GIANTS TRADE DECISION: Gamble on Robbie Ray Pays Off, Deadline Buzz

According to Andrew Baggarly, the Giants explored trade possibilities before Ray's latest start but ultimately held off. The decision paid off as Ray delivered another strong outing while avoiding injury, potentially boosting his value just days before the MLB trade deadline. We break down why San Francisco was willing to take the risk, Jeff Passan's report that the Giants are open to paying down part of Ray's remaining salary, and what kind of return Buster Posey could now be targeting. We also discuss why the trade market has been unusually quiet. MLB insiders report buyers and sellers remain far apart, with most executives expecting the biggest moves to come Sunday or Monday. Is the calm before the storm finally here? Finally, we cover the latest details surrounding Harrison Bader's scooter accident and what it means for the Giants moving forward. 0:00 Good gamble on Ray? 9:37 When will something happen? 20:38 Bader crash   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-san-francisco-giants/ Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnMLB Tune in for a detailed breakdown on the current state of your San Francisco Giants!
