Phillies trade rumor: Madison Bumgarner trade could come early

If a Phillies trade rumor regarding adding starting pitching comes up, it will more than likely include San Francisco Giants ace Madison Bumgarner.

According to Jayson Stark of The Atheltic in an interview with Mike Missanelli on 97.5 The Fanatic, a Bumgarner trade could come sooner rather than later.

“I’m hearing that Madison Bumgarner could be traded as early as mid June and the Phillies will be in on that.”

Philadelphia’s rotation has been in flux with Nick Pivetta bouncing between Lehigh Valley and the big leagues and Vince Velasquez (finally) being moved to the bullpen.
