July Trade Deadline

[LHG]

No buying of course but shouldn't they deal Dyson and McCutchen for some ok prospects?

That I am fine with but that seems like likely than just standing pat. Buying seems more more disruptive to either the payroll, the farm or both.

 

[SFGRTB]

The guy I really want them to target is no trades at the deadline. How do half season rentals fit in to what the FO is doing with this team?

Well yes, but if they are going to buy ('strategic buy' as they're calling it), I'd rather see them take a shot on a guy that has some upside beyond this season.

Duvall has been pretty unlucky this year, but his defense is still really (surprisingly) good. If his bat could turn around, he'd be one of our best hitters.

Where does Dozier play next year, if they re-sign him? Why would they even consider Adam Jones?

I agree. The links with guys like Dozier and Jones make no sense. That doesn't seem like "strategic buying".

Yeah it sounds like desperation to catch lightning in a bottle.

The winter will be very interesting.

Obviously with cutch and pence off the books an of in fa will be a possibility, no?

I'd hope the Giants would really weigh their internal options (Williamson, Duggar, Slater and Shaw) before picking up someone in FA. Harper is looking more and more like a bad idea, for the cost.

Who on this roster cannot be traded?

Just saw that Altuve is going to the DL. DOn't know the Astros' backup for him, but if Panik comes back OK, can he be moved? Or KT? Or even Hanson?

Like assuming the Giants decided to go open for business? The only players who *can't* be traded are Cueto, Shark and probably Melancon. Even if the Giants paid all of the salary for those guys, I don't think anyone is touching them.

 

[SFGRTB]

Seems like there's been a shift in the wind. Jon Morosi is reporting that the Giants are entertaining offers for some of their veterans, specifically naming McCutchen.

Other sources have since backed him up

Whoa. That is unexpected. With only a day plus a few hours left, though, I've got to wonder if anyone really gets moved.

I have a hard time believing they were simply hangingg up any time anyone called up to this point. I also don’t buy the fact that nothing happens without it being reported by twitter verse.

Per Pavs: Giants are getting calls on their relievers, but they're not yet in sell mode | NBCS Bay Area

Will Smith is getting the most calls, but the Giants don't want to trade him yet. Dyson is most likely to be moved. Watson is surprisingly getting few calls. Cutch interest is mild.

Well, at least they seem to be considering the guys that make sense (Dyson and Cutch). Pavs notes that both oculd carry over into August

I would love Smith in Boston.

he is a GUY.

Boston needs a GUY. Not bullpen depth. They need a dominant 8th inning guy.

 

[SFGRTB]

Bryce Harper is apparently available on the trade market. Machado got traded.... does Harper? Are the Giants interested?

 

[SFGRTB]

There's one Cutch suitor probably gone

Indians To Acquire Leonys Martin

The Yankees and Phillies are still interested. I think Cutch would love to go to the Yanks right now

Andrew McCutchen trade rumors

 

[SFGRTB]

This would have been a 'strategic buy' guy I would have liked. This package is shockingly shallow. Giants could have matched it. Oh well

Rays Acquire Tommy Pham

 

[SFGRTB]

There's always an August trade as well

Cutch isn’t getting paid all that much thus season. I have a hard time believing he would make it through waivers.

Although, I have been surprised by waiver clears in the past...

 

[1phlapdown]

Brian Dozier has now come up in the rumor mill. I'd much rather have him than Jones, but I still don't really like the idea of giving up prospects for him, a rental.

The guy I really want them to target is Adam Duvall

Too late. He went to Braves.

 

[calsnowskier]

Too late. He went to Braves.

Reported as a 2-way dump of unwanted assets, though.

I am a firm believer that Duvall is one of the most over-rated players in the game.

The overwhelming belief from what I've read is that he will. I agree that's surprising as well, but everything I've seen seems pretty confident about it.
