Insider Drops MASSIVE SF Giants Trade Report...

The San Francisco Giants are about to listen to offers on every single player on their roster. Yes, including Logan Webb, including Rafael Devers. And don't get me wrong, some of those make a lot of sense. But also, some of those are a mistake because some of these guys are part of the solution here.

Jim Bowden says the Giants are expected to listen to trade proposals for every player, and after a 65-97 season, you can see why. That's the team's worst record since 2017, their 5th straight year missing the playoffs, and one of the worst losing seasons in the history of the San Francisco Giants. ESPN's already ranked them 27th in its early 2027 power rankings, and it calls this exact core stuck. And the math is ugly. By run differential, which is minus 91, they should have won roughly 72 games, so yes they were unlucky, but not 30 wins unlucky. Which is exactly why this front office sounds like it's open to anything right now. But there's a firm difference between a team that's purely listening and a team that has real buyers. So yes, everything is on the table, but listening is not the same as selling, and some of these guys should stay in the bay. Let's start with Logan Webb, because personally, I don't see a world where they actually trade him. He's been the one constant on this roster and the face of the franchise since their last time making the playoffs in 2021 in the midst of a wild run of mediocrity. And just look at the state of this rotation. Landon Root made 25% of the starts and Webb made 23% last year. After those two, nobody has more than 14%. And those are the only two locked in to next year's rotation. Webb threw 160.2 innings in 2026 with a 1-1-7 whip. The ERA was 4-3-1, which is definitely a step back, but that's on a team that finished 65-97. He's making $23 million next season and $24 million in 2028, then he's a free agent. That's a pretty good deal if you get the Logan Webb from 2022 to 2025. If Logan Webb were to actually get dealt, this rotation as it currently stands is Landon Root and a prayer. Now, I think we all expect Root to be better next season, but it was still a rather difficult season for him in 2026. He had a 4-0-1 ERA and a 1-3-0 whip over 155 innings, which again, is solid, but it's definitely not an ace. Adrian Hauser, who will most likely end up getting a rotation spot next year, ended the season on the 60-day IL after making 14% of this team's starts. So yes, you can trade Webb, and you would be retooling, but you're also starting from scratch with a rotation that already has several holes. And earlier this year, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that the Giants have zero plans to trade Logan Webb. Yes, they'll take the call, but I really don't see them taking the deal, unless they are absolutely blown away. Now, Rafael Devers. I've been very firm on my opinion that Rafael Devers is part of the solution here, and his contract is not underwater. In 2026, he hit 37 home runs with a .525 slugging percentage, 99th percentile in all of Major League Baseball. He also drove in 98 runs. He was just too short of becoming the first Giant to eclipse 100 RBIs since Buster Posey in 2012. Devers also became only the 8th player in SF Giants history with 35 doubles and 35 home runs in a season, next to Bonds, Mays, and McCovey. That's what a cornerstone bat looks like, and that's exactly the guy that the Giants were trying to get in free agency over the past couple of years. Not to mention he finished on an absolute heater, a 1.318 OPS over his last 15 games, and he was doing it while injured. His deal has 7 years left at roughly $29.2 million a season. For a guy who produces like that, I will take that every day of the week. He did all of this while hitting .258, getting on base at a .340 clip, and an OPS at .865. He was also worth 3.6 wins above replacement. Just look at the list he was on. Bonds, Mays, McCovey, Kent, Aurelia, and Ott. Those are the names that he's in company with. And this was just his first full season in San Francisco, and that was with an abysmal May and being injured throughout the course of the season. Even with the slow month of April and May, he finished top 3% in baseball and slugging, and in the top 6% in OPS. It's rare to see a hitter that is truly oracle proof, but the Giants have gotten one in Rafael Devers. But here's the issue, teams were not lining up for him or any of the Giants' big contracts at the trade deadline. Julian Mack reported the Giants found virtually no suitors for Devers, Willie Adames, or Matt Chapman. That's roughly $455 million still owed to those after 2026, and the market said no thank you. So when the report says the Giants are going to be listening to every single player on their roster, the real question is, who would anyone in the league actually pay for? Teams looked at Devers, Adames, Chapman, and thought to themselves, they are not worth giving up real assets. Also, Chapman and Adames both have full no-trade clauses, meaning that even if a team wanted them, they would need those guys' permission. So the list of Giants who could actually be traded is much shorter than that report makes it sound. Of the other big contracts on the Giants' books between Willie Adames, Matt Chapman, and Jungkook Lee, Matt Chapman is by far the most valuable because of his safety net at third base. Chapman has five gold gloves and two platinum gloves, and he has four years left at $100.7 million. The glove is going to be there whether you like it or not, it just depends if the bat is. 2026 was by far the worst offensive season of Matt Chapman's career and of course he ended it by getting injured. He had a 96 wRC plus which was his first time of his career finishing below average and he only hit seven home runs which was also the first time in his career he didn't reach double digits. The one good thing about Chapman's season offensively is he was very good with runners in scoring position. Now Adames is the real contract that looks pretty rough right now. In 2026, he was negative 17 oOPS of average and negative 14 fielding run value, both among the worst in all of MLB. His strikeout rate has also gone up in each of the last three seasons, 25.1% in 24, 26.1% in 25, and 27.5% in 2026. He also mightily struggled to get on base last season at a .289 on base percentage. That was in just the 13th percentile of Major League Baseball. But he does give you good power output from the shortstop position. 32 home runs in 2024, 30 in 2025, then 21 in 2026, despite the down year and injuries. So yes, I do think Willie Adames' bat is going to bounce back next year, and he does bring you real value when he's healthy. But if that glove continues to decline and the strikeouts continue to rise, the Giants are going to have some uncomfortable conversations. Again, I do believe in Adamas' bat. I think he can bounce back next season, hit .230 with 30 home runs and 90 RBIs. But that glove has been rough, and now there's some injury questions. Lastly, there's Jung-Hoo Lee. Who is one of the most interesting cases on this roster. Over the last two seasons, he's hit .266 and .276. In June of this season, it really looked like the Giants had finally gotten the KBO star they thought they were getting when they signed him a few seasons ago. He was hitting .331 in late June and right in the middle of plenty of all-star conversations. And I will say, for the Jung-Hoo Lee haters out there, his expected batting average was .293 against the .276 he actually hit. 93rd percentile, so the contact suggests he could be better. Now, I honestly don't think anyone would be surprised if Jung-Hoo Lee finally settled in and hit north of .300 next season. The problem is, throughout his two years and some change in Major League Baseball, it's been widely mediocre. Yes, he put the ball in play a lot and struck out just 9.8% of the time last year in the 98th percentile of baseball. But you're not going to get a lot of damage from Jung-Koo Lee. He hit 10 home runs, yes, his first season reaching double digits, but his barrel rate was just 2.1% in the 10th percentile. So as of right now, Jung-Hoo Lee is a guy who hits .270-ish with a .400 slugging percentage and 50-60 RBIs. That is just not a franchise bat. Yes, he's been an above-average big leaguer, but he has not been worth the contract. Because of how expensive he is over the next year, and if he opts in the next three years, I would not be surprised to see if the Giants explore trading him. But again, Jung-Koo Lee also brings in a lot of money to the San Francisco Giants with jersey sales and the overseas exposure. So here's where I land. Logan Webb and Rafael Devers should both be in San Francisco to open the 2027 campaign. But Matt Chapman, Willie Adamez, and Jung-Hoo Lee are all wildcards. Yes, Jim Bowden's report suggests the Giants are going to listen on everybody, but the trade deadline last season told us that the market has already decided what they think of a lot of these San Francisco Giants.
