Your 2020 Giants: Day 2 of the Winter Meetings

Today has been an eventful winter meetings, as Andy Baggarly had sagely forecasted about the Giants winter meetings in general, in his article on The Athletic.  Hopefully there are more to come.

Here are the moves they made today:

• Traded with Angels, taking on Zack Cozart's contract ($12.7M in 2020), and receiving their 2019 First Round pick (#15 overall), Will Wilson, SS, their #5 prospect per MLB Pipeline.  The Giants owe future cash considerations or a PTBNL
• Signed RHP Kevin Gausman to $9M contract, with up to $1M in performance bonuses
