The San Francisco Giants, with a record of 30-43, are 17 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers. Several reports have stated that the Giants’ front office is open for business ahead of the league’s trade deadline.
Trade Deadline
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand, ESPN’s Buster Olney, and The Athletic have all reported that the Giants are looking to sell. Some of the team’s most expensive players, including first baseman Rafael Devers, shortstop Willy Adames, and third baseman Matt Chapman, are expected to be traded.
The Giants’ pitching staff has been disappointing, and there’s little help coming from the farm system. The team’s ownership group appointed Buster Posey as president of Baseball Operations less than two years ago, but his moves haven’t worked out as planned.
Posey’s first big move was bringing in free-agent shortstop Willy Adames, but Adames’ plate discipline has cratered in 2026, and his defensive metrics have taken a huge step backward. The Giants also traded several prospects to the Red Sox for star player Rafael Devers, but Devers has been a below-average hitter this season.
