Giants general manager Brian Sabean knows what he'll be looking for if he decides to plug the trigger on a trade.

"Not enough teams are completely out of it, which is why I think the market is going to be late-developing," Sabean said. "You can't definitively know who they have available. And those who are have so many suitors. Whoever makes a trade early is going to really have to pay the price.

"The one good thing is we know what we need."

Sabean added he and his staff have identified a "narrow list" of potential trade targets.
