What happened: A new industry projection explores a trade sending three-time batting champion Luis Arraez from the San Francisco Giants to the Texas Rangers. The mock proposal suggests the Giants would receive infield prospect Cameron Cauley and right-hander Izack Tiger in exchange for the veteran infielder.

Why it matters: With San Francisco falling back in the NL West race, moving Arraez's expiring contract allows the club to restock with high-upside arms like Tiger. For the Rangers, adding a .324 hitter addresses a critical second-base void as they sit just two games behind Seattle for the AL West lead. The New York Post previously weighed whether San Francisco should move the star infielder to capitalize on his market value before the deadline.

What to watch: Observers will monitor if the Giants shift to a formal selling stance as the July trade deadline approaches.
