Despite persistent trade inquiries, the San Francisco Giants are committed to Logan Webb.
No matter how many times Logan Webb's name gets brought up as a trade candidate, the San Francisco Giants continue to refuse.
USA TODAY's Bob Nightengale reported that Webb "will not" be traded even though multiple teams continue to ask.
Nightengale didn't reveal which teams are interested in pursuing the Giants ace, but it seems like a forgone conclusion that he'll be with San Francisco for years to come.
Remember, Webb is under contract through the 2028 season. This is a guy who signed a five-year, $90 million deal, and San Francisco is looking to add starters, not remove them.

Webb has been with the Giants for his entire career, so it makes complete sense that the team would want to keep him around after all he's done.
With how much of a fire sale this team had at the deadline, teams asking about Webb's status comes as no surprise. But Nightengale put that noise to rest once and for all.
Giants will be keeping Webb
Nightengale said the Giants "are interested in seeking at least two free-agent starters," though they're going to stay out of the Tarik Skubal sweepstakes.
It's not like they're going for a direct quantity over quality approach, but it feels like adding two starters for the price of one is a smart move given the team's abysmal record in 2026.
Adding to this rotation is a no-brainer, and while they would've loved to keep Robbie Ray around in '26, there's always a chance he could come back.
For now, Webb remains the ace of this rotation, but that could always change depending on who's brought in during free agency.
Moving forward, San Francisco seems to have its prioritize figured out, and that's music to this team's ears as they finished three losses shy of 100 this past season.
Recapping Webb's career in San Francisco
Webb has been an incredible pitcher across the 207 appearances he's had in San Francisco. Some could argue it's a nostalgia move to keep him around, but it's almost the complete opposite.
Even though he's a few days away from turning 30, Webb was still a 1.3 WAR player in 2026. Looking at his numbers from 2021-25, that's trending in the wrong direction, but Webb has shown he's always able to bounce back from a down year.
In '26, Webb finished 8-9 in 27 starts with a 4.31 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. His ERA was up over a full point, but that came with him throwing only 160.2 innings, which was his lowest since '21.
