Robbie Ray Likely to Be Traded as Giants Near Trade Deadline

San Francisco Giants pitcher Robbie Ray said he hasn’t given much thought to his future with the club, emphasizing his focus on helping the team win each game. After throwing six innings of hit‑free baseball with five strikeouts in a 9‑2 win over the Los Angeles Angels, Ray improved his record to 9‑6 with a 3.16 ERA.

The performance was viewed as an audition for potential suitors, and the Giants are expected to move the 34‑year‑old before the August 3 trade deadline. Ray, a former AL Cy Young winner and pending free agent, could fetch a maximum return for San Francisco, which previously acquired him from the Seattle Mariners in early 2024 by trading outfielder Mitch Haniger, pitcher Anthony DeSclafani and cash.

Because starting him again risks injury and could lower his market value, the team is likely to shop him this week, alongside second‑baseman Luis Arraez, to teams needing a reliable rotation arm.
