This week, we're joined by Jim Bowden, a former MLB GM and current writer for The Athletic, to break down the Giants' options and what they might get in return. The Giants are one of the few teams in the playoff hunt that are sellers, and with 22 of the 30 teams within three and a half games of the playoffs, it's a seller's market.

Jim shares his insights on the team's trade deadline strategy and what they might be looking for in return for players like Robbie Ray, Luis Arraez, and Helliot Ramos. Jim also weighs in on the team's decision to trade for Rafael Devers last year and whether it was a good move.

In this episode, we're joined by Jim Bowden, a former MLB GM and current writer for The Athletic, to break down the latest news and rumors surrounding the Giants' potential trades. From the blockbuster deal that brought Rafael Devers to the Giants last year to the current state of the team's farm system, Jim shares his expert analysis and insights on what the Giants can expect in the coming days. The Giants are in a seller's market, with 22 of the 30 teams within three and a half games of the playoffs. This means that the team has a unique opportunity to trade away players who are not contributing to their current season.

He also shares his thoughts on the team's current management, led by Buster Posey, and whether they have the experience and expertise to lead the team to success. One of the key players the Giants are looking to trade is Logan Webb, their ace pitcher. Jim weighs in on the pros and cons of trading Webb, and whether it's the right decision for the team.
