## Resource

The Giants are heading into the All-Star break with a win but a sinking feeling — 41-55 and in full panic mode for the trade deadline. New manager Tony Vitello admits the team expected too much too soon, while ace Logan Webb bluntly calls their play “not good” and says the break is a chance to reset and redefine their identity. With most players on the block — except Webb and Jung Hoo Lee — and veterans like Arraez and Ray ready to be traded, the Giants’ rebuild may be in full swing. But Webb still holds hope, citing the 2021 Braves’ miracle comeback — reminding everyone that in baseball, anything’s possible. The second half will decide if this team can claw back from the brink.
