Giants prepare for trade of Luis Arraez as deadline approaches

The San Francisco Giants are reportedly likely to trade second baseman Luis Arraez before the upcoming deadline. Despite his successful season, hitting.332 with a.834 OPS, the Giants face an infield logjam with Casey Schmitt and Bryce Eldridge emerging as potential everyday players. Arraez is under contract for only one more year and could become a significant free agent after the 2026 season. With six players on the roster earning over $20 million, the Giants may prioritize trading Arraez to avoid losing him without compensation. The situation highlights the difficult decision the team must make regarding their long-term plans.
