The San Francisco Giants are exploring trade options for outfielder Jung Hoo Lee ahead of the MLB deadline. Recent reports indicate the potential trade of Lee is more viable, as concerns over his contract have lessened. Lee, 27, has a six-year deal running through 2029, which includes an opt-out clause after the 2027 season. However, MLB executives expect him to forgo the opt-out, making him a more attractive acquisition for teams such as the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies. His batting average stands at.303 this season, with five home runs and a career-high OPS of.761.
