## Resource

The San Francisco Giants are receiving calls on some of their biggest stars as the trade deadline approaches. According to Jon Heyman, rival teams have checked in on Matt Chapman, Willy Adames, and Rafael Devers, while the Yankees have discussed Luis Arraez—though questions remain about how he'd fit in New York. We break down what these conversations mean, which players are actually realistic trade candidates, and what Buster Posey's front office could be planning in the final days before the deadline. Plus, Giants president Larry Baer joined KNBR and made it clear he doesn't believe a prolonged rebuild is necessary to build a winner. We discuss what that philosophy means for the organization's direction, how it could shape deadline decisions, and whether the Giants are trying to thread the needle between competing now and building for the future. Finally, we look at the latest deadline intel from Jim Bowden and Robert Murray as contenders and sellers begin to separate across Major League Baseball.
