Barring a run before the trade deadline, the San Francisco Giants are far enough out of contention that they’re edging closer to becoming certified sellers.
According to multiple reports, the Giants (29-43) are not planning to part with right-hander Logan Webb. But MLB.com and ESPN reported first baseman Rafael Devers, shortstop Willy Adames and third baseman Matt Chapman are among the high-priced options likely to be available before the trade deadline.
The Giants acquired Devers, 29, and inherited the 10-year, $313.5 million deal that expires after the 2033 season. But in a full year (162 games entering Tuesday) with San Francisco, he’s batting .235, has 209 strikeouts and 29 home runs.
The Athletic reported the Giants are not yet committed to make any trades but with the second-worst record in the National League, have begun conversations around possibilities with players such as Devers.
Chapman is in the second year of a six-year, $151 million extension. He’s hitting .261 with seven home runs in 2026.
Adames, who enters Tuesday’s game with one hit in his last 28 at-bats, signed a seven-year, $182 million deal as a free agent prior to the 2025 season and has struggled after swatting 30 home runs in his first year with the team.
