The MLB GM Meetings begin today in Las Vegas. With less than a month until the CBA expires it will be interesting to see how much action there is before the lockout. The SF Giants’ front office might choose to be proactive and make some signings or trades ahead of that December 1 deadline and if they do it’s worth looking at some of their best trade chips going into the meetings.

Now, it’s important to note that teams may be reluctant to trade players away given the uncertainty surrounding the 2027 season. Is it really worth trading for a guy who is going to be a free agent after 2027 when there’s not even a guarantee that a full season will be played?

Still, the Giants do have enticing trade chips other teams would be open to. Let’s take a look at three who would be among the easiest to trade from San Francisco’s perspective.

3 of the best Giants trade chips going into GM Meetings

Casey Schmitt

While the Giants may not be compelled to trade Casey Schmitt since he showed how good a hitter he can be last year, other teams would certainly be interested in a versatile player with power who is under team control for several more years.

If the Giants wanted to make a trade to upgrade their pitching staff, say with a team like the New York Yankees, Schmitt would be an obvious trade chip to dangle although it might be a better bet to just sign some free agent pitchers rather than having to part with him.

Jhonny Level

While the Giants have a wealth of young shortstops in their farm system, Jhonny Level may be the most attractive trade chip just because he is the furthest along in the minors. He made it up to High-A Eugene in 2026 and has impressively thrived at every level he’s been at.

The 19-year-old is a switch hitter who can play shortstop, second base, and third base. San Francisco would still have Josuar Gonzalez and Luis Hernandez in the farm system so if they feel they could get a pitcher or two by trading Level they might be willing to do it.

Logan Webb

While I think it’s highly unlikely the Giants will trade Logan Webb this offseason, if we are talking about “tradable” players as guys other teams would jump at the chance to get then Webb is an obvious candidate.

He is coming off a down year but the Giants would still be able to get a nice trade package for him. They probably wouldn’t trade him unless 2027 goes really poorly and a rebuild becomes more of a possibility, but teams would certainly line up to try and get him.

Personally, I doubt the Giants, or any team for that matter, will be all that active on the trade front this month. So much is unknown about next season but if San Francisco wanted to make a splash then these three players make sense as trade chips.
