The San Francisco Giants are indicating that nearly every player on their roster could be available for trade as the deadline approaches, according to reports. However, two key figures, outfielder Jung Hoo Lee and ace pitcher Logan Webb, are reportedly off-limits, though the team might reconsider their stance under certain conditions.
The potential availability of players comes at a time when the starting pitching market is shrinking. Teams like the Tigers, Red Sox, and Marlins are among those performing well, potentially making their top pitchers less available. Tarik Skubal of the Tigers, Sonny Gray of the Red Sox, and Sandy Alcantara of the Marlins are noted as pitchers who may not be traded. The Marlins, currently in a playoff position, have previously received offers for Alcantara but have not countered any proposals, suggesting a reluctance to part with the pitcher.
While the Giants have made it clear that Lee and Webb are not expected to be traded, the possibility of discussing deals for them remains, contingent on the offers received. The team's messaging suggests a broad openness to roster adjustments, with the notable exclusions of their outfielder and ace.
