Patrick Bailey had a huge game for the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday night, but the SF Giants are still justified in trading him away.

Writer Nick San Miguel argues that the San Francisco Giants remain justified in trading catcher Patrick Bailey to the Cleveland Guardians despite Bailey's recent postseason success. Bailey went 2-for-3 with a home run to help the Guardians defeat the Chicago White Sox 9-5 and force a Game 5, raising concerns among some Giants supporters.
San Miguel notes that Bailey has consistently struggled offensively and that catching depth led by Daniel Susac can soften the loss. Furthermore, the writer argues San Francisco's need for young pitching makes the return of Matt Wilkinson and Carson Bolemon worthwhile in the long run.
