We are getting deeper into the baseball season, and we are now less than two months away from the August 3 MLB trade deadline. For some teams, it's becoming clear whether they need to become buyers or sellers before the trade deadline. One of the teams that is clearly going to be a seller is the San Francisco Giants.
San Francisco is currently sitting at just 27-40 and 15.5 games out of first place in the NL West. Only the Colorado Rockies have a worse record in the National League. Unless there is some sort of immediate and drastic turnaround for the Giants, they will be looking to move expiring contracts for young talent who can help them beyond this year before August 3. Their key fantasy stars could be on the move, and it could have a major impact on your fantasy team.
One of their biggest trade chips could be Luis Arraez. He may be a one-dimensional contact hitter, but he's batting .324 this season and has proven to have elite bat-to-ball skills. His fielding has also been solid this season at second base, despite this being a very small sample size for a player who has never been a good fielder. Teams won't be getting any power out of him, but a contact hitter who can move base runners from station to station while rarely striking out can be extremely valuable for an offense.
