I'm not getting my hopes up.  I think we're gonna stand pat.

With the Giants only 2.5 games out of the wildcard and this being Bochy's last season, I don't expect the Giants to move anyone of consequence.

I assume that they're out on Villar and Tampa Bay is out on Mancini.

Nice of MLB to gives us an off day today. Let the Hangout focus all it's considerable energies on the Deadline.

Speak for yourself!   GCL O’s 1, GCL Rays 0, bottom of the 6th inning.

Seems like people want every reliever and utility guy except Givens and Villar right now.

Not wanting Givens is understandable, even in the reliever obsessed market that we're in.

Villar, not so much.

Probably stating the obvious, but the offers are probably just too low. Givens is the worst he's been as a pro, so it makes sense for us to wait a year to let him rebuild value rather than sell low. As for Villar, they have to have 25 MLB-ish players on the roster to play games. Without anyone that can handle full-time duties ready to backfill him, maybe they're deciding to hold on to him in leiu of a poor return.

BlueJays receive former 2017 6th round pick Kyle Johnston. RHP out of U. of Texas. Rated #27 in the Nats' system by MLBPipeline.

Nothing wrong with that, although I really want to move Villar for something, given that he’ll probably be non-tendered this fall.

Another reliever off the market. Guys on mlb network saying prices on high end guys outside Greene aren't reasonable. 

Gotta think Givens goes
