Add another team to the Matthew Boyd sweepstakes.

Earlier this month, the San Francisco Giants were widely regarded as sellers ahead of MLB's July 31 trade deadline.

Then the Giants won 11 of 14 to start the second half of the season to give them a 52-51 record, and MLB Network's Jon Morosi relayed a report Thursday that paints them as potential buyers.

According to Morosi, the Giants had "a high-level scout" to watch Detroit Tigers pitcher Matthew Boyd's start on Tuesday.

"According to a source with knowledge of the team's plans, the Giants are poised to become buyers if they're still in the thick of the National League Wild Card race come Monday," MLB.
