According to a Jon Morosi report, the San Francisco Giants have had preliminary discussions with the Phillies and Brewers about a potential trade for Madison Bumgarner. They’ve also had some talks with the Braves as well.
Honestly, Giants fans shouldn’t be surprised. If they were ever going to trade Bumgarner, now is the time to do it. They wouldn’t be doing their due dilligence if they didn’t attempt to see what they could get for Bumgarner in the trade market.
The Giants need to put something together that gives them a better look long-term. As we all know the farm system has improved in the last two years, but it’s still looked at as a bottom third system in terms of talent.
