Via George King, the Giants originally asked the Yankees for right-hander David Phelps in the Chris Stewart trade. They eventually settled on George Kontos.
Phelps — who made the Opening Day roster as the long man — obviously wasn’t going to happen for an all-glove backup catcher, and I still feel like even Kontos was a bit too much. Stewart is out of options and San Fran’s hands were tied, they either had to trade him or lose him on waivers for nothing. Did Austin Romine’s injury really take that much of a bite out of the catching depth?
