The annual MLB All-Star game took place on Tuesday night under the lights of Truist Park in Atlanta, and the San Francisco Giants were well represented in the Midsummer Classic. The club sent three of their elite pitchers to the showcase event; reliever Randy Rodriguez and both halves of their elite duo at the top of the starting rotation -- Robbie Ray and Logan Webb. Of the grouping, only Rodriguez and Webb saw any action as Ray was ruled unavailable after making a start in the Giants' last game before the All-Star break this past Sunday.

The question of "who won" the Rafael Devers trade between the Boston Red Sox and the San Francisco Giants will likely span generations. Boston sending Devers and his entire contract to San Francisco for a decent, but not overwhelming four-player package was one of the most shocking moves of the 21st century.

It's the All-Star Break, which means it's a good time to reflect on the first half of the season and take stock of where things stand. One of the biggest storylines of the first half was the Boston Red Sox's shocking trade of Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on June 15. It was a bold, franchise-altering decision for the Red Sox, who faced considerable criticism over trading their best hitter in his prime during the middle of a playoff race. A month later, the dust has settled a bit, and it looks like Boston may have won the trade after all.

Logan Webb's 2024 MLB All-Star Game appearance didn't go as planned. This year, he was just about the only one who had a straightforward performance at the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday in Atlanta. The San Francisco Giants right-handed ace earned his first All-Star selection last season and pitched the third inning in Arlington, Texas, surrendering three runs in his debut and squandering a three-run lead for the National League. Things went a little bit better for Webb the second time around.

The MLB All-Star Week signals the halfway point of the baseball season. So which 25 players have been the best so far?

After a surprisingly successful first half of the season for the San Francisco Giants, the team is going to need to be ready for some stiff competition in the National League after the All-Star break. Not too many likely expected to see the Giants in the playoff hunt at this stage of the year, but the team is over .500 and trying to win. A recent blockbuster trade to acquire Rafael Devers from the Boston Red Sox is a strong indication that Buster Posey is looking to be aggressive. While Devers will help improve the lineup, there is still some work to be done if San Francisco is going to be able to keep pace.
