Giants acquired RHP Sam Wolff and RHP Israel Cruz from the Rangers for LHP Matt Moore and international bonus pool money.
Wolff is the better bet of the players going to the Giants. The 26-year-old was a sixth round pick in the 2013 draft and blossomed into a power reliever during his ascent up the minor league ladder. He split the 2017 season between Double-A and Triple-A, compiling a combined 2.93 ERA with 59 strikeouts and 19 walks in 43 innings. He is currently recovering from flexor-tendon surgery and will likely miss the first half of the 2018 season.
