Barring a reversal of fortune and some extreme exceeding of expectations, the San Francisco Giants will be sellers at the trade deadline.
That’s not shocking news for a team that had a largely inactive offseason on the heels of a second straight losing season.
If they do wind up selling this summer, Madison Bumgarner will be the focal point of trade rumors, given his postseason pedigree and impending free agency.
There’s certainly a chance the Giants bite the bullet and trade their homegrown ace, though that’s far from a foregone conclusion, especially if they intend to make a run at re-signing him.
