The case for and against SF Giants trading away Jung Hoo Lee this offseason

Writer Nick San Miguel analyzes whether the San Francisco Giants should explore trading outfielder Jung Hoo Lee during the offseason following a 65-97 season. Although previously considered untouchable alongside Logan Webb, Lee's second-half struggles and an outfield surplus featuring young talent like Bo Davidson make a potential trade logically sensible to address pitching needs.

However, San Miguel notes that trading Lee remains unlikely due to his strong marketing presence, deep popularity among fans, and contract structure. The writer argues that San Francisco should only consider moving Lee if they secure a quality, controllable major league pitcher in return.
