San Francisco Giants Open to Trading Veteran Infielders as Season Falters

The San Francisco Giants, sitting 29‑43 through 72 games and fourth in the NL West, are reportedly exploring trade offers for several high‑cost veterans. According to MLB insider reports, the club is willing to discuss moving its starting infield trio—first baseman Rafael Devers, shortstop Willy Adames and third baseman Matt Chapman—as well as other players such as pitcher Robbie Ray and former batting champion Luis Arraez.

All three infielders are under long‑term, lucrative contracts that extend into the early 2030s, with Devers tied to an 11‑year, $331 million extension and the others similarly bound through 2030‑31. Their on‑field production has slumped, each posting an OPS below .762, which has lowered their trade value. The Giants could retain a portion of these salaries if a deal materializes, and the moves would signal a shift toward rebuilding around younger talent like prospect Bryce Eldridge.

If the team fails to improve its record before the August 3 trade deadline, it may become one of the most active sellers at the deadline, potentially reshaping its roster for the remainder of the 2026 season.
