On the eve of the MLB trade deadline, Buster Olney and Jeff Passan of ESPN shared the latest rumblings they have been hearing from sources around the league. While the San Francisco Giants did not feature prominently in the story, Passan did acknowledge the front office is more open to selling their relievers than previously reported.
“Considering the number of teams that desire impact relief help — the Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, both New York teams and the Los Angeles Dodgers — the ones that have it are understandably holding out for a strong return,” Passan wrote.
