Joey Bart Hits the Road ... to Sacramento
The Joey Bart era is over—for now.
The Giants pulled the plug after 36 disastrous games at the plate, sending the former No. 2 pick to Triple A after Tuesday's loss.
The team announced they acquired Austin Wynns, a light-hitting catcher who might play like Joey Bart but is not Joey Bart.
What does it all mean? Short-term, the Giants are hoping Bart can get right in Sacramento and force his way back.
Long-term, it's bleak. This regime did not draft Bart. They drafted another catcher, Patrick Bailey, the very next year. He's hitting .198 in Single A. Oof.
