Report: Giants scouting Reds' Mike Leake - Mike Leake (S) Cincinnati Reds

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Giants president Brian Sabean and scout Lee Elder were scouting Mike Leake during his start on Saturday versus the Cubs.

Rosenthal notes that they were at Johnny Cueto's outing on Friday, as well, but the feeling is that Leake is a more likely trade target. Leake has had some clunkers over the last month but had pitched really well before that, posting a 4.35 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 13 starts overall this season. He'll be a free agent after the season and is likely to be dealt somewhere before the deadline.
