The Giants and Reds are reportedly continuing to discuss a trade centered around speedy outfielder Billy Hamilton.
Last month, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported the Giants had interest in acquiring Hamilton to bolster their outfield. It appears that is still the case as Morosi followed up on his initial report by saying discussions between the two teams are still ongoing.

Hamilton’s biggest asset is his speed, which has allowed him to make highlight reel catches in the outfield. It has also helped him steal 50+ bases in each of the past four seasons.
