Giants Trade Yastrzemski, Rogers; Webb Becomes Longest-Tenured Player

The San Francisco Giants underwent significant roster changes at the trade deadline, moving on from long-tenured players Tyler Rogers and Mike Yastrzemski, with the latter being acquired by the Kansas City Royals. Yastrzemski, who debuted with the Giants in 2019, is hitting .231 with 8 home runs and 28 RBIs this season. With these departures, Giants starting pitcher Logan Webb has become the longest-tenured player on the team, a leadership role he has embraced and is under contract through 2028. Meanwhile, the Baltimore Orioles acquired pitching prospect Anthony Nunez from the New York Mets in exchange for outfielder Cedric Mullins. Additionally, the Houston Astros traded Mikulski to the Minnesota Twins in a deal involving Carlos Correa, with Mikulski seen mainly as a salary dump given his performance and age. These moves reflect a period of transition for several MLB teams as they adjust rosters for future competitiveness.
