Giants Keep Jung Hoo Lee and Make Heliot Ramos Available

The move signals a seller strategy before the Aug. 3 trade deadline to convert controllable assets into roster returns.

Overview

  • The Giants told other clubs on Sunday that right fielder Jung Hoo Lee will remain in San Francisco and is not being shopped ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline.
  • San Francisco has made left fielder Heliot Ramos available in trade talks, a development reported across multiple outlets on July 26.
  • Ramos is under club control through 2029 and has a .738 OPS this season, traits that make him a valuable right-handed outfield target for contenders.
  • The team has formally adopted a seller posture after a 44-60 start, with veterans such as Luis Arraez and Robbie Ray seen as likely trade candidates and prospects like Bryce Eldridge and Logan Webb considered untouchable.
  • Expect multiple teams, including the Phillies, Braves and Mariners, to pursue Ramos and potentially drive a competitive return that could reshape the Giants' roster before the deadline.
