The San Francisco Giants had an incredibly disappointing 2026 season.
The Giants finished the season as one of baseball's worst teams, as they had a 65-97 record. Only the Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Angels, and Athletics had worse records than the Giants this past campaign.
With the Giants coming off such a poor season, several of their players have been creating chatter in the rumor mill as potential trade candidates. Among them is star pitcher Logan Webb, as there is no question that MLB contenders would love to add the three-time All-Star to their roster.

Yet, a significant update has been provided on Webb's future with the Giants.
In a recent article for USA Today, Bob Nightengale reported that the Giants have no plans to trade Webb as he generates interest from around the league.

"The San Francisco Giants will not trade ace Logan Webb, no matter how many teams continue to ask for the ace. The Giants want to add starters, but subtract, and are interested in seeking at least two free-agent starters, but that the Skubal’s price-tag is too high for their liking," Nightengale wrote.
With the Giants looking to have better results in 2027, it makes sense that they are planning to hold onto Webb this offseason. He is a major part of their starting rotation, and trading him would only make San Francisco's roster significantly weaker.
Webb had a down season by his standards in 2026, as he posted an 8-9 record to go along with a 4.31 ERA. Yet, when noting that he had a 3.47 ERA or lower in his five previous six seasons, there is clear reason to believe that he can bounce back next season. Thus, it is understandable that the Giants want to keep him in San Francisco.
It will now be interesting to see what moves the Giants make as this offseason rolls on. With Webb appearing to be staying put, it would not be surprising if they looked to add more talent around him for next season. The Giants need to do so if they hope to be better in 2027.
