## Resource

Luis Arraez has made it clear he wants to stay with the San Francisco Giants—but could his public comments also influence the trade market? With the deadline approaching, Arraez reiterated his desire to remain in San Francisco, even as his name continues to appear in trade rumors. We break down what his comments really mean, whether they could affect how other teams approach negotiations, and if Buster Posey and Zack Minasian should seriously consider an extension instead of a trade. We also continue our look at the Giants' 2026 draft class, profiling right-hander Kaden Waechter and discussing how he fits into the organization's long-term plan to rebuild its pitching pipeline. Finally, we touch on the latest MLB Collective Bargaining Agreement news and what it could mean for the future of the league.
