The MLB GM Meetings are going on in Las Vegas right now. The clock is ticking ahead of the lockout and while trades may not be incredibly likely since teams do not really know what 2027 is going to look like, maybe the SF Giants will explore some potential deals.

We know that Buster Posey is not afraid to make trades as he swung a blockbuster for Rafael Devers in 2025 and aggressively sold at both the 2025 and 2026 trade deadline. He hasn't really made any huge offseason trades though but maybe that will change this time around.

Let's take a look at one trade that could be realistic, one that would be realistic, and one they should avoid as talks ramp up in Las Vegas.

Which trades should the Giants pursue or avoid this offseason?

Realistic: Trading Turner Hill for a potential bullpen arm

While the Giants cleared up their 40-man roster, they are going to have tough decisions to make going forward. They have a lot of outfielders on the 40-man roster and they may need to clear some guys out.

Trading Turner Hill might be a smart move if the Giants could get a promising bullpen arm in return. They probably couldn't get a big league arm, but maybe if they like a guy who is in Double-A or Triple-A with another organization it might make sense to have a swap.

Aggressive: Trading Casey Schmitt for a pitcher

If the Giants want to land pitching this offseason, trading Schmitt may be one way to do that. He had a great 2026 at the plate and proved that he is defensively versatile so there are lots of teams that would be interested.

Teams with a pitching surplus like the Seattle Mariners or New York Yankees would make sense. Maybe a Schmitt for Will Warren trade with New York would make sense for both sides.

It would be an aggressive move though and carries some risk because Schmitt could end up being a really solid player and there is no guarantee the pitcher they'd get in return would be great.

Mistake: Trading Logan Webb or Rafael Devers

While one could make an argument for why the Giants should trade some of their better players like Logan Webb and Rafael Devers and opt for more of a rebuild approach, they should at least give this team one more chance to turn things around.

2026 was terrible but teams can go from being really bad to respectable in a hurry so it would be a mistake for the Giants to totally blow things up this offseason.

It will be interesting to see if the Giants, or any team for that matter, make any major deals ahead of the lockout.
