Hug watch season is officially upon us, and while there hasn’t been a big move in advance of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, things should pick up soon.As the deadline draws near, teams will be picking up the phones, players will be shipped off to new locales, plenty of hugs will be had and new uniforms will be revealed. Some players are more likely to be on the move than others.Here’s a look, in no particular order, at who will potentially have new duds when the dust settles.TeamPlayerPositionSan Francisco GiantsLuis Arraez2BEven if the Giants were speeding downhill on a joyride to October under Tony Vitello, which they certainly are not (except for the downhill part), it’d be difficult to imagine a future with Arraez after this season. Willy Adames will have to move off shortstop at some point, and given how he’s played this year, it’ll be sooner rather than later. Last year’s first-round pick, middle infielder Gavin Kilen, is making progress in the minor leagues. If Casey Schmitt continues to merit an everyday role, and Matt Chapman continues to inhabit third base, then second base would be a potential avenue. Clearly, if Arraez stayed, or signed a multiyear extension, he’d be blocking someone. So it’s a testament to the special brand of feisty exuberance he exhibits on the field that a sizable number of Giants fans don’t want to see him go. — Andrew BaggarlyTeamPlayerPositionRed SoxJarren DuranOFDuran has been having a down year, struggling to hit above .200, but still shows flashes of the impact player he was in 2024 and, at times, in 2025. The Red Sox began the year with four outfielders in Duran, Roman Anthony, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu, but Anthony has been out since May with a torn finger ligament. That’s given Duran more playing time, though of late he’s been platooning in left against certain lefties with various other players, most recently Jahmai Jones. The Red Sox don’t have an obvious replacement for Duran in the outfield, but they could use Jones or Nate Eaton in left. Including Duran in a package with prospects for a right-handed bat might strengthen any potential deal. A change of scenery might help him, too. — Jen McCaffreyTeamPlayerPositionYankeesJasson DomínguezOFEnvisioning Domínguez’s future with the Yankees is difficult. Trent Grisham will be a free agent at season’s end, but even if the club doesn’t re-sign him, the Yankees don’t believe in Domínguez’s ability in center field. Cody Bellinger just began a five-year contract, and Aaron Judge has right field locked down. The designated hitter spot could open soon, with Giancarlo Stanton only under contract for one more year. But Ben Rice could grab that spot, and Judge will likely get more DH days soon. So where does Domínguez fit? He may never be passable defensively, and his bat has been disappointing. Another club could view him as a former No. 1 prospect who is still only 23 years old. — Chris KirschnerTeamPlayerPositionAngelsReid DetmersLHPThe only players of value that the Angels have to trade this deadline are players with multiple years of control. Under recently fired GM Perry Minasian, and his boss, owner Arte Moreno, the Angels were loath to trade away such players. But under the more seasoned interim John Mozeliak, it appears the Angels are at least open to operating differently. Detmers is arguably one of the most valuable trade chips on the market. He has two-plus years of team control, with ace potential. Teams will view him as an elite change of scenery option. The Angels don’t need to trade him. But they need to trade some players, and Detmers arguably makes the most sense. — Sam BlumTeamPlayerPositionRaysCarson WilliamsINFThere are no Rays players on our Big Board of trade candidates, and we’re betting they’ll hold onto top prospect Theo Gillen, but former top prospect Carson Williams could be interesting trade bait. Williams struggled in a couple of looks at the big-league level, but he’s still 23 and not far removed from being a consensus top 50 — or higher — prospect in the entire sport. His value is down, but if the Rays aren’t sold on Williams as a part of their major league future — they’re still paying all-glove Taylor Walls at shortstop — maybe his combination of upside and big league readiness can help bring in a catcher or an outfielder who can hit. — Chad JenningsTeamPlayerPositionMetsBrooks RaleyLHP
