The Giants have informed other teams that they\u2019ll listen to offers on some of their bullpen, reports<\/a> Jon Morosi of MLB Network. Francys Romero reports<\/a> that Camilo Doval<\/a>, in particular, has drawn interest from several teams. San Francisco has dropped five consecutive games and is now sitting .500 on the season \u2014 nine games back in the NL West and five games out of a Wild Card spot.<\/p>\n

Doval, 28, popped up in trade rumblings back in the offseason, but the Giants held onto him rather than sell low on the heels of a down season. That\u2019s proven to be the right call, as Doval has bounced back with a 3.15 ERA, a 25.1% strikeout rate, 15 saves and seven holds on the season. His 12.8% walk rate is too high but is down from last year\u2019s even uglier 14.4% mark. Doval sits 98.1 mph with his cutter and can run the pitch up over 100 mph, though his velocity is down a bit from the past three seasons, when he sat over 99 mph. Doval couples the cutter with a slider and what\u2019s now a seldom-used sinker.<\/p>\n

The 2025 season is Doval\u2019s first year of arbitration eligibility. He\u2019s earning $4.525MM and is slated to receive raises in each of the next two seasons. He\u2019s a free agent in the 2027-28 offseason. If the Giants are amenable to a deal, he\u2019d join names like David Bednar<\/a>, Dennis Santana<\/a>, Jhoan Duran<\/a>, Griffin Jax<\/a> and Cade Smith<\/a> as one of the market\u2019s more appealing relievers with some remaining club control.<\/p>\n

Presumably, if the Giants are open to trading any veteran players, righty Tyler Rogers<\/a> would be available. The submariner has been a steady member of San Francisco\u2019s bullpen since 2019 but is in his final season of club control before free agency. The 34-year-old has pitched to a pristine 1.80 earned run average in 50 innings this year. Rogers has never missed many bats but has a 20.2% strikeout rate this season that \u2014 while still lower than average \u2014 represents a step up from the 17.3% mark he posted over the past four seasons. His command has long been a strength, but this year\u2019s minuscule 2.1% walk rate is a career low.<\/p>\n

Rogers offsets his lack of strikeouts with that plus command and also by inducing some of the weakest contact in the sport. His unique arm angle and 83 mph sinker regularly prove difficult to square up. Opponents are averaging just 84.8 mph off the bat against him this year, and Rogers has allowed just a 32.2% hard-hit rate. He\u2019s also kept a massive 64.4% of batted balls against him on the ground.<\/p>\n

Doval and Rogers stand as the two most logical trade candidates in the San Francisco bullpen, but if the Giants wanted to pursue an even more substantial return, they could hear out teams who have interest in Ryan Walker<\/a> or Randy Rodriguez<\/a>. Walker is in the midst of a down season but was one of the National League\u2019s top relievers just last year, when he notched a 1.91 ERA, 32.1% strikeout rate and 5.8% walk rate. He\u2019s controllable for four years after the current season but is a late-blooming arm who\u2019ll turn 30 in November.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old Rodriguez would be overwhelmingly difficult to pry away. He\u2019s controlled for another five years after the 2025 season and currently boasts a 1.20 ERA with a massive 36.3% strikeout rate against a 5.3% walk rate. Rodriguez sits 97.4 mph with his four-seamer, pairing it with a plus slider that\u2019s helped him land in the 90th percentile of big league pitchers in both whiff rate and chase rate on pitches off the plate, per Statcast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants have informed other teams that they\u2019ll listen to offers on some of their bullpen, reports Jon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":213679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2290],"tags":[5,945,12859,946,948],"class_list":{"0":"post-213678","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baseball","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-camilo-doval","10":"tag-randy-rodriguez","11":"tag-ryan-walker","12":"tag-tyler-rogers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114943363887119005","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=213678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/213678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/213679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=213678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=213678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
