Do Giants’ trade options include All-Stars?

SAN DIEGO - Reds outfielder Jay Bruce heard the rumors linking him to the Giants.

[...] he heard rumors linking him to a lot of teams.

The Giants are in the market for a hitter - Bruce is hitting .267 with 18 homers and 63 RBIs -- though they might end up simply deepening their bench.

The Giants’ top prospect is shortstop Christian Arroyo, but they’ve been asked the most about pitcher Tyler Beede.

The Yankees, unless they come out of the break streaking, would be willing to part with relievers Aroldis Chapman and Dellin Betances as the Aug. 1 trade deadline approaches.

Buster Posey’s not a big fan of having the home-field advantage for the World Series determined by the All-Star Game.

[...] I feel there’s got to be some other incentive for making it count than the home-field advantage through the World Series.

[...] overall, this is a fun exhibition, and I’d rather see the best record get the home-field advantage for the World Series.
