The SF Giants appear to be in a position to buy going into the July 31st trade deadline. While one division rival appears to be in the process of a fire sale, the San Diego Padres are reportedly trying to both buy and sell ahead of the deadline.
The Giants and Padres are both right there in the NL playoff picture. Both teams are within striking distance of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West standings and San Diego currently holds the final NL Wild Card spot with the Giants only one game back.
