The San Francisco Giants are having a terrible 2026 season. Once viewed as postseason contenders for the year, they're now at 14-22 and very much outside the hunt for October.
While things are going poorly, there are a few individuals who are having solid seasons. Casey Schmitt is having a breakout campaign, but there's another infielder who is having a good season.
That infielder is Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report's most likely trade chip in a $12 million signing of Luis Arraez. After a strong start to the year, especially defensively, Arraez could be on the move at this year's deadline.
"San Francisco Giants: 2B Luis Arraez," Miller writes. "However, Arraez is the three-time batting champ who would be a welcome addition to a lot of lineups.
If the Giants did trade Arraez, or at least made him available to acquire, then there is a good chance that a bidding war could ensue, and make this a worthwhile trade for the Giants.
Luis Arraez is viewed as a trade chip due to his strong defensive performance and solid season, making him attractive to other teams.

While the 2026 season might be a disaster, the development that Arraez has made defensively, while maintaining his solid offensive presence, could open the door to a lucrative trade deadline.
Arraez is under contract for just the 2026 season at $12 million and is a clear trade candidate amid a disaster season for the Giants.
There are bound to be teams interested in the .738 OPS and .316 average infielder with impressive defense.
The Kansas City Royals, Tampa Bay Rays, Texas Rangers, Detroit Tigers, New York Mets, and potentially others could look to add Arraez in a trade this year to bolster their infield.
Adding a player like Arraez, who is a good fielder and a great contact hitter with a batting average of .316, is very appealing for a contender.
While 2026 might be a disaster for the Giants, this potential bidding war for Arraez could at least bring back some strong value for a rental infielder to make up for how bad the year has gone.
