GettySan Francisco Giants’ president of baseball operations, Buster Posey, watches the Giants during batting practice before their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Oracle Park on September 12, 2025 in San Francisco, California.
The Giants have a very talented roster, but are also among the worst teams in baseball this season.
Therefore, they are seen as a team being very likely to sell at the trade deadline.
On Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA TODAY reported that the Giants are willing to listen to offers on Jung Hoo Lee.
Nightengale wrote (via his story): “They’re all ears, too, if someone wants to engage in serious talks about outfielder Jung-Hoo Lee.”
While a lot of the veterans on the roster being available makes sense, Lee potentially being traded would be a surprise.
At just 27, he is among the most popular players on the team.
Lee is also batting .302 with 100 hits, five home runs, 33 RBIs, 46 runs and six stolen bases in 88 games.

Here’s what people were saying about the report from Nightengale:
@ABartholomew_05: “Could definitely be wrong here but if Lee were to be traded I wouldn’t expect a huge return for him. He has a 112 wRC+ and his defensive metrics are not great. Plus he’s on the books for 18 million for at least one more season after this year.”
@KsLeep9391: “Yankees. GET HIM.”
@KeishaunTurner: “Lmaooooooo boys want to clear the entire roster after 1 season. This is the Dodgers fault btw 😂😂😂”
Lee is in the middle of his third MLB season (all with the Giants).
He was one of the biggest snubs from the 2026 MLB All-Star Game.
