NEW YORK (AP) Jeurys Familia has been traded by the New York Mets to the Oakland Athletics for two minor leaguers and international bonus money.

Is it reasonable to be upset with the Giants front office for the 2018 team they’ve built, which so far appears to be inadequate?

Still, Giants beat writer Andrew Baggarly doesn’t think the club will look to make a trade to combat the Dodgers’ acquisition of Machado. He did, however, throw out a player San Francisco could target at the deadline, when he joined Murph & Mac on Thursday.

As the July 31 trade deadline approaches, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com is reporting that the San Francisco Giants are high on a Yankees pitching prospect.

Giants beat writer for The Athletic Andrew Baggarly, stopped by the Fitz & Brooks Podcast to talk about Samardzija’s issue, and how it could affect the rest of the staff moving forward.

Earlier this week, The Athletic polled over 240 current MLB players, asking them 21 questions ranging from who the most intimidating pitcher in baseball is, to which city has the worst fans.

The National League adopting the designated hitter is ‘gaining momentum’ among players according to Tony Clark, the executive director of the MLB Players Association.

The Baltimore Orioles will trade All-Star shortstop Manny Machado to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday, “barring a last minute snag,” according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

Longtime Giants beat writer Henry Schulman joined Gary & Larry on Monday afternoon, and engaged in a wide-ranging discussion about what San Francisco plans to do before trade deadline on July 31.

The Giants are interested in acquiring Mets closer Jeurys Familia, according to Buster Olney of ESPN. The Phillies are also interested, but may wait until the Manny Machado and Zach Britton situations are resolved before making a move, according to Olney.
