What happened: Buster Posey said the Giants could look to add bullpen depth ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The comment comes as San Francisco sits well outside playoff position in the first half of the season.

Why it matters: The Giants enter deadline season 16 games under .500 following a 41-55 first half, a record that has pointed the front office toward selling rather than buying. Any bullpen addition would come even as Logan Webb and Jung Hoo Lee stay off the trade table, per prior reporting, underscoring a roster in transition rather than a playoff push.

What to watch: Watch for specific bullpen targets to emerge as the Aug. 3 deadline approaches, alongside any movement on Chapman, Adames or Devers.
