ESPN tabs Giants as one of ‘best fits' for sluggers potentially on trade market

The Giants already made the biggest blockbuster trade of the 2025 MLB season, but do they have another sizable move up their sleeve?

After acquiring slugger Rafael Devers in a stunning deal with the Boston Red Sox on June 15, well before the league's July 31 trade deadline, it's safe to assume Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey is not done making calls to teams around the league about potential roster upgrades for San Francisco.

While it's highly unlikely that San Francisco pulls off another move as big as the Devers trade, there are some players who could make sense for the Giants in a trade before next month's deadline.

ESPN's Jeff Passan and Kiley McDaniel ranked MLB's top-50 trade deadline candidates in their latest column and listed the Giants among the "best fits" for numerous hitters that could become available.
