The San Francisco Giants have not fully committed to becoming sellers at the trade deadline. But they are moving closer to making that determination.In recent days, the Giants have put out feelers on some of their players, testing the waters for potential deals, according to people briefed on their discussions.The deadline is still more than seven weeks away, leaving the Giants time to push toward contention. But at 29-43, they own the second-worst record in the National League, ahead of only the Colorado Rockies.The most obvious players for the Giants to move would be two of their potential free agents, second baseman Luis Arraez and left-hander Robbie Ray. It’s doubtful they could swing quality deals for expensive and underperforming veterans such as first baseman Rafael Devers and shortstop Willy Adames. The team has zero plans to part with ace right-hander Logan Webb, one source said.Another possible candidate to move is third baseman Matt Chapman, who is in the second year of a six-year, $151 million contract that includes a full no-trade clause. Chapman, 33, has recovered from an early slump to lead the team with 3.2 bWAR. Trading him would create payroll flexibility and open third base for Casey Schmitt.The Giants, according to Cot’s Baseball Contracts, entered the season with a $197.1 million payroll, the 11th highest in the majors and third-highest in club history. They hired manager Tony Vitello from the University of Tennessee with the idea of reviving the franchise and producing only their second winning season since 2016.Instead, they have been a major disappointment.The deficits the Giants face — 16 games out in the NL West, nine back in the wild-card race — are massive. Their odds of making the playoffs, according to Fangraphs, sit at 2.5 percent.Arraez, 29, has been the Giants’ best player, batting .319 with a .787 OPS and showing marked improvement at second base, where he ranks second only to the St. Louis Cardinals’ JJ Wetherholt in Outs Above Average. Any team that acquired him would owe him the balance of his $12 million salary.Ray, 34, is less attractive and more of a back-of-the-rotation option at this stage of his career than a pitcher who could start a postseason game. He has averaged just over five innings per start, and his 5.16 expected ERA is higher than his actual 4.42. He also is owed the balance of his $25 million salary, so he likely would bring a negligible return.The Athletic’s Grant Brisbee contributed to this story
