What happened: San Francisco is soliciting interest in its veteran pieces, focusing on the potential returns for its established assets. Arraez was held out of the lineup during the club's series against the Royals amid ongoing trade speculation and the presence of opposing scouts.

Why it matters: Moving major-league talent like Lee could help the organization restock its prospect pool, as the Giants pivot toward a seller's stance. Contenders including the Yankees and Guardians have already been linked to Arraez as they seek offensive upgrades.

What to watch: Watch for the front office to solicit formal offers for their controllable players in the coming days.
