Giants shift to prospect evaluation after deadline sell-off
With a 49-65 record and 21 games out in the NL West, San Francisco is using the final two months as an extended audition for younger players.
The Giants dealt six players at the trade deadline, including Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray, and Tyler Mahle, signaling a roster reset. GM Buster Posey confirmed the team will give younger players longer opportunities to prove themselves. Prospects expected to see more action include Blade Tidwell, Dylan Smith, Drew Cavanaugh, Daniel Susac, Osleivis Basabe, Drew Gilbert, and Bryce Eldridge. The focus shifts to offseason roster-building rather than playoff contention.
