San Francisco Giants weigh trades for veteran stars amid poor season

The San Francisco Giants, sitting at 29‑43 and holding the second‑worst record in the National League, have shifted from a stance of protecting their core to exploring trade options for key veterans. Management is reportedly open to offers on Rafael Devers, Matt Chapman and Willy Adames, while ace right‑hander Logan Webb remains off‑limits.

All three players carry sizable contracts—Devers at $313.5 million through 2034, Chapman on a six‑year, $151 million deal with a no‑trade clause, and Adames on a seven‑year, $182 million pact—making any return limited. The Giants could also move younger assets such as Luis Arraez and pitcher Robbie Ray, who are seen as more tradable pieces before the July deadline.

Analysts note that a weak trade market and the players' recent performance declines lower the likelihood of high‑value returns, but the front office hopes to gain payroll flexibility and address roster needs as the season progresses.
