Christian Arroyo and Matt Moore were both traded this week by the San Francisco Giants. Arroyo, considered the Giants top prospect before the drafting of Heliot Ramos, was shipped to Tampa Bay as part of a deal for Rays third baseman Evan Longoria. Arroyo was drafted in the first round by the Giants in 2013, and penned a heartfelt message on Twitter after learning of the trade, calling the move bittersweet.

Matt Moore was acquired by the Giants from Tampa two years ago, and also thanked the Giants fans and organization for their support, saying some of his favorite memories in baseball came in a Giants uniform.
A special thank you to Giants fans and the SFG org for all the support over the last two seasons. Some of my favorite memories from baseball are in a Giants uniform and I’m thankful for my time in SF. Looking forward to joining the Texas Rangers and being back in the Southwest!
