Giants General Manager Brian Sabean said Tuesday that making a significant trade by Thursday, the deadline for teams to complete postseason rosters, looks like a ``long shot.''
This is largely because of the many teams still in contention for a playoff spot. Entering Tuesday, nine teams, including the Giants, were within five games of National League wild-card leader Cincinnati.
``There's a much smaller group of appealing or available players,'' Sabean said.

Barry Bonds hit his 726th and 727th home runs Tuesday night for his first two-homer game this season, moving within 28 of Hank Aaron's career record.
Returning to the city where Hammerin' Hank broke Babe Ruth's mark, Bonds drove a 2-1 pitch from Atlanta's Tim Hudson over the center-field wall in the second inning, the second of back-to-back homers by the Giants.
In the sixth, Bonds added a two-run shot off Hudson to nearly the same spot for his 19th homer of the season.

Greg Anderson was found in contempt of court for his refusal to talk and could remain behind bars for more than a year while the grand jury investigates Barry Bonds for perjury and tax evasion.
"Sometimes sitting in the cooler for a long time may have a therapeutic affect and may change his mind," U.S. District Judge William Alsup said during the rancorous, hourlong hearing, after which authorities whisked Anderson into custody.
"Maybe in 16 months he will change his mind," Alsup said, referring to the remainder of the grand jury's term.
