The other good thing is we don't have to face him again in the regular season. There goes 6 games where he would murder a couple more homers against us. Solid pickup for the D'Backs though. Wonder what they gave up.
Not surprised at him blocking the trade. He's made it well known that he wants to stay on the West Coast. I guess I don't understand that thinking when you have a chance to actually play in the playoffs, but to each his own.

Makes sense. Giles would be a bench player at best in Boston. Boston is sneaky. They did this just to block the Rays, knowing that Giles had them on his no-trade list.
