San Francisco Giants consider selling players amid tough season start

Summary

The San Francisco Giants have struggled in the 2026 MLB season, sitting at 29-43 and 16 games out of first place. While not fully committed to becoming sellers at the upcoming trade deadline, reports indicate the team is exploring trade options for players, including starters like Luis Arraez and Matt Chapman. This disappointing performance comes in the first season under manager Tony Vitello, who was hired to revitalize the franchise. As the team heads into July, significant roster changes could be imminent if there is no turnaround in performance.
