In nearly three weeks as the Giants' president of baseball operations, Farhan Zaidi has said very little publicly about his plans for ace Madison Bumgarner.
All the while, a trade involving Bumgarner has become more realistic.
Multiple sources indicated Monday that the Giants are willing to engage with other teams about the possibility of dealing their ace and three-time World Series champion. The Brewers and Phillies are among the teams that have had at least preliminary dialogue about trading for Bumgarner, sources say.
The Braves also checked in with the Giants regarding Bumgarner earlier this offseason, sources say, but there are no active talks or optimism for a trade with Atlanta.
