It's almost decision time for Farhan Zaidi.
Through the first three months of the season, it appeared to be obvious that Zaidi and the Giants would be sellers at the MLB trade deadline. But then, things changed.
After their loss to the Mets on Saturday, the Giants now are 14-3 in July. They currently sit at 49-50 and are 2 1/2 games out of the second NL wild-card spot.

The current winning streak appears to have changed the Giants' line of thinking as the July 31 deadline approaches, at least for the moment.
With the team now firmly back in the playoff discussion, the Giants are set to "ride out the current wave of wins" before determining a course, ESPN's Buster Olney reported Sunday, citing a source.
The Giants will finish a four-game series with the Mets on Sunday before facing the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres for three games apiece. Those six games could determine whether or not the Giants decide to trade the likes of Madison Bumgarner, Will Smith, Tony Watson and Sam Dyson. If their hot streak continues and the trade market sees an influx of pitchers, it appears the Giants will hold onto their pieces and see Bumgarner, Buster Posey and the rest of the old guard have a little magic left in the bottle.

The Giants won't win the division, but their current winning streak has them dreaming of October, and one last playoff ride for Bruce Bochy.
