What happened: San Francisco reportedly wants to trade two infielders before the Aug. 3 deadline to create regular playing time for Bryce Eldridge. Rafael Devers, Matt Chapman, Willy Adames and Luis Arraez are among the possible candidates.
Why it matters: The Giants' deadline strategy could reshape an expensive roster after a difficult season. Moving veteran contracts or a pending free agent could bring younger talent and open an everyday role for Eldridge.
By the numbers: San Francisco is 37-51 while scoring 4.1 runs and allowing 4.8 per game. Arraez is playing on a one-year, $12 million contract, while the 2026 trade deadline is Aug. 3.
What to watch: San Francisco's market should develop as contenders assess infield needs. The Giants and Colorado Rockies enter their scheduled game with the series tied 1-1.
