ORLANDO — As the Giants’ miserable season wound down, the front office designated only three untradeable players with 2018 on the horizon: Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford and Madison Bumgarner.
Has that changed?
Posey and Crawford have full no-trade protection in their contracts, but Bumgarner can be dealt without requiring his consent and has just two years remaining before free agency.
Would the Giants part with their celebrated left-hander — especially if he could command a $200 million contract in two years and the Giants don’t figure to be championship-caliber next year — to fill multiple holes on a roster that needs drastic upgrading?
