Buster Posey is one of the few Major League Baseball front office members to have former teammates on his roster. Posey stepped into a front office role after he retired in 2021. Since then, he has done his best to build contenders around Logan Webb and Co.. He made a move Wednesday to make that happen, sending Tyler Rodgers to the New York Mets. The trade turned heads around the league, with some Giants fans bashing Posey for sending the reliever away.

Henry Davis' fielder's-choice grounder brought home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday. Pittsburgh has won five in a row. San Francisco went 0-6 on its homestand, the first time since 1896 the Giants franchise has gone winless on a homestand of six or more games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The San Francisco Giants were once positioned to make some noise in the National League. The Giants are 9 1/2 games back of a wild card spot in the National League, and indicated their intention to sell when they traded Tyler Rogers away to the New York Mets. Mike Yastrzemski will be a free agent after the season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates pushed their winning streak to five games on Wednesday, July 30, sweeping the San Francisco Giants in a 2-1 extra-innings win.

The New York Mets made multiple moves to improve their bullpen before the MLB trade deadline, and Ryne Stanek is all for it.

New York sent pitchers Buttó and Blade Tidwell to the Giants, along with minor league outfield prospect Drew Gilbert. Tidwell was at Triple-A Syracuse after making two starts and two relief appearances for the Mets this season.

The Giants lost their sixth straight game Wednesday as the Pirates completed the sweep but Mike Yastrzemski went all out to snap the skid.

SAN FRANCISCO -- - Henry Davis' fielder's-choice grounder brought home the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates completed a three-game sweep of the San Francisco Giants with a 2-1 victory on Wednesday. Pittsburgh has won five in a row. San Francisco went 0-6 on its homestand, the first time since 1896 the Giants franchise has gone winless on a homestand of six or more games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

On a day that began with one team acquiring a Rogers twin while the other traded one away, the Pittsburgh Pirates scored a 10-inning run without the benefit of a hit and held on to defeat the San Francisco Giants 2-1 to complete a three-game road sweep Wednesday afternoon. Neither Rogers brother was available for the series finale, with the left-handed Taylor having been dealt from the Cincinnati Reds to the Pirates shortly before the righty Tyler was dealt from the Giants to the New York Mets. With extra-innings ghost runner Oneil Cruz on third after an infield out and Jack Suwinski, who had walked, on first, Giants reliever Ryan Walker (2-4) coaxed a comebacker out of Henry Davis.

One of the goals that the New York Mets wanted to accomplish ahead of the trade deadline was to upgrade the bullpen, and they have accomplished that. Over the weekend, they landed left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for pitching prospects Wellington Aracena and Cameron Foster.

Once considered contenders for the NL West, the San Francisco Giants have lost five straight games and 11 of their last 13. Mired in an ugly slump, San Francisco signaled that it's ready to become sellers at the trade deadline by shipping talented reliever Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets on Wednesday. Now veteran starter Justin Verlander could be the next big name the team moves ahead of Thursday's deadline. With the former MVP on an expiring contract, the Giants are making Verlander available on the market, according to MLB Network's Jon Morosi.“Out of respect to the future Hall of Famer, the Giants are open to working out a deal if it makes sense” for the team and the player, Morosi added.

The Giants have fallen out of the division race and the team is ready to sell at the trade deadline, offering up former MVP Justin Verlander.

The end of a very tall era.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have a Michael Conforto issue after Max Muncy news emerged.

The Giants got the deadline started with a bang back in June, but will it end with a whimper?

San Francisco made a curious move.

Taylor was dealt to the Pirates, while Tyler is heading to the Mets.

The San Francisco Giants have traded right-handed reliever Tyler Rogers to the New York Mets, The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported Wednesday afternoon. Per The New York Post's Joel Sherman, the Giants are receiving right-handed swingman Jose Butto, right-handed starter Blade Tidwell and outfielder Drew Gilbert in return for Rogers.

The Mets have bolstered their bullpen.
