Andy and Grant talk about the Giants big trade for Kris Bryant on Deadline Day and how he's a perfect fit for this team. The Giants made the trade for Bryant near the end of the deadline and didn't have to give up as much as most people thought to get a star player like Kris Bryant. He is a perfect fit for the Giants and can play all over the field for them. The guys talk about if the team could've been more aggressive to pick up a starting pitching at the Deadline. The price was pretty steep and it didn't seem like the Giants wanted to give up some of their big name prospects. They talk about if they think the Giants could re-sign him this offseason.
