The Giants ace may be on the decline statistically, but his strategic move might land him a massive new contract with a contender. MadBum is a MadGenius looking for MadCash. That’s one way of looking at one of the great power plays in MLB trade history. Last week, San Francisco Giants ace pitcher Madison Bumgarner

Eight teams need Madison Bumgarner’s consent before dealing for him this season, but some franchises need the ace southpaw more than others. As the San Francisco Giants fall further and further out of the race in the NL West, it becomes more and more likely that Madison Bumgarner is going to be dealt. It’s very
Madison Bumgarner has submitted an interesting no-trade list, but those eight teams should not be discouraged. As a free agent after the season on a team that’s 16-23 entering Sunday (last place in the NL West, 8.5 games back), San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner is one of the most obvious trade candidates out there.
Teams interested in trading for Madison Bumgarner need to take note of his recent performance. The Giants ace is going to be very expensive. Last season there was a palpable sense among MLB scouts that Madison Bumgarner’s best days might be behind him. Fortunately for Giants general manager Farhan Zaidi, his talented ace has emphatically
The San Francisco Giants make a big upgrade to their defense on Tuesday, acquiring center fielder Kevin Pillar from the Toronto Blue Jays Trade rumors have swirled around the veterans on the Toronto Blue Jays roster for months, and just five games into the 2019 season those rumors became reality.

The Giants have discussed a 10-year contract with Bryce Harper, proving that they are all-in on one of the biggest MLB free agents in years. As recently as a few weeks ago, it didn’t seem like the San Francisco Giants were very high on Bryce Harper’s radar. But of course, that was when it was
Bryce Harper remains without a team just days before spring training, and the Giants are reportedly interested in signing him to a short-term deal. It’s crazy to think that it could even come to this, but the possibility of Bryce Harper signing a short-term deal could be growing by the day. It still seems unlikely,
Madison Bumgarner doesn’t like the idea of the Giants potentially using an ‘opener’ in games, and he has every right to feel that way. If you ask Madison Bumgarner how he feels about Major League Baseball teams using an “opener” on the mound to start games, he’ll probably be pretty honest with you. He doesn’t
Madison Bumgarner has been a great San Francisco Giant for many years, but it’s time for the organization to get what they can for the dominant lefty. It’s time for the Giants to get serious about why they are as a franchise. Some people inside the organization may harbor hopes of contending for an NL
Andrew McCutchen isn’t the dynamic force he was back in his younger days, but he can help the Yankees fill multiple holes in their roster.

After playing at less than 100 percent all season, the San Francisco Giants catcher is making the smart decision for his future.

In last night’s game between NL West rivals the Dodgers and Giants, Yasiel Puig and Nick Hundley exchanged shoves, causing the benches to clear. The Dodgers made a lot of noise at the trade deadline acquiring the biggest name on the market in Manny Machado. They showed that they remained all in on this season.
MLB trade action is sure to heat up over the next couple weeks, but the Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants didn’t do much to move the needle on Sunday. Manny Machado. Noah Syndergaard. Josh Donaldson. Brian Dozier. J.A. Happ. Jose Abreu. Adrian Beltre. These are some of the notable names contending teams are in
The Giants set themselves up for success in 2018 with an active offseason. But mostly due to injuries, things haven’t gone according to plan.

But he has been making consistent progress in his return from a

They may not be the team to beat in the National League, but don’t sleep on the San Francisco Giants. Tied with the Detroit Tigers last season for the worst record in the league, it’s safe to say the San Francisco Giants were not good. They weren’t expected to be world-beaters in the first place,
The San Francisco Giants have made upgrades in the trade market, and now they should lock up a player already on the team. The San Francisco Giants were terrible in 2017.

The San Francisco Giants continue their offseason facelift, as they already acquired former All-Star third baseman Evan Longoria in a deal with the Tampa Bay Rays. Now, they have traded for
The San Francisco Giants went for broke on Monday afternoon, acquiring outfield Andrew McCutchen via trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Apparently, general manager Brian Sabean
