There might be obstacles to getting good value in return for Giles. For one, Giles' consent is needed for a trade to any of the other 29 clubs. A trade also would raise Giles' salary to $11 million, via an assignment bonus, lowering the player's value.
When asked Tuesday if he had any potential trade destinations in mind, Giles mentioned the Red Sox, Yankees and Angels.
He said the Angels would have a “huge” geographic advantage because he would like to stay near his daughters, but he also questioned whether any of those clubs would have a starting job for him. The Angels, for one, have a glut of outfielders.
