Dave Roberts

I am sure of there is 13 million reasons the Giants would like to trade Roberts, but would there be a team willing to trade for him? What would SF ask for or how much would they have to eat of his deal? Is there a comparable financial trade for either a 1b, SS or 3b that could be advantageous for both teams?
