The San Francisco Giants are off to a rough start this season, sitting at 13-19 and anchored to the bottom of the NL West—even behind the Colorado Rockies. With the team struggling to find momentum, whispers around the league suggest the Giants could pivot to sellers ahead of the MLB trade deadline if things don't turn around soon.

According to a recent MLB executive poll conducted by MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, one front-office insider predicts that the Giants could part ways with a marquee offseason signing: infielder Luis Arraez. The 29-year-old, who inked a $12 million deal this past winter, received a single vote as the "biggest name moved" by the August 3 trade deadline. While one vote might not seem like a landslide, it's a telling sign from within the industry that a trade could be on the horizon.

Arraez, a two-time All-Star known for his elite bat-to-ball skills, is hitting a solid .303 this season and has surprisingly flashed improved defense at second base. However, with his contract set to expire after the 2026 season, the Giants face a tough decision. If San Francisco continues to slide, trading Arraez as a rental could be a savvy move, allowing a contender to bolster its infield for a playoff push while the Giants recoup some future assets.

For a team in rebuild mode, dealing Arraez wouldn't bring back a blockbuster haul, but it could land a decent return from a club hungry for a reliable left-handed bat and steady glove up the middle. As one MLB executive sees it, the Giants' disappointing start might just lead to a surprising shakeup—and Arraez could be the one packing his bags before August rolls around.
