Holding a slim lead in the wild card race, the Giants (58-49) did not make a move by Tuesday’s 3 p.m. PT trade deadline.
SAN FRANCISCO — Giants brass, from president Farhan Zaidi on down, have said they believe the believe the group of players in their clubhouse is a playoff-worthy one, and they made their strongest statement yet Tuesday, opting to stand pat ahead of MLB’s trade deadline.
Potential middle infield help was scooped up by the Blue Jays and Braves . Their closest competitor in the wild card race, the Phillies, bolstered their starting rotation by adding Detroit’s Michael Lorenzen, as did Bruce Bochy’s Texas Rangers and the rest of the AL West . The Marlins, also in the wild card mix, made the biggest offensive splash of the deadline, adding slugging third baseman Jake Burger to their lineup in a deal with the White Sox.
The Giants’ own stable of pitchers — Alex Wood, Jakob Junis, Sean Manaea, Ross Stripling — also drew interest from other teams but weren’t moved. Forlorn catcher Joey Bart also remained with the organization despite reportedly coming up in talks.
