With the MLB trade deadline nearing, the San Francisco Giants are contemplating moves to offload players. President of baseball operations Buster Posey may look to trade right-hander Tyler Mahle, who signed a one-year, $10 million deal before the season. Mahle has struggled, posting a 5.70 ERA in 14 starts after previously showing promise with the Texas Rangers. Despite his recent difficulties, he could attract interest from teams seeking a back-end starter, especially since he will hit free agency after the season.
