The trade deadline is closing in, with less than two weeks until the non-waiver trade deadline on July 31st. Trades have already begun, and the rumors that have started already will only heat up as the deadline draws closer. The San Francisco Giants are involved in a number of rumors, and figure to be at least somewhat busy in the coming days.
First and foremost, the Pablo Sandoval rumors should be addressed. After being designated for assignment earlier this week just halfway through his five-year deal, the Boston Red Sox put the third baseman on release waivers.
