The San Francisco Giants have to be buyers at the August 1st trade deadline, right? They've got two big problems: the lineup and the rotation, but they might only have prospect capital to address one of them. Bryan and Doug toss out some names who might be worth a high acquisition cost in what's a sellers market while also throwing out the names of some players who might not cost very much to get. Every team has good weeks and bad throughout the season and the Giants' streakiness is pretty familiar, but will 1-2 guys really make all the difference over the final third of the season, especially if it's not a gamechanger like Shohei Ohtani or Juan Soto?
