The San Francisco Giants are navigating a season that hasn’t quite gone according to plan. Under the guidance of first-year manager Tony Vitello, the Giants find themselves with the second-worst record in the National League, sitting at 27-39. While they’re not entirely out of the playoff picture, the odds of a miraculous turnaround seem to dwindle with each passing day.

This scenario sets the stage for the Giants to potentially become sellers as the trade deadline approaches, with whispers of some big names possibly being on the move. The big question on everyone’s mind is whether the Giants would consider parting ways with their ace starting pitcher, Logan Webb.

Webb being traded would certainly raise eyebrows. Remember, it wasn’t long ago that the Giants made waves by acquiring Rafael Devers and parting with Patrick Bailey, moves that surprised many. Now, with the team seemingly headed towards a roster shake-up, the possibility of a fire sale looms large.

Webb has been a beacon of consistency and reliability on the mound when healthy, and he’s got two years left on a five-year, $90 million contract he inked with the Giants. Trading him would demand a significant return, given his stature as a perennial Cy Young Award contender who has logged over 200 innings in each of the past three seasons.

But would the Giants really consider such a drastic move? It’s a tough call.

Losing two years of Webb’s prime while banking on prospects to fill the void presents a considerable risk. As things stand, it seems unlikely that the Giants would take such a leap, leaving fans to wonder what the roster will look like as they head into next season.
