What happened: MLB.com published a roundup of potential trade destinations for Luis Arraez ahead of the August deadline, the latest entry in weeks of speculation surrounding the Giants infielder. The Rangers had already surfaced as a possible suitor earlier this month.
Why it matters: Arraez has been a recurring name in deadline chatter since early June, and his contact-heavy profile makes him a fit for contenders seeking a table-setter. Any deal would also have to navigate his stated preference to stay at second base if traded.
What to watch: Watch for confirmed trade talks to emerge as the August deadline approaches.
