I shopped 31 year old Bando around and got an offer I couldn't turn down, 25 year old LF Gary Matthews. Two years ago he had a great year, hitting .302/.358/.444 with 15 home runs but over the last 2 years only hit a total of 11 home runs and hit .268. He's also a very good fielding LF, but has fallen out of favor in San Francisco
This makes Rivers our 5th outfielder and now expendable, so I will look to sign him and then package him with a pitcher for an upgrade in the rotation or just get a pitching prospect for him
