With the San Francisco Giants likely to be sellers at the 2020 MLB trade deadline, let’s look at a few of the team’s biggest trade chips.
We’re now less than two weeks away from the 2020 MLB trade deadline and while there are many questions we are all anxious to have answered (what will the market look like? will we see a blockbuster?) it’s safe to assume that the San Francisco Giants will be sellers at this year’s deadline.
The Giants are currently 9-16, sitting ahead of only the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National League in terms of winning percentage with more than 40% of the season completed.
Director of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi may not be as active this year as he was at last year’s deadline, but Zaidi still has a few pieces sure to be attractive to contending teams. We don’t know what the market will look like over the next two weeks, but if the Giants have an opportunity to add to their talent pool, no one on the active roster is untouchable and all offers should at least be considered.
Pitching is sure to be in high demand, something the Giants have. There are also a few veteran chips that could provide depth and versatility to a team in need of some late-season help. But the most likely pieces to be moved are some of the arms recently acquired by San Francisco for the purpose of building up their trade value for this moment.
Let’s look at three San Francisco Giants players likely to be moved by the 2020 deadline.
