Giants trade Luis Arraez to Rangers in MLB mock deal

The San Francisco Giants have traded infielder Luis Arraez to the Texas Rangers, according to a mock trade scenario. With a current record of 27-40, the Giants are projected to be sellers ahead of the August 3 MLB trade deadline. Arraez, batting.324 this season, offers elite bat-to-ball skills despite limited power. The Rangers, who are two games out of first place in the AL West, are looking to strengthen their lineup, particularly at second base where an injury has sidelined starter Josh Smith. From the Giants' perspective, trading Arraez aligns with their plans to rebuild by acquiring prospects.
