Here are the cases for the Giants buying — and selling — ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline: The acquisition of Devers in June a clear-cut sign that Posey is in the business of winning now. The same can be said of Chapman’s extension and the signing of Willy Adames.

Kansas City's Seth Lugo was linked to a few teams this deadline season and he was a big part of the rumor mill. However on Sunday night, ESPN's Jeff Passan broke the news that the Royals had signed Lugo to a multiyear extension, taking him off of the board entirely.

The Giants enter Sunday’s matchup against the New York Mets at 54–51, sitting 2.5 games behind the final Wild Card spot. In June, they added ex-Red Sox superstar Rafael Devers, but it has yet to pay dividends. Devers himself is hitting just .244 with four home runs and 15 RBIs since arriving in San Francisco.

The Giants could plug this season's All Star reliver, Randy Rodriguez, in as the closer. Overall, the Giants have a 3.23 bullpen ERA, which is second in baseball. San Francisco probably needs another starting pitcher and some more clutch hitting on the offense. Doval might be their best path to getting that.

The A's are primed to be active at the MLB trade deadline and could strike a deal with their former neighbor across the bay.

Francisco Lindor snapped an eight-game homerless-streak, going 3-for-5 with his 20th of the season and an RBI double, and Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double to lead off the game and two RBI

The San Francisco Giants and president of baseball operations, Buster Posey, could look to land one of the more shocking trades of the decade this season.

The San Francisco Giants were unlikely to have a shot at acquiring Arizona first baseman Josh Naylor at the trade deadline due to being an NL West rival.
