Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants

According to Andrew Baggarly, the Giants explored trade possibilities before Ray's latest start but ultimately held off. The decision paid off as Ray delivered another strong outing while avoiding injury, potentially boosting his value just days before the MLB trade deadline. We break down why San Francisco was willing to take the risk, Jeff Passan's report that the Giants are open to paying down part of Ray's remaining salary, and what kind of return Buster Posey could now be targeting.

We also discuss why the trade market has been unusually quiet. MLB insiders report buyers and sellers remain far apart, with most executives expecting the biggest moves to come Sunday or Monday. Is the calm before the storm finally here?

Finally, we cover the latest details surrounding Harrison Bader's scooter accident and what it means for the Giants moving forward.

Robbie Ray shined bright today in what was likely his final start as a San Francisco Giant, as he spun six solid innings in a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres. It is widely expected that the team will move Ray before the fast-approaching trade deadline, but what can they realistically expect to get back for him, and where will he land when the dust settles? As for today's contest, Daniel Susac smashed his third home run in the last two days and drove in three of the San Francisco Giants' four runs, overcoming the club's continued struggles with runners in scoring position. But the question remains: Is this the last time we will see Robbie Ray in the orange and black? Special guest Mark Willard of 95.7 The Game joins the show.

Did Tony Vitello just say goodbye to Luis Arraez?

Following another Giants win over the Brewers, Vitello delivered an emotional response when asked about Arraez, saying, "We don't have enough time here... He made literally everyone's day better. Every day." We break down why those comments sounded like a farewell, what they could mean with the MLB trade deadline just hours away, and whether the Giants are preparing to move one of their biggest trade chips.

Plus, Giants GM Zack Minasian offered a rare look behind the scenes of deadline negotiations, revealing the organization has discussed more than a dozen players while trying to separate serious trade offers from routine check-ins. We explain what that tells us about San Francisco's approach as the clock winds down.

Finally, we dive into the latest deadline intel from Jeff Passan and Jim Bowden, including potential fits for Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray, and Heliot Ramos, and whether the Giants should reconsider moving premium talent if a team like the Rays is truly willing to part with elite prospects.

The San Francisco Giants bludgeoned the Milwaukee Brewers today in a 16-3 win in the rubber match to secure their second consecutive series win on this homestand. Heliot Ramos and Luis Arraez combined for eight hits and five RBI in the win, and with the trade deadline just a few days away, a game like this might slightly boost the value of both hitters. Logan Webb was pretty solid in the win, as he gave the San Francisco Giants six innings of work while only giving up two runs. Also of note in today's game, Daniel Susac popped his first career big-league home run, then followed it up with a second homer later in the game.

The San Francisco Giants can't seem to catch a break.

Just days before the MLB trade deadline, the Giants were hit with another wave of injuries. Casey Schmitt is expected to miss significant time with a torn meniscus, Harrison Bader is dealing with a scooter-related injury, and pitching prospect Trevor McDonald will undergo Tommy John surgery. We discuss what each injury means and how it impacts the Giants' plans for the rest of the season.

Plus, the trade deadline continues to heat up. The Athletic breaks down the Giants' most likely trade partners and reports continued interest in Luis Arraez, while Jeff Passan casts doubt on the return San Francisco could receive for Arraez or Robbie Ray. Susan Slusser also believes Heliot Ramos is increasingly likely to be dealt before the deadline. We break down the latest reports and what they mean for Buster Posey's biggest decisions.
