D- EARLY TRADE DEADLINE TALK - JEFF PASSAN CALLS GIANTS “TWEENERS” AT DEADLINE RIGHT NOW
San Francisco Giants
The Giants juiced their payroll well past the luxury tax threshold in hopes of hanging in the NL West, and they've been rewarded with abject averageness. Their record hovers around .500. Their run differential is in the negative. And yet they're just a half-game back of the final wild-card spot. The notion of a team guaranteeing more than $300 million in the winter only to turn around and unload at the deadline isn't inconceivable, but so far for the Giants, it still tracks as unlikely. San Francisco's pitching -- particularly a bullpen with Camilo Doval, the Rogers brothers and the magnificent Ryan Walker, whose crossfire delivery is something to behold -- should keep it afloat. But the muddled middle is an ugly place to be, and any additions would necessitate cost-effectiveness, with the Giants' luxury tax payroll already over $250 million and on the cusp of the second threshold. Were they to move players, on the other hand, outfielder Michael Conforto is a reasonable bet, and teams would gladly add LaMonte Wade Jr.'s .470 on-base percentage. (Both are on the injured list with hamstring strains.) In terms of bigger names, third baseman Matt Chapman and left-hander Blake Snell both have opt-outs after this season, and teams automatically devalue players with that sort of optionality, making them likely to stay regardless of San Francisco's tack.
