The San Francisco Giants are having a tough time this season. At 13-19, the Giants are last in the NL West, even behind the Colorado Rockies.
Things aren't going too well, and if things don't turn around soon, they might end up as sellers at the MLB trade deadline. If they do sell, there are some interesting players they could deal away.
One MLB executive predicted for MLB.com's Mark Feinsand that the $12 million infielder the Giants just signed this past offseason, Luis Arraez, would be dealt this season.
Giants predicted to trade Luis Arraez at deadline
"As part of our annual first-month executives poll, we asked 20 front-office members whom they believed would be the biggest name moved by the Aug. 3 Trade Deadline," Feinsand writes. "... Luis Arraez, Giants (1 vote)."
While Arraez received just one vote, that lone vote is still noteworthy. If an MLB executive is predicting that Arraez could be on the move, there is a seemingly real chance he's dealt this year.
