Rafael Devers may not have to worry about another midseason move.
The San Francisco Giants have had "zero internal conversations" about trading Devers this summer, per FanSided's Robert Murray. They're also not looking to move Matt Chapman and Willy Adames despite the highly compensated infield's sluggish start to the 2026 season.
The Giants are "optimistic" that Devers and other underperformers will rebound. The former Boston Red Sox star has fueled that confidence by batting .366/.426/.707 this month after ending April with a .537 OPS.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale wrote Sunday that the Giants "would love to unload" Devers, Chapman and Adames before the Aug. 3 trade deadline. However, none of the veteran hitters seemed likely to command a big market with long-term contracts and middling results.

Despite his May resurgence, Devers' trade value has likely depreciated since the Red Sox unexpectedly sent him to San Francisco last June. The two-time Silver Slugger is hitting .239/.331/.439 with 25 home runs and a 29.8 percent strikeout rate in 133 games with his new National League club.
That slash line may not motivate suitors to pursue a player with over $200 million remaining on his contract through 2033. Devers, who turns 30 in October, also moved to first base last year while seeing plenty of reps as a designated hitter.
The Giants could look to sell this summer if they don't improve their 18-25 record. Yet Murray identified pitchers Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle as more likely trade candidates to watch.
