager Bob Melvin to find at-bats for younger players such as Luis Matos or Marco Luciano.Dear Abby: My wife is stressed by our daughter's bad-news boyfriendMiss Manners: They made a huge scene at the weddingAsking Eric: It's my first grandchild.
