Thursday BP: How hard should the Giants buy at the deadline?
Briefly

The San Francisco Giants will buy at the 2025 MLB trade deadline, maintaining a competitive approach rather than selling. They have already lost significant assets in prior trades and must evaluate how much more to give up for the current season. Their needs include a starter, hitter, and left-handed reliever, but the cost and availability of quality players present challenges. The team may target modest pickups, likely involving lower-tier prospects to avoid further depleting their talent pool.
The Giants won't be sellers at the 2025 MLB trade deadline due to their competitive standing, barring a significant collapse.
Even if they are buyers, they face challenges in acquiring impactful players without overexposing their young talent.
Potential acquisitions like another starter come at a high cost, complicating the Giants' approach to addressing team needs for the season.
The quest for improvement includes possible trades for hitters and relief pitchers, but current roster players may still outperform potential targets.
