Report: Giants ‘likely’ to be buyers at trade deadline, plan to keep Bumgarner

The San Francisco Giants are likely to add players at baseball’s trade deadline, rather than selling prominent players off to contending teams, per a report from MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand.

Yes, the 2019 San Francisco Giants.

What a difference a month makes.

Coming into spring training and as the Giants toiled through the first two months of the season, it was a foregone conclusion that they’d be too far out of the playoff picture to sniff a wild card spot come late July. They’d have to send Bumgarner, an upcoming free agent, to greener pastures in exchange for prospects as they rebuild.
