With a remarkable run to start the month and a stunning surge in the National League Wild Card standings, the Giants’ strategy ahead of the July 31 trade deadline was destined to evolve.
President of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi confirmed that it already has on Thursday.
“The equation has changed with how we’ve played over the last few weeks,” Zaidi said during an interview on KNBR 680.
In a wide-ranging interview that lasted more than 20 minutes, Zaidi said the Giants have not committed to buying, selling or simply standing pat ahead of Wednesday’s deadline. Instead, the first-year executive said he’ll continue to evaluate a variety of potential paths in an effort to maximize the Giants’ short-term and long-term success.
