Before getting too deep into a roundup of speculative MLB trades involving San Francisco Giants players, these trades probably will not happen.

But, there's always a chance -- albeit a slim one -- that one or two of these trade possibilities actually does come to fruition.

When a trade speculation involves first baseman Bryce Eldridge, though, it really cannot be taken too seriously at all.

Nevertheless, for maybe a few thoughts, Bleacher Report on Wednesday posted a story about some MLB trade packages. They used the Baseball Trade Values website as a gauge on whether these deals get made. A number of MLB teams were mentioned in the article, but let's focus on what the article highlighted as possible Giants deals.

One deal would have Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge traded for Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams in a one-for-one swap.

"We know the Giants have kicked the tires on acquiring Abrams, but they've probably balked at being willing to part with Eldridge, instead hoping that the Nationals will accept a 'one quarter and four dimes for a dollar' type of offer that they took from the (Texas) Rangers for MacKenzie Gore," Kerry Miller of Bleacher Report wrote.

"Could be a simple one-for-one swap, though, giving Washington its primary first baseman for the next six-plus years."

Another deal tossed out would have the Giants shipping outfielder Heliot Ramos to the Kansas City Royals for pitcher Kris Bubic.

"The Giants just signed Harrison Bader on Monday, so might they now trade from what is somewhat of a surplus of outfielders to secure what could be the final piece of their rotation puzzle?" Miller wrote.

"Ramos has eclipsed 20 home runs in each of the past two seasons, but he's a considerable liability on defense," Miller added. "Kansas City could look to use him at DH on a regular basis, though."

How about one more silly trade that gets mentioned in the article? So, the Giants would send outfielder Bo Davidson and right-handed pitcher Blade Tidwell to the Chicago Cubs for infielder Nico Hoerner.

"Davidson is probably still at least a year away," Miller wrote. "But with both Ian Happ and Seiya Suzuki hitting free agency next winter, looking ahead to 2027 with an outfielder acquisition is probably the play for Chicago -- especially after trading away Owen Caissie to get Edward Cabrera.

"And Tidwell is hardly a throwaway piece in the deal," Miller continued. "He was one of the chips San Francisco got for Tyler Rogers this past summer, and he has some promise if he keeps the walks under control."

Again, to be clear, all of these trade situations are speculative at best. A metric was used to measure whether they would actually get done.

Don't think that some of these trade situations will come to fruition. Still, it's some good fodder for water cooler chit-chat as spring training is just around the corner.
