SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner has worn the San Francisco Giants uniform for the last 10 seasons, but his days of donning the orange and black could soon be numbered.
Fewer than 24 hours after Bumgarner, 29, dominated the best team in the National League, the Giants’ window to trade one of their franchise pillars is open for the first time.
After tossing seven innings of one-run ball against a Dodgers lineup that at times appeared overwhelmed against the veteran lefty, Bumgarner is a target of nearly every club around the league with playoff aspirations.
For the past two seasons, Bumgarner’s name has floated in and out of trade rumors, but no executive around the league had any luck convincing the Giants to crack open their window.
