Dan says record breaking contracts are just a way of life in sports and these deals are sometimes actually bargains (like Patrick Mahomes). And he talks to MLB insider Jon Morosi as the trade deadline is looming next week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The San Francisco Giants look completely lost right now. They've lost a season-high six straight games, and perhaps most perplexing is that they did so following a seven-game winning streak. The Giants won their first five games coming out of the All-Star break, only to lose the last six on their season-high 11-game road trip. Still, the SF Giants return home seven games over .500 and tied for a wild card spot. The Giants' next six games before the Aug. 1 trade deadline will be critical, and it starts with a two-game series against the MLB-worst Oakland A's. The Giants must take advantage or risk losing their position as probable buyers. When it comes to potential trades, none would be more impactful than Shohei Ohtani. The Japanese superstar could be traded in the next week, but would the SF Giants be a potential fit? Whom would the Giants have to part with in order to land the best player in baseball? It's important to keep in mind that, as great as he is, Ohtani is a pure rental—he's only under team control for the remainder of the 2023 season. That caps his value, and the cost probably wouldn't be quite as high as many seem to think. One of Kyle Harrison, Luis Matos, or Marco Luciano would likely be the headliner of a potential deal. Other trade possibilities include the likes of Justin Verlander and Tommy Edman. The Giants were reported to be interested in Verlander by MLB Network's Jon Morosi, and Locked On Giants host Ben Kaspick believes Edman is the ideal position player fit for the San Francisco Giants. Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:

Following a brutally awful series in Washington D.C., the San Francisco Giants have serious work to do ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline. The SF Giants' flaws have been on full display lately: it's clear that they need another good and reliable starter to pair with Logan Webb and Alex Cobb, but it's also clear that the Giants need to offload one or more of their struggling starters on guaranteed contracts. Anthony DeSclafani, Alex Wood, Ross Stripling, and Sean Manaea, in particular, are taking up space and not getting the job done. The only pitchers the SF Giants can option are Logan Webb, Camilo Doval, Tyler Rogers, and Ryan Walker. But the Giants are obviously not optioning any of the first three, and Walker has been as reliable as anyone in the bullpen. And the SF Giants are carrying the maximum number of pitchers. They will need to activate John Brebbia at some point. Tristan Beck doesn't seem to belong in Triple-A. And the Giants should be adding a starter. So their only choice is to trade or DFA some of their struggling pitchers, which also includes Jakob Junis. The Giants were linked to Justin Verlander in a report by MLB Network's Jon Morosi. Verlander is owed a ton of money, is 40 years old, and isn't doing so great himself, but he would be an upgrade over the Giants' expendable mix. It's also become clear that the Giants need middle infield help. Casey Schmitt and Brett Wisely are playing everyday in the absence of Thairo Estrada and Brandon Crawford, and it hasn't gone well at the plate. The Giants don't have to give up on either, but they need more reliable production if they truly want to be in the postseason. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
