Giants Shop Devers, Adames and Chapman as 30-43 Start Unravels $210 Million Rebuild

30-43 San Francisco is preparing to sell ahead of the trade deadline, with multiple reports saying Rafael Devers, Willy Adames and Matt Chapman are available while Logan Webb is not expected to be moved.
17 games behind the Dodgers and eight back of the final wild-card spot, the Giants have little path to contention despite MLB's expanded playoff field and a payroll that rose to $210 million in 2026.
Posey's biggest roster bets have backfired: Adames has fallen to minus-0.3 WAR, and Devers has nine homers, a .234 average and minus-0.1 WAR after arriving as a franchise centerpiece.
The Devers deal looks worse because Kyle Harrison, one of the prospects sent out, has a 2.47 ERA with 80 strikeouts in 65 innings, underscoring how San Francisco's rebuild has again lost depth and direction.
