The San Francisco Giants have been searching for offensive help all season.
They currently rank near the bottom of the MLB pack in team batting average (.210, 29th), OPS (.617, 30th), home runs (24, t-26th) and runs scored (90, 28th).
Those issues have been especially prevalent at the corner outfield spots:
- LF: 99 AB, .152/.227/.202, 1 HR, 4 RBI,
- RF: 108 AB, .213/.263/.343, 3 HR, 13 RBI
The team has already added a pair of outfielders on the trade market, acquiring Kevin Pillar from the Toronto Blue Jays and Tyler Austin from the Minnesota Twins.
