That leaves Flores, Brebbia, and Leone((?) as desirable. And, hey, maybe Slater. He does have the highest batting avg and by far highest on base percentage right now. Someone might go for Yaz with the name.
It doesn't matter that the Giants don't have that many trade assets as much as it does that they have two with high value and a couple others who have some.
The Giants trade assets:
Rodon: Would be the most coveted trade deadline player by a lot, IMO
Pedersen: What contender doesn't want an All-Star OF who has 30+ HR power, especially when he can DH
Junis: This one is tricky due to his injury, but is having great season and expected back after AS break, before trade deadline
Leone: He's had two bad outings this year, but otherwise been pretty solid, and quality bullpen arms have great value for contenders
Rodon throwing CG and allowing 1 run against a contending team certainly solidified or maybe even boosted his already high value.
Slater, sadly, might be in that mix. Great on base player, very good hitter, can't stay healthy, will be 30 next year, inexpensive. If SF is selling, he might be going...
