according to "sources."
From mlb.com
The Athletic first reported Monday that the Giants "have not fully committed to becoming sellers" but had begun gauging the market for some of their players. A report from ESPN's Buster Olney later on Monday specifically named Devers, Adames and Chapman as players the club is willing to move.
The Giants still have time to get back in the race, but they are facing a steep climb and havent shown enough to suggest they are close to making a run. San Francisco entered Tuesday with the second-worst record (29-43) in the National League behind the Rockies.
With Webb not expected to be available, the Giants' most in-demand trade chip this summer is likely to be second baseman Luis Arraez, given his strong season, reasonable salary and modest prospect cost as a pending free agent.

YMMV

(40,562 posts)His stick was mediocre last year, but hes upped his game this year. I like a 67 first baseman, and I wonder when that start calling him, Stretch as a hat tip to Willie McCovey.

(27,588 posts)These are the MLB team batting average leaders as of June 15th, 2026:
🔹Los Angeles Dodgers .262
🔹San Francisco Giants .258
🔹Tampa Bay Rays .257
🔹Milwaukee Brewers .255
🔹Atlanta Braves .254
🔹Colorado Rockies .253
🔹Pittsburgh Pirates .252
🔹Athletics .250
🔹Toronto Blue Jays .250
🔹Washington Nationals .247
The Dodgers are the best team in baseball. Their batting average is the best in the league. Makes sense.
The San Francisco Giants are 29-43. Dead last in the NL West. One of the most disappointing teams in baseball this season. And they have the second-best team batting average in all of MLB.
How? Jung Hoo Lee is hitting .331 and had an MLB-leading hitting streak with 18. Luis Arraez is hitting .319. Matt Chapman is absolutely raking in June. Casey Schmitt is on pace for 30 home runs. And somehow, none of it is translating into wins at the rate it should.
That's baseball. You can hit the cover off the ball and still lose. You can lead the entire sport in contact and sit 15 games under .500. The Giants are living, breathing proof of that contradiction every single night.

Main reason a team like Cleveland is still relevant.
